Sam Grafton Eliminated in 24th Place (�23,000)
As Massimo Di Cicco was being eliminated in 25th place on the adjacent table and the announcement was being made to the other tables to stop after one more hand, Glen Cymbaluk opened with a raise to 40,000 from the hijack seat, then Sam Grafton pushed all in for 246,000 total.
It folded back to Cymbaluk who tanked for a bit, during which time media done with watching Di Cicco's bustout gravitated over to the table. "Vultures!" said Grafton with a smile as Cymbaluk continued to consider what to do.
Finally Cymbaluk called, showing 
, and Grafton tabled his 
. "I do feel like a king is coming," said Grafton as the dealer burned a card and prepared to deliver the flop.
It arrived without a king, but there was a six to pair Grafton as the flop came 
. Alas for Grafton, the turn was the 
to give Cymbaluk a better pair, and when the 
landed to pair Cymbaluk again, Grafton was out in 24th place.
