Mike 'The Mayor' Rellinger moved all in for 510,000 and was snapped off by Derek Schaud.

Schaud: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Rellinger: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop came {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, which was fairly safe for Rellinger.

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn was also safe, but the {j-Clubs} on the river had Rellinger walking away from the table in disgust as he was eliminated on the final table bubble.
