Olivier Busquet Eliminated in 13th Place ($20,000)
After Andy Andrejevic opened to 100,000 from the under-the-gun position, play folded over to Olivier Busquet in the cutoff seat. He reraised and made it 275,000 to go. Play then slid over to Barry Hutter in the big blind, and he went into the tank. After a minute or so, Hutter stuck in a reraise of his own to 610,000. Andrejevic folded, and then Busquet moved all in for just over 1.4 million. Hutter called.
Busquet was in a powerful position to double up with his 
against Hutter's 
. But, the 
flop had other things in mind when it put Hutter in the lead with a set of jacks. Still, Busquet could improve to a higher set or a straight, as he flopped an open-ended straight draw.
The turn was the 
to fill up Hutter, which meant Busquet's outs to a straight were taken away. The river was the 
, and Hutter won the pot with jacks full of queens.
Busquet was eliminated in 13th place for $20,000, and Hutter increased his stack to 4.45 million.
