Then Albert N, shoved all in for just over 1-million chips and Armand King looked down at ace-queen. He put both hands on his head and looked to the sky. He snatched up one chip, took a moment to rethink his decision, and tossed a single chip into the pot.

He was ahead of Albert N's ace-jack. Albert N was eliminated and shook hands with the remaining players as he headed to the rail.

Douglas James
Douglas James

Douglas James had two eliminations to his name, but couldn't dodge a flush draw with another big hand. James had aces and got all in on the flop against Reid Fortin. Fortin has {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and turned a flush which sent James quickly out of his chair. He took one step toward the rail, then looked back for a moment. It seemed he could barely believe what happened but he quietly accepted his fate and took 17th place.

Fortin is now the chip leader by more than 1-million.
