Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Matthew Leecy - 9th Place
Matthew Leecy - 9th Place

Just one hand after Derrick Kuenzel hit the rail in tenth place, Matthew Leecy moved all in for about 450,000 from middle position and Chris Johnson made the call from the button. Johnson held the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} to Leecy's {A-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and put Johnson even further in front. The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and the river the {8-Hearts}. Leecy failed to come from behind and was eliminated in ninth place for $14,249. Johnson moved to 2.5 million in chips.
