Steven Gurney-Goldman Eliminated in 14th Place ($17,104)

Steven Gurney-Goldman 14th Place.

Steven Gurney-Goldman just ran into the Derek Browning machine and is out as a result.

After calling a 200k bet on a {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop, Gurney-Goldman was faced with another 500k bullet from the hot running Browning following the brick-like {5-Spades} turn.

He looked down at pocket sixes and let it fly, shipping his last 800k in the middle. Browning snap-called with {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} and after a another brick on the river Gurney-Goldman said his goodbyes.

In the meantime, Browing is up close to 3.5 million, in total control and running extremely well.
