Sterling Savill Eliminated in 8th Place ($26,930)

From middle position, Sterling Savill got his last 234,000 chips into the pot with {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Jim Harnden flatted in the hijack, and the action came around to Matthew O'Brien in the small blind. He wanted to play for more. A small reraise to 500,000 seemed in order, and Harnden spent a long while deliberating before surrendering to let Savill sweat it heads-up.

When O'Brien turned up {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}, Savill stood from his chair and pleaded with the dealer to help him out. The {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Hearts} flop was as blank as it gets, but the {J-Spades} turn kept Savill's hopes alive with five outs to the win. He couldn't get there, though. The river {8-Clubs} is the last card he'll see today, and the next piece of paper he's dealt will be a check worth $26,930.
