Thomas Wahlroos Eliminated in 14th Place ($30,089)

After winning that big hand just before in which Tino Lechich was eliminated, Wahlroos found himself involved in another huge pot soon afterwards.

On a flop of {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, Michael Guzzardi bet the pot, Wahlroos reraised with his entire 163,000, and Guzzardi called.

Guzzardi held {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} -- he'd flopped the nut flush. Wahlroos had {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades} -- he'd flopped top set.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts} and the river the {2-Spades}, and Wahlroos was done. "There was so much money in the pot, I had to gamble," he said afterwards.

Guzzardi is now up to 810,000. He and Kyle Kloeckner are at the top of the leaderboard at the moment.
