Gert Andersen - 14th Place
Gert Andersen - 14th Place
Ylon Schwartz raised to 500,000, Gert Andersen moved all in from the small blind and Schwartz made the call.

Andersen: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}

Schwartz: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}

Schwartz had Andersen dominated, and retained his lead when the flop came down {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {2-Hearts}. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Andersen picked up a double-gutshot straight draw, but the river came the {5-Hearts} and Andersen was eliminated in 14th place. He'll take home $463,201 for his performance.

After the hand, Schwartz was up to 17.6 million, good for second in chips.
