Marc Whitford Eliminated in 21st Place ($15,242)

Martin Jacobson opened with a raise to 38,000. Next door, Marc Whitford moved all in. It took quite a while to count down his stack, as the shaky-handed dealer was having difficulty stacking down the chips. In the end, it looked like 99,000 more to call, and Jacobson did just that, putting Whitford at risk.

Showdown
Jacobson: {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}
Whitford: {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

The flop was safe for the all-in player, coming {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. A dangerous {4-Diamonds} landed on the turn though, and the {A-Diamonds} that spiked the river made Jacobson the winning flush. Whitford shook his opponent's hand, wished the table luck, and departed as the first elimination on Day 3.
