Hevad Khan Eliminated

Team PokerStars Pro, Hevad Khan - Eliminated
The man who has brought so much entertainment to the Main Event over several years, Hevad Khan, has just been eliminated within sight of the money.

After a preflop raising war, Khan and his opponent Norman Gautron found their chips in the middle before the flop.

Khan: {A-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Gautron: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Gautron takes down the monster pot to 520,000 to leave Khan with just 9,000 in chips.

"That's poker..." sighed Khan.

A few moments later Khan was all in with {A-Spades}{7-Spades} against the {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} of Brendan Taylor with the board running out {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{K-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Khan hits the rail just short of the cash.
