Bradley Craig Eliminated in 50th Place ($138,568)

Bradley Craig - 50th Place
Bradley Craig - 50th Place
Jonathan Tamayo opened the action with a raise to 160,000. Bradley Craig was in the small blind and put in a three-bet for the second hand in a row. The reraise looked to be around 325,000 more. Tamayo then moved all in and Craig quickly called, standing from his chair.

Tamayo tabled {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} and Craig held {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}.

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {9-Spades} and Tamayo's kings held strong. Tamayo stepped away from the table after the river card was dealt to pump his fist a few times. His railbirds yelled out, "Nice hand, Texas! Way to go, Texas!" as "Texas" is Tamayo's nickname.

Craig was eliminated after the final count was complete while Tamayo shot up to 7.5 million.
