Michael Whitfield Eliminated in 10th Place ($38,445)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Michael Whitfield - Eliminated in 10th Place
Michael Whitfield - Eliminated in 10th Place

Ben White opened to 52,000 from early position, and Michael Whitfield moved all in for 420,000. The action folded back to White who looked at his cards one last time before calling, and opening up {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}.

White unhappily showed {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

The {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop kept the door open for Whitfield, but it was promptly shut when the turn and river came {6-Clubs}, {8-Hearts} respectively.

Whitfield was eliminated just before the official final table, while White padded his chip lead.
