Alex Ziskin Eliminated by Michael Pearson

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Michael Pearson opened to 1,200 under the gun, and bracelet winner Alex Ziskin went all in for 3,800 on the button. The blinds folded, and Pearson called to put Ziskin at risk.

Pearson: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Ziskin: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Pearson's eights were well ahead, and the flop was {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, giving Pearson an open-ended straight draw to go with his pair. The {9-Hearts} turn gave Pearson the straight, and the {7-Diamonds} river was insignificant. Ziskin hit the rail, and Pearson stacked the chips.
