| Patrick Jackson Eliminated in 5th Place ($5,164) |
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 20,000
Brian Malone raises to 250,000 from under the gun and Jeffrey Giordano calls in the small blind as does Patrick Jackson in the big blind.
The flop comes 8♣6♣2♠. Giordano checks, Jackson bets 425,000, and Malone makes it 1,100,000. Giordano opts to fold, and Jackson announces that he is all in. Malone calls and the players table their hands.
Jackson: 7♣5♣ (straight/flush draws)
Malone: Q♣Q♥ (over pair to the board)
"Just has to fade the world here," table mate Patrick McConnell says to Malone.
The turn is the 8♥ which does not change the hand, and when the A♠ river comes safe for Malone, McConnell says, "Just fades the world."
"How do I miss there?" Jackson asks quietly as he heads to the payout desk.
Brian Malone - 5,550,000 (34 bb)
Patrick Jackson - Eliminated in 5th place, taking home $5,164
