There's around 65,000 in the middle, and the board reads 9♣8♠5♠. A player in middle position bets 15,000, and Zach Donovan pauses in the hijack, before announcing that he is all in.  The player in middle position snap-calls, and quickly turns over 8♣8 for a set of eights. Donovan tables JJ for an overpair to the board.

The 5♣ turn improves Donovan's opponent to a full house.

Unfortunately for Donovan, the Q river does not improve his hand, and he is eliminated from play.

Donovan pushes his stack out in front of him and stands up, when his opponent says, "Bye bye birdie!" 

Donovan walks away without saying anything in response.

"Please put that he said, 'Bye Bye Birdie,' in the blog," table mate Nick Palma says.
