Jacob Seale - A♣K♣
Grant Illig - A♠J♥
"I thought you were just putting the pressure on," Illig says when he sees he's dominated.
The flop comes A♥T♦8♣, leaving Illig with three outs or runner-runner for a straight. The 6♠ on the turn takes away the straight possibility and must catch a jack to stay alive. It doesn't arrive with the K♠ and Illig exits the tournament.
Jacob Seale - 443,000
Grant Illig - Out
