Neal Gay opened from the hijack to 215k. Lavenburg 3-bet to 450k in the hijack. The button and blinds folded out before Gay quickly moved all-in for ~1.1M. Lavenburg made the call and Gay would be at risk.
Gay A♦A♣ vs Lavenburg 8♥8♣ Pot: ~2.4M
Board: J♦J♥10♦8♠7♥
Gay takes a gut-wrenching beat at this stage of the event and is out. Lavenburg now has ~7.9M and is back in the chip-lead. The table will now have to open up as the field just went from eight to five players very quickly and short-handed play is now getting started.
Neal Gay is eliminated in 6th place for $24,585.
