Hand #25: Skip Wilson Eliminated in 6th Place ($112,840)

Level 28: 50,000-100,000, 10,000 ante

Micahel Benvenuti raises under the gun to 220,000, and Noah Schwartz accidentally reveals 10-6 when he folds from the cutoff. Skip Wilson calls from the big blind. The flop comes 10club6heart5heart, and there is a reaction, as Schwartz would have flopped two pair.

Wilson moves all in, and Benvenuti says, "I don't think I can fold this one. Do you have aces?" Benvenuti asks for an exact count, and asks, "Did you flat with aces?"

The all-in amount is 1,010,000, and Benvenuti calls with QclubQdiamond. Wilson shows Qspade10heart, and he'll need to catch another ten or running hearts to stay alive.

The turn is the Jheart, and Wilson picks up a flush draw, giving him 11 outs to survive.

The river is the 2spade, and Michael Benvenuti wins the pot with his pocket queens. Skip Wilson is eliminated in sixth place, earning $112,840.

Seat 1.  Skip Wilson  -  Out in 6th Place ($112,840)
