Elimination Josh Kay

Josh Kay (pictured) raises to 500,000 from the button and Jay Lee moves all in from the big blind. Kay instantly calls for his last 4,550,000.

Kay: Diamond AClub K
Lee: Spade AClub Q

With Kay in great shape to double having Lee dominated, the dealer spread a Spade QHeart 8Spade 6 flop to put Lee soaring into the lead.

The turn of the Heart 2 changed little, and Kay would need a king on the river to stay alive.

The river lands the Spade J and Kay is eliminated in 3rd place for a $270,801 payday while simultaneously putting Jay Lee and Jeb Hutton heads-up for the WPT Choctaw title.
