Hand #78: Nicholas Gerrity Out in 8th Place ($100,073)

Hand #78  –  Aaron Overton raises UTG+1 to 235,000, Darren Elias calls from the button, and Nicholas Gerrity (pictured) calls from the big blind.

All three players check to the turn on a board of [Kh6d2h7c], Gerrity checks, and Overton bets 360,000. Elias folds, and Gerrity moves all in for 1,485,000.

Overton tanks for a while before he calls with [KcJh] for a pair of kings. Gerrity turns over [Kd3d] for a pair of kings, lower kicker, and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The river card pairs the board with the [6h], and Overton wins the pot wtih two pair, kings and sixes, with his jack kicker. Gerrity is eliminated from the tournament in eighth place.
