Alfred Decarolis Eliminated in 10th Place ($411,490)

Nível 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The action folded around to Chris Brewer in the small blind who shoved all in as the big stack. Alfred Decarolis was in the big blind with a stack of around 1,800,000 and called it off.

Alfred Decarolis: Q♠5♠
Chris Brewer: A♦9♣

The flop came J♠9♠9♥ and Brewer flopped three nines to take a stranglehold on the hand. Decarolis had a flush draw but the J♦ on the turn negated any hope of that. The river was the 8♣ and Decarolis was eliminated in 10th place.
