Brent Hanks Eliminated in 16th Place ($19,275)

Brent Hanks is in the small blind and Adam Aronson is in the big blind when the two see a flop of [Kd6c2h].  Hanks bets 87,000 and Aronson raises to 275,000 total.  Hanks eyes his opponent, thinks a bit, then moves all-in for an additional 503,000.  

Aronson deliberates a minute before calling with [KsQc] for top pair.  Hanks shows [8c8s] for a pair of eights.  Aronson has Hanks covered.

The turn brings the [Qs] and the river the [4d] and Aronson improves to two pair, kings and queens, to eliminate Hanks and take the pot.

Adam Aronson – 2,150,000 (108 BBs)
Brent Hanks – eliminated in 16th place ($19,275)
