Chad Batista Eliminated in 56th Place ($22,230)

Chad Batista was crippled in a hand with Q-Q against another player’s 6-6 when the board came 4-4-5-2-3 to give his opponent a six-high straight. 

Chad Batista  –  3,000  (0.375 BBs)

The next hand, Jonathan Roy raises form early position to 18,000, Ted Lawson calls from the button, and Chad Batista is all in for 2,000 from the small blind. 

The flop comes [Qs9c7d], and as Roy puts in a bet of 28,000, Lawson says, "Raise" before Roy releases his chips. Lawson puts out 65,000 or so, but Roy quickly folds. 

Lawson shows [Qd10d] for a pair of queens. Batista flips over [Ks8d], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive. 

The turn is the [8c], the river is the [Jd], and Ted Lawson wins the pot with a queen-high straight to eliminate Chad Batista in 57th place.

Ted Lawson  –  275,000  (34 BBs)
Chad Batista  –  Out in 56th Place ($22,230)
