John Simonian Eliminated in 19th Place ($14,340)

From the button, Stephen Graner opens with a min-raise to 40,000. Dan Heimiller calls from the small blind, and John Simonian three-bet shoves for 623,000 in the big blind. Graner reraises all in over the top, Heimiller folds, and the cards are on their backs with Graner at risk.

Graner: [AsAh]
Simonian: [Ad7s]

The board runs out [Qh4sJh3d7h], and Simonian can not catch up. Graner’s pair tallies the knockout, and the final 18 players are now redrawing seats around the last two tables in play.

Stephen Graner – 1,495,000 (75 bb)
John Simonian – Out in 19th Place ($14,340)
