Nicholas Goodall Eliminated in Ninth Place ($40,195)
Robert Cheung raised to $80,000 and Nicholas Goodall called. Erica Schoenberg also called and the flop rolled out 7 6 2, Schoenberg checked, Cheung bet, and Goodall thought a minute before he moved all in. Schoenberg pondered her move for a minute also, and then she too moved all in over the top of Goodall. Cheung abandoned ship at this point. Goodall showed down pocket eights, but Schoenberg turned up pocket twos for a set of deuces. The turn brought the 6, which gave Schoenberg a full house, and Goodall’s hope was reduced to one of the two remaining eights in the deck. The river brought the J, and Schoenberg took the pot with a full house. She increased her stack to 1,915,000 and jumped into the chip lead. Goodall was eliminated in ninth place, and he took home $40,195.
