Michael Tillman moved all in preflop for his last 50,000 and was quickly called by Tad Macaraeg to put him at risk. 

Tillman held A♦4♦ but Macaraeg had him pipped with A♥8♦. Sure enough, the runout of 9♠3♥2♦9♦6♠ meant Macaraeg's eight-kicker played to eliminate Tillman. 

Macaraeg - 265,500  
Tillman - 0
