DERMOTT ELIMINATES O'NEILL IN 4TH

Start-of-final-table chipleader Mike O'Neill and David McDermott are the only two players to see a flop here, four-handed at the @HPTpoker East Chicago Final Table. McDermott opens and O'Neill comes along preflop.

2c - 8s - 4c goes the flop and here comes the action. O'Neill opens, McDermott moves all in and O'Neill calls off his stack, with O'Neill at risk.

• Jacks (ds) for an overpair for O'Neill, but he needs major help
• Eights (dh) for McDermott as he flopped TopSet

The board runs out Qs - 3d and O'Neill is out in 4th place, cashing for $52,555.

McDermott scores his third elimination in less than an orbit, moving to 7.2 million.

The field was 8-handed just 30 minutes ago, now there's only three. I don't think anyone saw this final table being thee-handed within HOURS of this mark.
