Robert Koss Eliminated in 6th Place ($126,409)

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Robert Koss - 6th Place
Robert Koss - 6th Place

Action moved to Foster Hays in the cutoff seat and he raised to 300,000. Robert Koss reraised all in from the small blind for a little under two million and before Stanley Tavanese could fold in the big blind, Hays announced a call and exposed his hand. Tavanese then folded in turn and it was Hays' {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} against Koss' {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, but no player held a heart. The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} to give Hays the lead and then the river completed the board with the {2-Hearts}. Hays' pair of queens won the hand and he eliminated Koss in sixth place.

For exposing his hand and also acting out of turn, Hays has received a one-round penalty and will be sitting out for a bit.
