Skip McDonough (Jupiter, FL) has been the model of tournament poker consistency, reaching at least $40,000 in earnings the past three years.

Just a few hands into the final table, Skip McDonough (Jupiter, FL) opened the action with a raise, and got called by Chad Eveslage (who was on the button).  The K♦ 10♦ 5♣ flop action would go check-check, with Skip getting his remaining 400,000 in on the Q♦ turn.  Chad made the call, and the hands were exposed:

McDonough: K♠ K♣ 

Eveslage: A♦ 8♦

River: J♠

Skip flopped top set, but lost his lead on the turn, when Chad made the nut-flush.  McDonough needed the board to pair, but the river brought the J, sealing the win for Eveslage.

Chad Eveslage - 1,450,000

Skip McDonough - Eliminated (10th Place - $6,849)
