Card Player's "Player of the Year" Eric Baldwin has been eliminated when his pocket tens did not hold up. Baldwin was all in after a flop of 9x[4h][3h] against his opponent's [7h][5h], and while the turn was safe, the river was a 6 to make his opponent's gut shot straight.
Bluff Magazine's "Player of the Year" Jason Mercier has been eliminated in a similar fashion. Mercier was all in preflop holding AK against his opponent's JJ. Though the ATx flop was good for Mercier, the king on the turn gave his opponent a straight draw. The river queen made another gut shot straight and sent Mercier to the rail.
