Philippe Plouffe Eliminated in 12th Place ($21,000)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Philippe Plouffe - 12th place
Philippe Plouffe - 12th place

First in from the button, Steve O'Dwyer raised it up to 44,000. Tyler Kenney called in the small blind, but the action wasn't done yet. In the big, Philippe Plouffe squeezed his remaining 475,000 chips into the pot on a three-bet shove. Plouffe has been prone to shoving more so than the rest of the field today, a factor which O'Dwyer perhaps considered as he made the call for about 75% of his chips with {A-Spades} {9-Clubs}. Kenney ducked out, and Plouffe showed up his {8-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, at risk and trailing.

The {K-Clubs} {4-Spades} {J-Hearts} flop was an airball for Plouffe, and so was the {K-Hearts} turn. Looking for one of six outs but finding none, the river {7-Hearts} was close but no cigar for the at-risk player. Plouffe is thusly out in 11th place, and O'Dwyer will not go quietly. He was extremely short-stacked on Day 2, down to 20 big blinds again today, but he now finds himself sitting pretty in fourth place with 1.22 million.
