Time to Gamble

The short stacks are taking their chances here at the end of the day. J.C. Tran moved all in preflop and was called by several players. Michael McDonald turned over the winner on a {j-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {7-Spades} board when he showed {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. That knocked Tran out of the tournament.

Tyler Cornell also got it in the middle against McDonald, but he survived when his {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs} held up agaist McDonald's {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} by flopping an ace and never looking back.
