Mike Sandler Eliminated in 2nd Place ($18,630)

Mike Sandler found himself at a severe chip disadvantage entering heads-up play, and within minutes he found himself all-in and hoping for a double.

Joe McKeehen had continued his relentless aggression with yet another preflop shove, knowing that even he was called and beaten, he'd still hold a huge chip lead. Sandler made the call with {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} to find himself out in front of the 22-year old pro's {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, but as she had been all day, fate sat squarely in McKeehen's corner.

The dealer fanned a flop of {4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and just like that Sandler was on the ropes. Needing to catch a king or some sort of runner-runner combination to make a straight, Sandler watched as the turn ({7-Clubs}) and river ({3-Hearts}) missed him completely.

Sandler offered McKeehen a sincere congratulations before heading to the payout desk to collect his $18,630 for a well-deserved runner-up finish.
