Porte Eliminated
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jun Porte has been eliminated in 27th place with unknown action.
Update: After the elimination, we received the scoop from the man himself:
"On the very first hand, Jun Porte who was holding on by a very thin thread with less than 4 big blinds saw the action folded to him in the button. He looked down at
offsuit and was very happy to put it all in.
The small blind Maggie Morris considered calling but decided to fold and it was on the big blind Joseph Stiers who had the big stack at the table. Joseph didn't like his hand but the odds were too good to fold and he called with
suited of diamonds while saying to Porte "You are going to be happy to see these cards"
Flop came
, giving Stiers two pair. The turn was another
came on the river."
