Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Mike Pritchett
Mike Pritchett

Mike Pritchett raised to 8,000 from under the gun and both Tracy Sibon on the button and Kannon McCavit in the big blind called.

The flop rolled out Q97 and McCavit checked over to Pritchett who bet 8,000. Sibon moved all in for 74,000 and Pritchett became the only other player to continue.

Tracy Sibon: J10
Mike Pritchett: AQ

Pritchett's top pair was good on the flop but the turn K gave Sibon a king-high straight. Pritchett couldn't hit his flush on the 3 river and he was left with just two big blinds after the hand. He was eliminated shortly after.

At the same table, Alec Magdan's quest for a fourth bag came up short as he was eliminated shortly after.
