"SenorAlto" Eliminated in 2nd Place ($519 + $30 in Bounties)

"SenorAlto"
"SenorAlto"

In Level 31 with blinds of 35,000/70,000 and an ante of 8,750, all of the chips got in the middle preflop with "SenorAlto" at risk for their tournament life against "rumpthumper," who was in the big blind.

"SenorAlto": {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
"rumpthumper": {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

"SenorAlto" got their unpaired ace all in preflop and found it up against a pair of eights, leaving them with just three outs to double and stay alive. None came on the flop {3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}, and they picked up four more outs to a backdoor gutshot straight draw on the turn {4-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for them, they would get no closer as the river {q-Clubs} finished the runout and thereby the tournament.

"SenorAlto" finished in second place, earning $519 plus $30 from six knockouts, while "rumpthumper" has claimed victory and the accompanying first-place prize of $750. They also knocked 10 players out of the tournament, and will receive their own bounty to make their total bounty prize $55 and bring their overall earnings from the tournament to $805. A full recap of the tournament will be provided shortly.
