The total PCA 2013 Main Event field is 987 players deep and 500 of them are returning for play today including the most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps.
We missed most of the preflop action but got to the table to find a short stacked player all in at risk for his last 19,300. Jake Cody had already made the call and we found Shawn Buchanan contemplating his action with 7,800 already committed.
Buchanan asked Cody how much he had left behind before ultimately deciding to lay down 
face up.
Buchanan made the correct lay down, as Cody turned up 
and was crushing the short stacked player's 
.
The board brought 
and Cody's aces were able to hold, eliminating the short stacked player and bringing his stack to about 115,000.

Allyn Jaffrey Shulman opened with a raise to 3,000 from early position. It folded to Andrey Shatilov who three-bet to 7,200 from the hijack. The cutoff folded and Tim Finne peeked at his cards before moving out a four-bet to 13,600 from the button.
Shulman released her hand and Shatilov moved all in. Finne snapped him off and the hands were flipped.
Shatilov: 
Finne: 
Finne was behind and in need of help with five cards to come. The board fell 
and Shatilov's kings held, bringing an end to Finne's 2013 PCA run.

Busting from a poker tournament is rarely a pleasant experience and at the PCA there’s a long walk for the departed during which they can contemplate their demise. But could it be different? Could there be a perfect way to leave a poker tournament. We may have a solution here.
