Last Year's Runner-Up Eliminated... Again
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Sean Winter, who finished runner-up to Nick Maimone in this event at last year's PCA, has been eliminated from the tournament for a second and final time.
It happened when there was around 15,000 in the pot and a flop of 
. Oleksii Khoroshenin checked under the gun and Winter bet 4,600 from the hijack. Khoroshenin then woke up with a check-raise to 16,100, Winter called, and the 
appeared on the turn.
Khoroshenin took a long time before moving all in, and Winter hit the tank to debate what to do with his last 34,500.
Eventually he called off with the 
and discovered the bad news, that Khoroshenin held the 
for a full house. The 
river failed to pair the board for Winter, and he was eliminated from the tournament for a second time.
