Andrew Porter Eliminated in 24th Place ($3,345)
Andrew Porter was all in for 700,000 from the small blind and up against Michael Klein in middle position.
Andrew Porter: A♠J♠
Michael Klein: Q♣Q♠
Porter was looking for an ace to survive, but he couldn't connect with the 7♥5♥10♦10♠2♠ board and was eliminated.
"How do you get a hand you can do that with?" tablemate David Lu said to Klein.
"There are many ways to get lucky," Klein replied.
At another table, John Alexander had opened to 90,000 in middle position and Chris DeQuatro called in the cutoff. MR then three-bet to 350,000 on the button and Alexander moved all in for 835,000. DeQuatro got out of the way, but MR called to put Alexander at risk.
John Alexander: J♦J♠
MR: A♣K♠
Alexander was racing for his tournament life, and his jacks held on through the 4♦6♣5♠Q♦9♦ board to earn the double up.
