The defending champ of the Western New York Poker Challenge is gone.

Matthew Sande, who won this event last year for $44,582, moved all in for 102,000 from the cutoff and Mike Shavensky called off for 92,500 from the button. The blinds both folded and Sande discovered the bad news.

Sande: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Shavensky: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Sande had some kicker issues, but he perked up a bit when the {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop gave him chop outs.

"Deuce," he said. The dealer instead put out the {7-Diamonds} to give him even more chop outs.

"Six?" he asked one last time. It fell on deaf ears though as the {J-Clubs} blanked on the river. Sande was left with just 8,500, and it went in the very next hand. Unfortunately he wasn't able to win that one, and his run came to an end in 20th place.
