Sean Bartlett Eliminated by Brian Croak
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Sean Bartlett was seen leaving the poker room after he was unable to get his pocket jacks to bring him to victory against Brian Croak's ace-queen on a queen-high board.
Bartlett has fired all four flights and put forth a valiant effort but it just wasn't in the cards for him in this event.
Keep an eye out for Bartlett throughout the rest of the events this week - it is unlikely he will give up just yet!
