Ken Payne Eliminated in 12th Place ($5,163)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Two stops ago, Wisconsin's Ken Payne finished fifth at the MSPT Meskwaki, and now he has notched a 12th-place finish here at FireKeepers.

In what would be his last hand, action folded to Payne in the small blind and he raised to 60,000. JC Chen was in the big and decided to push back with a three-bet to 170,000, and that inspired Payne to quickly announce that he was all in for right around 500K. Chen snap-called.

Chen: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Payne: {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Payne was feeling the pain as his kicker had him in big trouble. The {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop was as dry as could be, and the {K-Clubs} turn actually paired Chen and left Payne drawing to a chop for his tournament life. He needed a jack on the river to do it, but it wasn't in the cards as the {6-Spades} blanked.
