Billy Pilossoph Eliminated in 20th Place ($44,433)

Billy Pilossoph - 20th Place Finisher
Billy Pilossoph - 20th Place Finisher
Billy Pilossoph was the second shortest stack coming into the day. If things had gone a little differently, he would have made the next pay jump. As it was, his short stack was rapidly diminishing without a single elimination having occurred. He open-shoved for 138,000 and was called by Chris Karagulleyan from the big blind. Karagulleyan's {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts} dominated Pilossoph's {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades}. It was the better hand at the start, and the better hand at the end after the dealer produced a board of {2-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. Pilossoph was therefore eliminated in 20th place, for which he earned $44,433 in prize money.
