Level 24
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Alexander Loose, who started the day with the second smallest chip stack, opened for a raise in late position. Joe Stiers three-bet to 185,000 two spots to his left, Loose moved all in, and Stiers called.

Stiers: 
The 
flop was clean for Loose, but the 
spiked on the turn to give Stiers a leading pair of aces. Loose held the only heart, and could still win the hand with a ten or heart on the river, but the 
bricked off, ending his tournament.
Loose was initially upset at the bust out, but then he realized the improbability of his run today, and perked up.
