David Snitkin stopped by our table to tell us his tale of elimination. According to him, an under-the-gun player shipped his stack with and action folded to Snitkin in the small blind. He peered down at and made the easy call. The two players were dead even in chips, meaning one would be eliminated while the other would jump up to the chip average.
Unfortunately for Snitkin, a jack on the river would put an end to his Main Event in 132nd place.

Bryan Dillon opened for 40,000 and the player in the small blind shoved for 140,000 more. Dylan called and the hands were tabled.
Dillon:
Small Blind:
The board ran and Dillon moved to within shouting distance of one million chips.
Action folded to Eric Crain in the cutoff and he put in a raise, which ended up being three-bet all in by the big blind, who had 120,000 total. Crain made the call and liked his position.
Showdown
Crain:
Big Blind:
While Crain was ahead preflop, the flop changed that. "I never win when I get it in good," Crain observed. Sure enough, the turn and river saw the pot shipped to his opponent. Crain is still healthy with 700K.

Earlier today we reported on Wisconsin poker player John Orr, who hit an early rush to vault toward the top of the chip counts. Unfortunately, Orr's heater came to an end and he fell card dead for about 3.5 hours. Before making his way to the payout desk, Orr told us he had shipped into pocket aces. He managed to hit a ten on flop, but his opponent also caught an ace.

Eric Crain raised to 18,000 from the hijack and was soon met with an all-in reraise to 130,000 by the player in the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Crain made the call.
Showdown
Crain:
Small Blind:
Crain was way ahead and looking to dodge a queen, which is exactly what he did as the board ran out . With that, Crain is over a million in chips.

Jenny Kim and Angela Valencia were the last two women standing. Unfortunately, the field got a whole lot less pretty with Kim and Valencia exiting in 101st and 100th place respectively.
