Tillotson Takes 33rd
Level 18
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Well, it was quite a grind for Kody Tillotson on the short stack, and he eventually had to hold on tight and hope to squeak into the money. He somehow managed that, though he was left with less than 10,000 with which to try and mount a comeback.
On his final hand, the table folded around to the blinds, and David Clark made the covering raise. Tillotson only had 8,500 left, and he had no choice now but to call with 
. Clark's 
wasn't much better, but it was good enough to put Tillotson on the ropes.
The board ran out 
, and trips give the knockout to Clark. We've found our first in-the-money finisher, and it's Kody Tillotson at the front of the payout line.
