What we thought would happen ten hours ago has finally come to fruition. "Big" Jim Pechac has just been eliminated from the tournament in third place. On the hand prior, he was crippled in a pot against Andrew Brown. He was left with 120,000, and he busted on the following hand:

Ted Forrest folded on the button, and Andrew Brown raised from the small blind. Pechac reraised from the big blind, putting himself all in and at risk against Brown. The hands were tuned over:

Brown: {J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Spades}
Pechac: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}

The board frowned on Jim Pechac, as it ran out {K-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {5-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}, giving Brown the winning two pair, and sending Pechac home.

We sure had a blast watching Big Jim carve his way through the field today. Instead of $8,554 that he was expected to cash, his stamina has earned him a nice $88,065 payday, certainly something to be proud of.
