Event 21: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Comes to an End Today
![[user198174]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome back to the final day of Event 21: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em, where seventeen players will play down to one ultimate winner.
Jamie Armstrong comes into the day with 1,434,000, and claims the chip lead going into the day. Yesterday saw Armstrong acquire and maintain chips throughout the entirety of day two. Behind Armstrong awaits Noah Vaillancourt with 1,212,000 who spent his day two playing a little unorthodox and reaping the benefits because of it.
Coming to the day in third is Eric Baldwin with 887,000, who just consistently played well yesterday. Baldwin is no stranger to deep runs in high stakes tournaments and looks to make a great run here on day two.
Seventeen players will be coming in today, and only one will be leaving with the first place crown. Action is set to take off at 1:00 PST, stay tuned to PokerNews for all the updates.

Smith Plays Back at Vaillancourt
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Dan Smith opened for 33,000 and Noah Vaillancourt made it 71,000 behind him. Hok-Leung Wong took a long while to fold his big blind but then Smith moved all in. Vaillancourt snap-asked, "How much?"
The dealer counted down Smith's stack and it was 372,000 total. Vaillancourt reached into his backpack, grabbed some gum and then folded his hand.
William Fichman Eliminated in 17th Place ($15,744)
William Fichman started a recent hand out by opening for 50,000. Action folded around to Jonathan Poche who moved all in for around 400,000. The action then came around to the short stacked Randy Green on the button who called and was all in for 70,000. Finchman also made the call and was at risk.
Poche: 
Fichman: 
Green: 
After a 
flop was unleashed on the felt it was realized that no one was safe, and anyone could come away from this pot a winner. If Poche could hold he would deliver the double knock out, and we would be 15 handed. A 
on the river helped no one, but the 
on the river gave Green the straight and he was allowed to tripple up. Poche also managed to get a piece of the pot, and took the remainder of Fichman's stack as his pair of kings were still better than a pair of queens.
Fichman heads to the rail and is our 17th place finisher.
