Down and Back Up for Daniels

Pavel Plesuv raised for Jake Daniels to tank while glancing up to the clock before opting to shove which Plesuv quickly called.

Jake Daniels:
Pavel Plesuv:

The board ran out for Plesuv to turn the pair of queens to eliminate Daniels.

"I just lost so much money!" he said with some despair in his voice. "I had a side bet for 50k, I needed 29th!"

The floor came over to hand him his payout ticket and then he saw he got 29th place. He jumped in the air to celebrate and then explained to some of the players that he needed 29th place as he had a $50k bet that he would reach the $3 million mark by the end of the series and that 29th place would get him to $3.1 million." He smiled and seemed giddy.

"Never seen a guy that happy after busting," a player commented.
