Day 2a/b Chip Leader Eliminated

[user153638]

Nível 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Back on Day 2a/b, Tim Stansifer led the roughly 700 survivors with a chip stack 481,500. That allowed him to make a deep run in the Main Event, but it just came to an end here on Day 5.

It happened when Stansifer got his short stack of 130,000 or so all in preflop against Michael Palo.

Stansifer had a kicker issue, and while he paired it on the flop, Palo also paired his nine to maintain the lead. Neither the turn nor river helped Stansifer, and he took his leave in 289th place for $33,734.
