So Long, Sam
"Hey, Sam. What's up buddy?"
"I just busted," he said, still grinning but continuing on to complete a little bust-out paperwork. Oops. On the way back, he filled us in on the hand that ended his day.
Chartier's been battling with a short stack for most of the event, and he finally shipped about 35,000 in preflop with ace-ten. He ran into two calls, one player with pocket kings and the other with two jacks. It was actually a great spot for Chartier to take a shot for a triple up, but he was unable to connect with the board, and unable to keep his tournament going.
