Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Michigan player Eugene Truxall has been nursing a short stack all day long. Likewise, he was short pretty much his entire Day 1 flight. That makes the fact he was able to survive so long impressive; however, his run just came to an end in 26th place.

Meanwhile, Gary Farhat has also been eliminated from the tournament.
