Start-of-the-Day Chip Leader Eliminated
Level 21
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Justin Wainscott began the day as out chip leader by a decent margin; however, that doesn't always translate to success as he found out today. Wainscott lost a good portion of his stack after his failed to overcome the of an opponent.
Losing that hand knocked him back down to size, which is when Danny Alvarez swooped in and finished Wainscott off. It happened when for players took a flop and Wainscott checked from the small blind. He ultimately ended up check-raising all in for around 170,000 and was called by the of Alvarez. He got it in good, but a on the river sent a disappointed Wainscott out in 34th place; meanwhile, Alvarez took the chip lead with 950,000.
