Jeremiah Siegmund - Eliminated in 9th Place ($33,813)

With his short stack dwindling ante after ante, Jeremiah Siegmund decided to make his stand after watching Antonio Esfandiari open for 65,000. Siegmund pushed all-in for his last 315,000 holding the button and before The Magician could consider a call, Eric Baudry moved all-in as well. Baudry had Siegmund covered by about 75,000 or so, and Esfandiari quickly got out of the way.

Showdown:

Baudry: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Siegmund: {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}

While had found a pocket pair to work with, Siegmund was in bad shape against Baudry's overpair. The flop ran out {3-Spades} {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs} and Siegmund was down to a two-outer for his tournament life.

No help arrived on the turn of {10-Spades} and after the river fell {2-Hearts} , Siegmund was the first to be bounced from the final table arena. He will take home $33,813 for his run in this event, while Baudry gave himself some breathing room with the double-up.
