End of the Night for Copperthite

After slogging his guts out for the last two days, Arthur Copperthite's tournament has come to an abrupt and unfortunate end courtesy of chip leader Mihai Manole. With Copperthite raising it up to 23,000 from early position, Manole made it 73,000 from the button. Copperthite shoved for 250,000, only to be snap-called by Manole who held {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Copperthite had slipped down a Manole with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

Despite changing his religion to poker and praying to the Poker Gods with all the will he could muster, his pleas fell on stony ground, the board coming a bleak {Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Spades} to desaddle the cowboys and send Copperthite home.

Meanwhile, Manole has extended his chip lead to a whopping 950,000.
