Joseph Michael Eliminated in 8th Place ($34,089)

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Joseph Michael
Joseph Michael

A series of small pots left Joseph Michael with a short stack of less than 100,000 chips and he got them all in on third street against Chris Vitch. Here's how their boards ran out:

Joseph Michael: {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}/{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{J-Clubs}/{J-Diamonds}
Chris Vitch: {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}/{K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}/{5-Clubs}

Vitch paired up on fourth street and that was enough to put Michael in the doghouse already. On sixth, Vitch made two pair while Michael still hadn't paired up. He could catch to complete a low for half the pot but seventh was the {J-Diamonds} for Michael. It didn't help him at all and he was eliminated from the tournament in 8th place.

For his run Michael will collect $34,089.
