Kim Stone
Main Event
Level 21: 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 23 of 500
On a flop of [9d][6h][5d], Paul Sampson leads out for 40,000 out of the small blind. Kim Stone moves all in for 281,000 out of the big blind and a player in middle position thinks for a few moments before folding.
Sampson takes a couple minutes of thought while cutting out a call and pulling it away from the rest of his stack. Eventually, Sampson calls and shows [Ad][9s]. He’s got to fade more than a couple cards against Stone’s [8d][2d].
The turn is the [Ah] and the river is the [Js]. Stone misses both her flush and straight draws to get sent home in 24th place and Sampson crosses the million chip threshold.
Paul Sampson – 1,050,000
Kim Stone – Eliminated
