Vince Baldassano Eliminated in 14th Place ($9,500)

Vince Baldassano - 14th place
Vince Baldassano - 14th place

Vince Baldassano was down to just 13,000 after losing most of his stack in a hand versus John Chapman in which Baldassano's {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} failed to hold up versus Chapman's {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

He'd double up once through Coury Mascagni when Baldassano's {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} bested Mascagni's {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} after the board came {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{K-Spades} to give Baldassano a winning straight. But soon he'd be all in and at risk again, and this time Baldassano's Main Event run finally came to an end.

In that final hand, Michael Schoultz raised to 16,000 from the cutoff, then Baldassano reraised all in for 34,000 from the small blind. Chapman responded with an all-in shove of his own from the big blind, and Schoultz got out.

Baldassano: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Chapman: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The flop came {Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to give both players pairs, but Chapman the better one. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and river the {2-Diamonds}, and Baldassano is out.
