Brian Tate - 17th Place

Aside from 17th-place prize money, Brian Tate also won a bad beat story to tell his grandkids about. Pre-flop, Tate made it 20,000 to go from the cutoff and was called by Guido Lunardini in the big blind.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Lunardini open-shoved all in, having Tate covered. Tate made the call and turned over pocket aces; Lunardini tabled {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for two pair.

The turn and river came {J-Spades}, {2-Spades} and Lunardini's two pair would hold, eliminating Tate from the tournament in 17th place, worth $4,858 in prize money.
