James Patterson was short-stacked and all in with just 60,000 in the small blind in a multi-way pot.

Patterson had hopes of running his stack back up, but fell short when his A♥2♦ fell to Alan Gendelman's 8♦7♠ on a board that read 6♠3♦7♥K♣J♦.

Gendelman's pair of sevens ended Patterson's impressive tournament run.
