"Standoff23" Eliminated in 2nd Place ($2,962)

"Standoff23"
"Standoff23"

In Level 24 with blinds of 12,000/24,000, "Standoff23" opened to 60,000 on the button and Chris “rumpthumper” White three-bet jammed for 500,000 effective. "Standoff23" called.

"Standoff23": {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Chris “rumpthumper” White: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

This was about the fifth time that White had three-bet shoved out of the big blind before receiving a call, and he found himself slightly ahead with a chance to win the tournament with his pocket fives. The board ran out {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, leaving him out in front to earn the victory as "Standoff23" was eliminated as the runner up of the tournament, earning $2,962 for their efforts.

A recap of the event will be posted shortly.
