MSPT Hall of Famer is the King

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Rich Alsup
Rich Alsup

MSPT Hall of Famer Rich Alsup got his last 51,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Ricardo Eyzaguirre.

Ricardo Eyzaguirre: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Rich Alsup: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Alsup was ahead and took a hammerlock on the hand when the {6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop delivered him a set. The {a-Hearts} turn left Eyzaguirre drawing dead and Alsup shipped the double after the meaningless {q-Clubs} was run out on the river.

Mike Cordell Bubbles MSPT Grand Falls

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded around to Mike Cordell in the small blind and he moved all in for his last 80,000, which Blake Whittington called from the big.

Mike Cordell: {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Blake Whittington: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Cordell had a kicker problem and it didn't get resolved as the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{a-Hearts} to send him out as the bubble boy in 55th place.

With that, the top 54 players are guaranteed a payday of $2,254.
