Start-of-the-Day Chip Leader Eliminated

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Justin Wainscott
Justin Wainscott

Justin Wainscott began the day as out chip leader by a decent margin; however, that doesn't always translate to success as he found out today. Wainscott lost a good portion of his stack after his {9-}{9-} failed to overcome the {A-}{A-} of an opponent.

Losing that hand knocked him back down to size, which is when Danny Alvarez swooped in and finished Wainscott off. It happened when for players took a {J-}{3-}{6-} flop and Wainscott checked {A-}{J-} from the small blind. He ultimately ended up check-raising all in for around 170,000 and was called by the {Q-}{J-} of Alvarez. He got it in good, but a {Q-} on the river sent a disappointed Wainscott out in 34th place; meanwhile, Alvarez took the chip lead with 950,000.
