Randall Pace - 18th place

After a series of bets and raises, Randall Pace and Brad Albrinck were both all in and at risk against Sean "brtnboarder" Szurko. Ironically, Pace and Szurko had the same hand, and Albrinck had them both dominated.

Szurko: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Albrinck: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The jacks held as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and Albrinck more than doubled to 2.6 million chips.

Pace is eliminating in 18th place, earning $21,335, and Szurko's stack dipped to 1.525 million chips.

Albrinck Lays Down Ace-King Preflop

Action folded to Sean Szurko in middle position, and he opened with a raise to 60,000. Brad Albrinck flat-called the raise in the hijack position, and then James Henson reraised to 185,000 from the cutoff seat. After action folded back to Szurko, he gave it up, and play moved back to Albrinck.

Albrinck took a few moments, then reraised to 525,000. Henson wasted almost no time in announcing that he was all in, and Albrinck was faced with a big decision as he had just over 1.1 million behind.

Albrinck tanked for several minutes, but then laid down the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} face up on the table. Henson didn't show and casually scooped in the pot.
