Youngest Player in the Field is Youngest Player to be Eliminated

Maybe it wasn't such a great 21st birthday after all. Andrew Schoepfer, the player who turned 21 today, is out of the Main Event. His last 3,000 chips went in the middle while he was holding {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. James McBeth, whose 40th birthday is today, called with {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, and it was off to the races. Schoepfer didn't improve, proving once again that experience always triumphs over youth. We imagine he'll spend the rest of his birthday drunk and surrounded by naked strippers (and being carded everywhere he goes).
