Chris Sparks Eliminated in 19th Place ($17,753)

19th Place - Chris Sparks
19th Place - Chris Sparks
Chris Sparks' buddies had planned to fly home this morning but changed their flight to rail their man. That probably wasn't the best decision as he's our first player out today.

He pushed once and managed to pick up the blinds and antes but when he pushed the next hand he was cold called by David Lerman on the button with {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. Off to the races as Sparks had {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}.

"Oh, that's the worst hand for me to race against I never win a race against sevens" was the cry from Lerman just before the board came down {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} to emphatically bust that notion.
