Chris Bjorin Eliminated in 2nd Place ($124,838)

It's all over. One hand after his crippling, Chris Bjorin has succumbed to Event #4.

With just 75,000 left after paying the ante, Bjorin went ahead and got it in on third street with the {J-Hearts}. Cory Zeidman was showing the {8-Diamonds}, but he was stronger than he looked.

"I have pocket kings," he announced.

"I'm in very bad shape," Bjorin acknowledged.

Zeidman: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} / {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {2-Spades} {7-Clubs} / (x)
Bjorin: {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} / {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {7-Spades} / (x)

By the time the last card rolled around, Zeidman's kings were still in front. Bjorin needed a nine to make his straight to stay alive. He went ahead and rolled his card over first. It was the {Q-Hearts}, a blank.

Zeidman threw his arms up in the air in celebration, and his river {2-Hearts} was irrelevant.

Two-time bracelet winner Chris Bjorin will have to wait for number three. He put on another fine performance here this week, but his run to the title has come up just one spot short.
