John Marino Eliminated in 7th Place ($28,501)
Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
John Marino entered Day 3 as one of the shorter stacks of the remaining players. He decided midway through Level 36 to put it in play out of the small blind following a raise from Shawn Smith, who was on the button.
Shortly after peeking at his cards, Marino announced an all-in bet, which Smith immediately called to put Marino at risk of elimination.
John Marino: 7♦7♠ 
Shawn Smith: 10♣10♥
Marino was behind and the situation didn't chance when the dealer fanned 8♣6♦2♣ on the flop. The dealer then placed 3♥ on the turn, followed by the 10♦ on the river to send Marino to the rail.
The $28,501 payout becomes Marino’s second-best tournament cash.
