Jamie Kerstetter Eliminated in 2nd Place ($114,479)
Jamie Kerstetter was able to pick up a few pots on the short stack, but was again down to 3,600,000 for a five-to-one chip deficit on her final hand.
Kerstetter limped on the button and Shiina Okamoto checked her option.
The flop came 10♠A♣9♦. Okamoto check-called a bet of 200,000 chips by Kerstetter.
The turn was the 5♥. Okamoto checked again and Kerstetter bet 550,000. Okamoto took a moment and then went all in. Kerstetter fairly quickly called.
Jamie Kerstetter: A♦7♥
Shiina Okamoto: 9♠5♦
Kerstetter limped with an ace and flopped top pair, while Okamoto flopped bottom pair and turned two. Kerstetter could still improve to better two pair or trips on some rivers, but it was not meant to be, as the 2♥ rolled off instead, ending her impressive deep run in the tournament in second place.
