"February $50,000 II" (Day 2): Andre Rakusa Eliminated By Evan Kahan In 9th Place ($1,510)

"February $50,000 II"
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 28 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 552
Players Remaining: 8

Andre Rakusa (Coral Springs, FL) found a cold run of cards in the tournament's later stages, and ended up a big underdog when all his chips got in.

With the minutes winding down in Level 27, Evan Kahan opened the action from middle position, with a raise to 150,000.  Players folded around to Andre Rakusa (Coral Springs, FL), who was in the small blind, and three-bet shoved for 730,000.  Kahan would call when action returned to him, and would have Andre dominated:

Rakusa: 2 2 
Kahan: 7 7

Runout: J 10♠ 5 3 A

Rakusa needed to find some help in the runout, with both of his suits covered by the pocket sevens of Kahan.  There would be no miracle for Andre, who ended up departing the table in ninth place ($1,510).
