Event 1 (Day 2): 6th Place - Lightner ($5,094)

Event 1 ($150 Monster Stack NLH)
Level 36 (Blinds 175,000/300,000/40,000)
Total Entries: 1,142
Players Remaining: 5
Chip Average: 5,700,000 (18 BB)


Maurice Lightner (Philadelphia, PA) 6th Place - $5,094

With the blind:stack ratio what it is, the fact that any player finds themselves short in a blink of an eye shouldn't come as much of a surprise.  Maurice Lightner (Philadelphia, PA) shoved ten bigs under-the-gun, and was called by Washington Gavilanis, who was in the small blind:

Lightner: J 10                  Gavilanis: A♠ A♣

Flop: 2 10♠ 9
Turn: 7
River: 4♣

Lightner flopped great for his hand without taking the lead, and turned even more outs, but it was "too many outs" in the end (like the kids say).

There was talk over an even chop that lasted for about five minutes after the hand, but no agreement was made, and the players decided to play on.
