Event 13 (Day 2): Harwood Finds Help, Then Loses Hope

Event 13 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Championship Event)
$500,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
Level 20 (Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000)
Total Entries: 466
Players Remaining: 20
Chip Average: 700,000

The stack sizes got very top heavy as we reached three tables, and we've seen a lot of the shorter stacks fail at doubling up.  Loni Harwood shoved UTG +2 for just over (10) big blinds, and was called by Bill Pilossoph, who was next to act.  While Paul Balzano asked for Pilossoph's exact count, he would end up folding, and it would be Harwood at risk:

Harwood: A 4♠
Pilossoph: J♠ J

Flop: A Q♠ 9♣
Turn: J♣
River: 3

It looked for a moment that Harwood would find her double, but the jack on the turn would lock things up for Pilossoph, and send Loni home in 21st place ($4,404).
