James Plate (Oakdale, NY) - 6th Place ($7,200)

James Plate (Oakdale, NY) was the chip leader for most of the early stages of Day 2, but watched as the field caught up to him just before dinner.  He'd have an up and down return from that break, actually finding himself all-in at risk a handful of times at the day turned to night.  Plate came to the final table 5 of 10 in chips, but once again watched as the action surrounded him.  Moments ago, James shoved from early position for (7) big blinds, and was called by Evan Braunstein, who had Plate in bad shape.  Braunstein's 9♥ 9♣ would hold against Plate's 4♥ 4♦, and James would exit the tournament in 6th place ($7,200).
