Event 14 (Day 2): Hart Gives Max Effort, But Falls Just Short...Main Event ITM

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)
Level 19 (Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 482
Players Remaining: 45
Chip Average: 321

Scott Hart (Parkland, FL) started the day with 17,000 in chips, managed to navigate his way to the money bubble, never getting above 10-12 big blinds.  He continued to grind his short stack as hand-for-hand play began, even getting a fold from James Salmon after he shoved for 27,000, with Salmon having 8,000 out for the big blind.  While Salmon's decision to fold became the topic of conversation at other tables, hand-for-hand continued on.  Hart had a few chances to sneak into the money, but on two separate occasions, the smaller stack doubled up.

After Rob Salaburu opened from the button to 18,000, Scott Hart tossed in his final 13,000.  TJ Shulman, who was next to act in the big blind, announced that he was all-in (for close to 300,000).  Salaburu quickly folded, and the hands would be tabled:

Hart: A Q
Shulman: K♣ K♠

Runout: 4 9♠ 87♠ Q♠

Hart couldn't find help in the runout to grab the lead away from Shulman, and he'd end up exiting the field just one spot short of the money.  The clock has resumed is regularly scheduled movement, and everyone in the field is guaranteed $3,254.
