Marcus Stein (Pembroke Pines, FL)

Marcus Stein (Pembroke Pines, FL) started the day off strong, with a double up from behind, but he couldn't manage to pull off the feat twice.  After players folded around to Stein in the cutoff, he shoved for just under 400,000.  Christian Rodriguez called out of the small blind, and was looking to eliminate a second player in the matter of (10) minutes:

Stein: Q♠ 9♣

Rodriguez: 9♥ 9♦

Board: 3♠ A♦ 4♠ 5♥ 3♣

Marcus was hoping to just get the shove through, and pick up the blinds and ante, but Christian happened to wake up to a call-able hand.  Stein now finds himself on the rail, as he sweats good friend Joshua Beckley.

Christian Rodriguez - 1,300,000

Marcus Stein - 16th Place ($5,206)
