Event 14 (Day 3): 17th Place - Pappas ($5,206)

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)
Level 23 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000)

John Pappas (Park Ridge, IL)

After losing most of his stack to Marcus Stein, John Pappas (Park Ridge, IL) would actually get two shoves through with his (8) big blind stack.  Although he was able to pick up blinds and antes, he was still super short, and shoved for just over 200,000 moments ago.  Christian Rodriguez made the call, and had Pappas in rough shape:

Pappas: A♣ J♠
Rodriguez: K♠ K♣

Board: Q♠ 9 J♣ Q 10♣

Pappas had a little extra hope after the flop, but the board pairing on the turn would make him an even bigger underdog, and Rodriguez making a straight on the river would end his Main Event run.

Christian Rodriguez - 970,000
John Pappas - 17th Place ($5,206)
