| Nancy Birnbaum (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) was able to navigate most of the day with a short stack, but couldn't come from behind to beat Nassin Vaknin. |
Nancy Birnbaum (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) had been one of the shorter stacks for most of the day, and with the blinds going up to 50,000/100,000, it was only a matter of time before her sub-ten big blind stack got in. After action folded to Nissin Vaknin (in the small blind), he would open for a raise, with Nancy three-bet shoving for just over 800,000. Vaknin made the call, putting Nancy at risk, with his A♠ 8♣ ahead of her K♠ J♣. The A♣ Q♠ 5♣ 9♠ 9♣ runout would be the last hand for Birnbaum in this main event, as she earns $25,852 for fifth place.
This is Nancy's largest tournament cash since January of last year, and helps bring her career earnings north of $735,000. She gracefully wished her opponents good luck as she left the table, and was greeted by a rail that had been supporting her all day.
