"February $50,000" (Day 2): Craig Stein Eliminated By Speranza In 9th Place ($1,240)

"February $50,000"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 21 (Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000)
Total Entries: 216
Players Remaining: 8


Craig Stein's (Dillwyn, VA) last three recorded cashes came during WSOP Circuit events at Palm Beach Kennel Club, with this his first Isle Poker cash since 2015.

Craig Stein (Dillwyn, VA) just became the second short stack eliminated by Jonathan Speranza, who is now the final table chip leader.  Stein was all-in pre (for just over 160,000), and ended up getting called by Speranza, who had him dominated:

Stein: A J♠
Speranza: A♠ Q

Runout: Q♣ 5♣ 8 3♠ K♣

Stein stood from his seat when the hands were tabled, seemingly accepting defeat, which ended up seeming sure after the queen-high flop.  "All the people I enjoy playing with are getting knocked out...I didn't want to be the one to knock him out," Speranza said aloud, as he collected Stein's remaining chips.
