"February $50,000 II" (Day 2): Crazy Runout Sees Michael Plaxco Eliminated In 3rd Place ($6,800)

"February $50,000 II"
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 32 (Blinds 80,000/160,000/20,000)
Total Entries: 552
Players Remaining: 2


After having a rough WSOP Circuit at Coconut Creek, Michael Plaxco (Muscle Shoals, AL) got himself a little "saver" with this third place score.

With Mitchell Smith holding a majority of the chips, it looked like it may be a waiting game between Michael Plaxco and Eric Mutschler.  Plaxco ended up shoving just a few hands into three-handed play, and ended up getting called by Smith:

Plaxco: K 9♣
Smith: 3 3

Runout: J♣ 103♣ Q♣ Q♠

When the flop came out, one could only think that this was meant to be Smith's day...until the turn gave Plaxco the straight.  Everything seemed to return to normal for Smith, who watched the board pair, giving him the winning full house.
