"February $50,000 II" (Day 2): A Quick Final Table For Michael Corbett, Eliminated In 10th Place ($1,270)

"February $50,000 II"
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 27 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 552
Players Remaining: 9


Michael Corbett (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) only spent one hand at the final table, shoving from ahead, but finding an unkind runout.

Andre Rakusa would open the first hand at the final table, with action folding around to Evan Kahan, who was on the button.  After Evan chose to flat the raise, Michael Corbett shoved all-in from the small blind, for just over 600,000.  Rakusa released his hand after a few moments, with Kahan quickly making the call:

Corbett: A J♣
Kahan: K♠ Q♠

Runout: Q 8♣ 7♠ J 6

Corbett was ahead when the cards were tabled, but ended up being out flopped by Kahan.  While the turn gave Michael a pair, he still needed help on the river, which never amounted.  The published author departed the final table in tenth place, earning himself $1,270.
