CPPT Main Event (Day 3): Zachary Mullennix Runs Into A Cooler, Departs In 7th Place ($10,183)

2018 Card Player Poker Tour (Isle Casino Pompano Park)
Event #8 | $1,100 No Limit Hold'em ($250,000 GTD)
Level 24 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/30,000)
Total Event #8 Entries: 310
Event #8 Players Remaining: 7


Zachary Mullennix (Pittsburgh, PA) would normally be in good shape turning aces-up in an all-in spot, but found himself drawing dead moments ago.

With just six minutes remaining in Level 24, Ernest Bush opened the action from under-the-gun, with a raise to 75,000.  Gautam Lillaney was next to act, and he would slide his stack in front of his cards, going all-in for 375,000.  Zachary Mullennix (Pittsburgh, PA) sat still with the action on him, taking a look up at the clock, before announcing that he was all-in as well (for 435,000).  The rest of the players folded behind, including the original raiser (Ernest Bush):

Lillaney: A A♠
Mullennix: A K

Runout: A♣ 10 3♣ K 7

Zachary quickly tabled his hand, but would see the bad news, as Gautam had him in very rough shape.  Even though Lillaney flopped top set, Zachary still had running broadway outs, but was drawing dead on the turn.  Zachary was then eliminated on the last hand of Level 24, as he couldn't triple his 60,000 chip stack.  Mullennix earned $10,183 for his 7th place finish, which is his largest score since May.
