Isle Poker Classic Event #8 (Day 2): Unfortunate River Sees Jaime Wiegrefe Eliminated In 9th Place ($5,543)

2018 Isle Poker Classic (Event #7)
$1,100 No Limit Hold'em Main Event
$200,000 GTD
Level 21 (Blinds 8,000/16,000/16,000)
Total Event #7 Entries: 244
Players Remaining: 8

Jaime Wiegrefe (Miami, FL) experienced the ugly side of variance, as he was one card away from doubling, but watched Jeff Trudeau his a two-outer to steal the pot away.

There was a collective reaction from the final table (and the growing rail), and looking over, Jaime Wiegrefe (Miami, FL) would be pushing his chips towards the middle.  They were not being counted down by the dealer, yet shipped over the way of Jeff Trudeau.  The two players got it all-in pre-flop, with Wiegrefe at risk:

Wiegrefe: K♠ K
Trudeau: Q♠ Q

Runout: J 9 6♣ 9 Q♣

Jaime was just one card away from eclipsing the million-chip mark, but couldn't fade the two-outer.  He'd exit the table in 9th place, collecting $5,543 for his efforts.
