Last Year's Third-Place Finisher Eliminated
Jake Balsiger, who finished third in this very event last year, began the day on a short stack of 35,400. The former World Series of Poker October Niner managed to run that up to a formidable stack, but his comeback came crashing down courtesy of Singapore's Don Mishra.
There was around 90,000 already in the pot and a board reading 
when a back-and-forth raising war resulted in Balsiger getting his last 100,000 or so all in and being called by Mishra.

Balsiger: 
Balsiger held top pair top kicker, but he was drawing dead as Mishra had flopped a set. The meaningless 
was put out on the river for good measure, and Balsiger wished the table luck before taking his leave. There will be no back-to-back cashes for Jakey.
Meanwhile, Quoc Nguyen was also eliminated from the tournament.
