James Slater, who won event 2: $150 no-limit hold’em $15,000 guarantee for over $3,600, has been nursing somewhat of a short stack for quite some time now. In a recent hand, Slater’s stack slimmed down a little more.
The player in the hijack seat raised to 2,200 and Slater called from the button. Jessie Jaurigue called from the big blind and the three saw a flop of A108. Action checked around to Slater and he bet 3,000. Jaurigue folded and the hijack called to see the Q on the turn. The two players checked through the river of 8 and the hijack showed two red queens. Slater mucked his hand.
