Event 15: Stephen Pinta Eliminated In 5th Place ($14,320)

$2,200 Six-Max No Limit Hold’em (Freezeout)
Level 17: 2,000/4,000/500 Ante

Stephen Pinta had been reduced to one move against this field: going all-in.   And he finally did it at the wrong time.

Pinta pushed his stack and Shannon Shorr made a quick call.  After the rest of the table folded, Pinta flipped up TsTd but Shorr was waiting with AhAs.  Pinta got no help and was knocked out in 5th place for $14,320 and ton of respect hanging on against a superstar-laden field.

His elimination now leaves an all pro group of Jason Mercier, Darryll Fish, Matt Stout and Shannon Shorr playing for this Event 15 title and $53,920.
