David McConachie (Out in 11th)
Event #3: $350 + $50 Saturday Series Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 26:
Blinds 25,000 / 50,000 / 5,000 Ante
Total Event 3 Entrants: 525
Event 3 Remaining Players: 10
Average Stack: 1,312,500
This one’s a heartbreaker. David McConachie is all in, and Mike Zhang goes into the tank awhile, having him more than covered. He calls with {Ac}{Kc} and David has {Ah}{As}.
The board runs out {Jd}{Js}{8c}{2c}{10c} and the runner-runner-runner clubs gives Zhang the nut flush and sends David out in 11th. We’re now redrawing for the unofficial final table of 10.

Matt Zimmerman would like to send a shout out to his wife Corina. It’s her birthday, and she’s on a girl’s night out, while he’s at the final two tables of this poker tournament. I think both spouses got what they wanted!
