When the tournament fell to 2 tables, Jordan saw a large portion of his stack get shifted to his table-opponent Paul El-Khouri, after a raising war occurred between the two players pre-flop. When all was said and done, both players tabled their hands, and Paul had a huge lead with
over the
of Jordan. The board brought no change to the hand, and Jordan had to pay out 147,500 in the hand, leaving him with just a few blinds behind.
Fast forward a few hands, and with a small ace in his hands, Jordan decided to move-in in an unopened pot, finding a call from Benny Chen in the big blind.

Jordan couldn’t catch-up to Benny’s pair, and was eliminated on the bubble of this Second Chance Event.
Congratulations to the 15 players who are now in the money!
