Big Stax 500 (Day 2): Briggs Busts Duong

Level 18 (Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 775
Players Remaining: 105

Michael Briggs (Hamilton, NJ)
About (10) minutes had elapsed off the clock in Level 18 when we approached Table 49, with Jack Duong (South Plainfield, NJ) opening the pot to 20,000.  Action folded to Michael Briggs in late position, who three-bet to 55,000.  The blinds folded and action would be back on Duong, who thought for a while before announcing all-in (169,000).  Briggs verbalized a call and the hands were tabled:

Briggs: A K
Duong: 9 9

Runout: 2 A♣ 3 5♣ J♠

Duong would be eliminated from Day 2 play, with Briggs scooping up the pot and eclipsing the 430,000 mark.  The field is just over (30) away from the money, with short stacks trying to navigate their way to that point.
