Chris Larrea (Philadelphia, PA)

The departure of Chris Larrea (Philadelphia, PA) was swift, with the entire hand playing our before the media could arrive to the table.  The players at the table did recap the hand though, letting us know that Chris got it all-in pre with A♠ 4♣ against the Q♠ Q♣ of James Kaplan.

The pocket queens would hold, and James would chip up to 2,100,000, eliminating Larrea in the process.  Larrea's 16th place finish brings his career earnings over $25,000, and gives him his fourth career Big Stax cash.
