Big Stax 500 (Day 1B): Joshi's Day Ends Abruptly

Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Day 1B Entries: 117

Michael McGuire (Mahwah, NJ)

Chetna Joshi was down to about half of the starting stack, and just put her remaining chips across the line against Michael McGuire as we passed Table 55.  The money got in on a flop of Q♥ 9♥ 8♦, with Chetna as risk:

Joshi: A♣ A♦
McGuire: J♦ 10♦

Turn: 10♥
River: 9♠

Joshi was going to need running cards to make a full house (or quads) in order to win the hand, but she'd be drawing dead by the time the river was being put out.  McGuire scooped up the pot worth close to 28,000, and it now above the starting stack with 47,000.
