Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 11th Place - Strong ($4,608)

Level 28 (Blinds 40,000/80,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 10
Chip Average: 5,544,000

Bill Strong (Wayne, PA)

After Scott Blackman opened the pot for a raise, action would fold around to Bill Strong in the big blind.  Strong would three-bet shove from the big blind and Blackman would make the quick call:

Strong: K♦ J♥
Blackman: K♣ K♠

Flop: 5♥ 7♦ 3♣
Turn: 4♠
River: 9♣

Strong would find himself in about as bad a spot as could be, and the runout would bring little help.  With Strong's elimination, the tournament has reached it's final table.  Players have agreed to go on dinner now, with 20:00 remaining in Level 28.  Players will find their new seats once they return from break, and the seating arrangement/chip counts will be posted then.
