Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): 7th Place - Bryan ($16,638)

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 6

Tim Bryan (Atlanta, GA)
7th Place - $16,638

Tim Bryan was the shortest stack at the table with less than fifteen bigs, and the action would fold around to him in the small blind.  He would put out a stack of yellow chips (325,000), and the action would be to John Botticello (second shortest in chips).  John would announce himself all-in, and Tim would actually take a few moments before putting in his final 190,000.  The two hands would be tabled:

Bryan: A♥ 9♥           Botticello: 8♥ 8♣

Flop: Q♥ 4♦ 3♠

Turn: 10♥

River: 3♦

Botticello would win the race and his pocket eights would hold up.  Botticello would chip up to 1,450,000 with the win, and now has over 30 bigs.
