Event 10 (Day 2)
Allan Rosen (left) Elan Brana (Right)
The Super Stack Elevator Event drew a total of 290 entires and created a prize pool of over $140,000. Only two players were left standing in the early morning hours of the final day. Allen Rosen and Elan Branas battled heads up for hours until the stacks began to even out.
With both players very deep the two decided to make a heads up deal with both of them taking home $31,293 for their efforts. Rosen who held the chip at the time the agreement was made earns his first BPO trophy and his largest live tournament cash.

Steve Euashachai (Elmhurst, NY)
6th Place ($7,033)
Steve Euashachai shoved under-the-gun for ~450,000 and Chris Chatman looked him up from the button. Steve’s AQ was a slight favorite over Chris’ KJ, but when the first four board cards came 9 8 7 T, Chris made a Jack-high straight. Only a Jack on the river would help Steve, but it was a brick. Chris took the pot, chipping up to about 2 million.
Steve Euashachai finished in 6th place, earning $7,033. He was the chip leader at the start of Day 2.
