Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Santora Takes Bad Beat To Finish 19th ($3,493)

Level 26 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 18
Chip Average: 3,200,000

Just as the hand with McKeehen/Zimmerman was finishing, everyone from Table 57 erupted.  Juan Valdez had limped with AJ and found himself in big trouble after he called Robert Santora's all-in after a 5 5 J flop.  Robert turned over 2 5 (flopped trips), and Valdez would only stay alive with running aces or a jack.  The turn brought a brick, so it would be a jack that Valdez would need on the river…and that's exactly what he got!  Juan hits his two outer on the river to eliminate Santora, and send the remaining 18 players to their new seats.
