Big Stax 500 (Day 3): 19th Place - Ekshtut ($3,424)

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 18 
Chip Average: 1,812,000

Ilya Ekshtut (Holland, PA)
19th Place - $3,424

Ilya made no secret that he really wanted to defend his championship title in this event, and he was making a serious run for it.  He started the day with 920,000 and never really found any traction throughout the day.  His final hand found his A 2 < A 9 of Greg Himmelbrand on the 10 10 6 8 Q runout.

Players are now redrawing (with 18 remaining), and we will bring you the new seating assignments shortly.
