Stephen Deutsch is the latest player to take his leave from the WPT Main Event’s Day 3 action. His last hand occurred when he found himself up against Kristen Bicknell, betting it all on pocket fours.

Stephen was short-stacked and Kristen had him covered by a mile, so she called. Her king-ten paired up immediately, as the board came down . Stephen couldn’t sail his way to victory, and earns $19,000 for his 22nd place finish, the third player to earn that level of payout.

The other two players to earn $19,000, finishing in 23rd and 24th place respectively, were Donald Maloney and  James Romero. Congratulations to all three for such a deep run in the WPT Main Event.

Note: A fourth player earned himself $19,000 while this post was being written, Jonathan Roy. He finished in 21st place. Places 16 through 20 will all earn a prize of $23,000.
