Poker celebrity Tony Dunst, after crushing the tournament for the last few levels of Day 2 and all through Day 3, went out in a two-act elimination, proving that he’s human after all. Alex Ding took half his stack after hitting one of two outs – he needed to hit a set of fives after Dunst had hit a pair in a showdown – then went one to win a coin flip with ace-king against queens.
Luckily for Dunst, these events happened after he had secured a $124,769 payout through ICM chop. We wish him all the best in the Main Event. Congratulations on your deep run!
