James "jcamby33" Campbell

After a early position raise and a flat call by another opponent, James Campbell moved all in for around 50,000. The original raiser folded but the second player made the call.

Campbell had pocket tens but his opponent flipped up pocket kings and Campbell could not improve.

Campbell was eliminated from the tournament but will be back on Saturday to take part in the $1,100 Mega Stack Challenge Main Event.
