Players Championship is Over, Machado Wins

The day's short stack, John Daport, was the first player out, in 26th place, followed by Leslie Hartman in 25th Place.
A few hands later, over at Table 2, Sean Drake raises to 4500, Roger Bailey moves all in and Warlito Merafuentes undershoves for his 15,000-ish stack, and Drake makes the call.
Drake shows 33
Bailey shows 88
Merafuentes shows A♣Q♣
The board runs out J♥6♠9♥K♦6♣ and Bailey almost triples up.

With that elimination, Merafuentes finishes second in the Series Championship race, securing the win for Todd Machado.
Machado earns, among other prizes, one full year of free tournament entries at Turlock Poker Room, an estimated $14,000 value.
We'll have more from Todd and on the Series Championship later today.
