$350 + $50 Seniors No Limit Hold'em

Jim McLaughin - 11th Place - $951

Slow playing aces catches up to Jim McLaughlin who's one the rail in 11th place. "I wanted to keep people in the pot, but it didn't work out," says McLaughlin, who only min raised preflop.

The play keeps Dom Pelli in the hand from the big blind with J3, who flops two pairs as all the chips are in the middle. Pelli's hand holds and he doubles his 140k, while McLaughlin is down to less than 20k.

A few hands later Gary Brudner and his pocket 8s eliminates McLaughlin as the final 10 players are drawing for new seats at the final table
