The runner-up at last year's Aruba Poker Classic, Jim Mordue made another deep run this year but came up just short of making another final table. He was all-in with pocket Jacks against Steve Frasure's Ace-Queen, and the Queen on the flop left Jim in dire straits. A ten fell on the turn, giving him an open-ended straight draw, but the seven on the river gave Frasure the pot and sent Jim Mordue out in 20th place.
