Adam Friedman Eliminated in Sixth Place ($52,613) Razz Adam Friedman posted the bring-in and Tom Schneider called. Benjamin Scholl completed and Friedman raised all in for 33,000. Both opponents called and Schneider continued the aggression. He bet on both fourth and fifth street. Scholl called on fourth but folded on fifth. And then it was down to two players. Schneider made a 9-8 low and it was more than enough to top the unfortunate (8-3) K-8-10-10 (9) dealt to Friedman on his final hand of the tournament. Schneider held close to 900,000 after the hand and Friedman was eliminated in sixth place. Player Tags: Tom Schneider, Adam Friedman, Benjamin Scholl |

Level 28 came and went without any real significant action or big change in the chip counts as both players were relatively even heading into Level 29 with about 13 big bets each. With the betting limits so high, small pots became more significant and it didn’t take much to see a big swing in the chip counts. Brunson scooped a pot off of Friedman in a hand that went to a showdown at the beginning of Level 29 that put Brunson out in front with a more than 2:1 chip lead. Brunson brought in the 9 Brunson: 9 Friedman bet 60,000 with ace-high on fourth street and Brunson called. Friedman paired sixes on fifth street and bet 120,000. Brunson called the bet and both players checked on sixth street and the river. Brunson made two pair on seventh street to scoop the pot and take a sizable chip lead over Friedman with about 2.2 million to 900,000. Friedman Touches the Lead

Friedman brought in the 2 Friedman: 2 Friedman checked queen-high on fourth street, Brunson bet 60,000, Friedman raised to 120,000 and Brunson called the check-raise. Brunson bet 120,000 on fifth street with ace-high, Friedman raised to 240,000 and Brunson called. Brunson bet 120,000 on sixth street and Friedman called. Brunson checked the river, Friedman bet 120,000 and Brunson called. Friedman made two pair and Brunson missed the low draw. Friedman scooped the pot and took the chip lead for himself that hand with about 1.7 million to Brunson’s 1.5 million.

Aaron Steury Wins Event #17 ($289,283)Jun 13, '11 Michael Chow Eliminated in 2nd Place ($178,691) Aaron Steury started Level 29 with a dominating chip lead once again, continuing to put the pressure on his opponents. Adam Friedman was the next to go in 3rd place ($121,437) about halfway through the level, and although it was runner-up Michael Chow that busted Friedman and took his chips into heads-up play, it was too little too late as Steury already had the stranglehold at that point with a chip lead of 3.5 million to Chow’s 835,000. With help from the suffocating blind structure and an average stack of only 18 big bets, Chow’s 7 hardly stood a chance. Chow finally got it all in with a wired pair of jacks but was behind Steury’s split aces on third street. Chow: J Both players failed to improve and Michael Chow was eliminated in 2nd place ($178,691). Aaron Steury earned his amazing fifth knockout of this final table, capturing the gold bracelet and the $289,283 grand prize for winning Event #17.

Aaron Steury – 2,400,000 Aaron Steury Continues to Dominate With Aggressive Style Aaron Steury has been running good ever since he busted David Baker with quads in 7th place during Level 25. The next level he busted Denis Ethier in 6th and Ron Ware in 5th. The stakes went up again one more time in Level 27 and that’s where Steury busted Jonathan Tamayo in 4th place. Steury started Level 28 with a slight chip edge over his opponents, but with an average stack of only fourteen big bets, each and every hand became that much more important. Michael Chow made a run at the big stack after scooping a big pot from Steury with a flush-high and a six-low. This hand brought the two very close in chips while Friedman started chip to away with the choking blinds. Steury made a big call with queen-high when Friedman bet down the board with a missed draw, putting even further distance between himself and his opponents. Steury ended the level with a chip lead, and his aggressive style combined with the strangling blinds is sure to force the action very soon.
