Some Big Names Go Down
Jun 08, '07
We are down to 6 Tables now in the short handed Event. 31 players remain, some notable, most not.
During the last level, Rep Porter, "Miami" John Cernuto, Matt "SamENole" Smith, Eric "Sheets" Haber, Carl Olson and Erik Seidel were eliminated.
Seidel bet $7,500 on a flop of Q
10
6
into Matt Brady. Brady reraised to $20,500. Perhaps Seidel believed Brady was bullying him with the big stack at the table because he decided to reraised all-in for an additional $25,000 or so. Brady instacalled and tabled Q
10
for top two pair. Seidel was in trouble with 10
8
. The turn and river came J
A
and Erik Seidel was eliminated in 40th for $5,844.
Haber was eliminated by Jason Warner when Warner's pocket Aces held against Haber's Open Ended Straight Draw with J 8 on a 10 9 5 board. Haber was eliminated in 37th place for $5,844.
Still in contention for the bracelet are big stacks Jason Warner, Alex Balandin, J.C. Tran and Matt Brady. Also in contention is Joe Awada, Fred Goldberg and Matt "Choppy" Kay.
