Don Zewin Eliminated in 15th Place ($8,451)
Hold'em
On a board with David Steicke in the big blind and Don Zewin in the cutoff, it was Steicke who checked. Zewin bet 40,000, Steicke check-raised to 80,000, and Zewin wanted to move all in for 10,000 more. However, the dealer ruled it a string raise and Zewin was left with 10,000 behind.
Steicke opted to check on the river and Zewin quickly checked behind. Steicke showed for a pair of kings and Zewin mucked face up.
Zewin had half a big blind left and tried to make a comeback with it. After winnings two hands in a row, Zewin was up to 70,000 again. In the next hand, Ryan Hughes raised from under the gun, Zewin three-bet, and Hughes got the rest in.
Hughes:
Zewin:
Zewin wasn't able to complete the miracle escape when the board ran out . He finished in 15th place and received $8,451.
