Kuperschmid Hits the Last Ten to Bring the Field Down to Two Tables

Level 16 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

RJ Pinkham raised to 32,000 in the cutoff before the button moved all in for 149,000. Jason Kuperschmid called in the small blind, while Pinkham got out of the way.

All-In Player: A10 All in
Jason Kuperschmid: 1010

"How many times do you want to run it?" the at-risk player joked with Kuperschmid going to the flop. "I have one of your outs," he added, pointing to his ten.

The flop came J98, while Kuperschmid hit a set on the 10 turn. "So much for one of your outs," the button said as the 8 river improved Kupershmid to a full house to earn him the knockout.

With 18 players remaining, the field is drawing for seats at the final two tables.
