Friedl Out in Front with 7 Left in $4K NLH Big Bounty
Lei Yu got it all in preflop for just over six big blinds but couldn't win a flip with A♦Q♣ against the 6♥6♦ of Siegfried Friedl. With that elimination, just seven players remain, all chasing the $41,000 first-place prize and the additional bounties still in play.
