in bad shape.

After Tuan Bui Le folded from under the gun, Joel Merwick folded from the next seat, but when he slid his cards in a little too much force was applied. His cards flew across the table and one of them came in contact with Kris Bradshaw's cards in the big blind. It was ruled that because his hand was hit by one of Merwick's cards, the hand was dead. Just to check, Bradshaw checked what he thought were his original cards and then tossed them in as a dead hand and forfeited his big blind.
Action then folded to Dean Schultz in the cutoff seat and he moved all in for about 110,000. Garrett Utt reraised all in from the button and the two went to a showdown.
Utt: 
Schultz: 
The board ran out 
and Schultz was eliminated in 15th place. The kicker? Well, Bradshaw said he would have had ace-king suited if his hand was live. If he did, he'd probably have doubled up after rivering a broadway straight.
From under the gun, Mike Foster raised to 35,000. Kevin Calenzo three-bet to 64,000 on the button and Foster came along to see a flop.
The flop came down 
and Foster check-folded to a bet of 52,000 from Calenzo.
From early position, Drazen Ilich raised to 29,000. In the next seat, Charles "Woody" Moore reraised all in. Everyone folded back to Ilich and he may have had enough of all the pressure Moore was putting on him and he made the call.
Ilich held the best of it with the , but was in a race situation against the for Moore.
The board ran out 
and Moore hit a queen to steal the hand and knock Ilich from the tournament. Ilich finished in 16th place and that's good for $5,081. Moore skied to over one million in chips and keeps using the big stack to his ability.
