Seidel, Amaral Out; 52 Remain

Level 15

We are fast approaching the money bubble, with the short stacks starting to eye the big board as the "Players" number decreases. Just 52 remain, meaning with four more eliminations they'll be in the money.

Stud 8

Erik Seidel had been nursing a short stack for some time before finally busting. Christopher Amaral followed him to the rail shortly thereafter.

In Amaral's final hand, he was all in with one card to come with {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{J-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} versus Ben Yu's {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Yu picked up the {2-Spades} on the end, and so still had queens up. Amaral needed to pair up or hit the last ace, but whatever he received on seventh didn't help him and he tossed his cards dealerward.
