"Shhh, don't tell 'em," joked back Shulman.

The action folded around to the blinds where William Foster open-shoved to put the pressure on Aram Zerounian. The big blind found 
and made the call for his tournament life, but his ace was dominated. Foster had the barely covering stack, and his 
had him poised for the knockout.
The dealer had other ideas, though. The flop came 
to breathe some life into Zerounian, and he filled in his flush on the turn. Foster still had outs to fill up, but the river gave Zerounian the double. When he paid off his debt, Foster was left with just 10,000 lonely chips.
He was all in for 8,000 on the next hand, and Ismael Bojang got heads-up with him after a 
flop. Bojang's 
was trailing the 
of Foster. But the bad run continued for the at-risk player as the 
on the turn pretty much ended his day. He couldn't find a jack on the river, and he's out in 17th place.
