Silver Section Update: Justin Schwartz & Mario Puccini Out

Justin Schwartz has been eliminated from Table Twenty-One and now residing in his former seat is Cary Katz. As incredulous as it seems, only days ago Katz was paying $1 million to take his seat in Event #55: $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop and today he is paying $1,000. I guess that tells you a lot about the CEO of College Loan Corporation, the man has a lot of money and he loves his poker. Katz is currently sat on 3,400.

Mario Puccini has also been eliminated from the Silver Section and JJ Liu is another player who just put it all on the line in the strangest of pots. Liu raised to 300 in the cutoff (off a stack of 1,800) and the small blind called. The flop was {Q-Clubs} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and the small blind check-raised to 950 once Liu had made a standard c-bet. Liu moved all-in for 1,500 total and her opponent refused to put the additional 550 in the pot and folded his hand.
