Ira Friedman was down to less than 10 big blinds when he moved all in over an open by Faraz Jaka. Jaka decided the price was right and called.

Ira Friedman: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Faraz Jaka: {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{a-Spades}{7-Spades}, which netted Friedman the much-needed double.

Marder Trips Up Peters

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

David Peters raised to 11,500 from under the gun and Michael Marder was next to act. Marder moved all in for 70,000 and it folded back to Peters who gave it quite a bit of thought before calling. Marder turned over {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} but was dominated by the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} of Peters.

There was a ten in the window for Marder to take the lead on the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop. The turn was the {10-Spades} improving Marder to trip tens, leaving Peters drawing dead. The meaningless {3-Spades} completed the board and Marder doubled up.

Ferguson Eliminates Steinman

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Chris Ferguson
Chris Ferguson

Chris Ferguson raised to 10,000 from early position and Ian Steinman moved all in for 74,500. It folded back to Ferguson who called and the cards were shown.

Chris Ferguson: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Ian Steinman: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

The dealer fanned the {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop and Ferguson flopped a full house to put a hammerlock on the hand. The turn was the {2-Spades} and the {7-Spades} hit the river. Ferguson's full house was best against the flush of Steinman and he was sent to the rail.

"Good job, by the way," Feguson said to Steinman regarding the runner-up finish to Eric Baldwin in the WSOP $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em (Event #37). Steinman thanked Ferguson for the compliment and made his way to the payout line.

One player checked and Bojang made it 36,000 to see the river card. The bet was called and the {4-Hearts} completed the board. This time both players checked and Bojang's top pair with {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} was good to take the chips.
