Mike Patrick

Level 17

Shaun Deeb: /
Eric Kurtzman: / - folded fifth street
Chris Tryba: / - folded fourth street
Daniel Zack: / - folded fourth street

While Daniel Zack and Brandon Shack-Harris have managed to chip up since being bubble short stacks and PJ Cha has maintained a healthy stack, the majority of action at Table 144 has come from Shaun Deeb and Eric Kurtzman who have battled multiple times since the bubble burst.

Recently, after Zack brought in, Tryba completed and was called by Kurtzman, Deeb, and Zack.

On fourth street, Tryba had the betting lead and checked, prompting a bet from Kurtzman and a raise from Deeb. Zack and Tryba then folded, leaving play heads-up.

Kurtzman then checked fifth street to Deeb, who fired out a bet and Kurtzman opted to release his hand, saving chips for their next battle.

Level 17

Long Tran:
Perry Friedman:

Long Tran completed before he and Perry Friedman got it all in for just under four bets and cards were turned over.

Friedman had four clubs and king high, which was ahead all the way through sixth street.

"Just tell me if I need to improve," said Friedman as seventh was dealt.

"I've got a low," said Tran as he revealed the ace.

"And ace high," noted Friedman, who was now behind and looking at his final card.

He found no help on seventh and was eliminated.

Level 17

Steven Loube://
Daniel Negreanu: // - folded seventh street
Chad Eveslage: /

Action started on sixth street with Steven Loube moving all in for his last 14,000 chips. Daniel Negreanu made the call, but Chad Eveslage put the full big bet of 30,000 in. Negreanu called.

On seventh, Negreanu checked and Loube bet again. Negreanu thought for a bit and folded.

"I have a flush," announced Eveslage.

That was no good, though, as Loube showed his full house for the scoop.

Chris Tryba, Eric Kurtzman, and Peter Gelencser all got four bets in on third street and Gelencser ended up all in.

Kurtzman hit another low card on fifth and bet again, Kurtzman came along again.

On sixth, Kurtzman hit a fourth low card and bet again while Tryba saw a brick and let it go.

Cards on their backs, seventh was dealt to Kurtzman first who flipped a heart for a flush that left Gelencser drawing dead and he was eliminated.

Level 16

Dominik Baud: //
Eric Kurtzman: //

Heads up to fourth street between short-stacked Dominik Baud and Eric Kurtzman, Baud bet and was called by Kurtzman.

On fifth street, Baud bet again and was raised by Kurtzman. Baud then commited the rest of his chips and was happily called by Kurtzman, who showed trip jacks, while Baud just had a pair of fours and a low draw.

Kurtzman filled up on sixth, leaving Baud needing to make a low, but his nine-king runout ended his tournament short of the money, finally breaking a nearly two-hour bubble and guaranteeing the remaining players $16,358.
