Curtis Freeze Eliminated in 15th Plce ($17,844)
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
After a few hands of raise-and-take, Curtis Freeze jammed the button for about 1,300,000 and Marc Levy quickly called from the big blind to put him at risk.
Curtis Freeze: K♥8♦
Marc Levy: K♣Q♦
Freeze started the day as one of the shortest stacks and needed a date with an eight to keep his bracelet hopes alive.
Levy paired his queen on the Q♣7♥6♠ flop to take a huge lead. The 9♦ turn gave Freeze a straight draw, but he missed on the 7♠ river and exited in 15th place as the first casualty of the day.
