Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
After getting away from big slick in a tough spot earlier, Chad Awerbuch was all in and at risk against Shane Pearce as the cards were turned up.
Chad Awerbuch: A♥K♠ 
Shane Pearce: 8♣8♥
Awerbuch found ace-king once again but ran into Pearce's pocket pair, with the 4♥3♥Q♦2♥2♠ board providing no help.
At a nearby table, Eric Xu came up short with ace-queen against a pair of sixes to end his run in 49th place for $4,260.
