Ryan Schmidt Eliminated in 8th Place ($41,470)

Ryan Schmidt - 8th Place
Ryan Schmidt - 8th Place
After Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin opened with a raise, Ryan Schmidt moved all in behind him. When action got back to Baldwin, he made the call.

Schmidt's tournament life was on the line with {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} in a race against Baldwin's {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts}.

The flop came down {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts}, adding a straight draw to Baldwin's hand. The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and eliminated a bunch of outs for Schmidt. The river was the {5-Diamonds} and, although he didn't need it, Baldwin made a straight to eliminate Schmidt.

Schmidt will take home over $41,000 for his efforts. Baldwin moved up to about 1.575 million.
