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

Jeff Fielder began the day dead last in chips, but he got off to a good start with an early double.

It happened when Mansour Alipour-Fard raised to 60,000 from the button to put the pressure on the short-stacked blinds. Fielder called off for 25,500 from the small blind, and after the big folded, the cards were turned up.

Ford: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Fielder: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Fielder got it in good, but the {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop paired Alipour-Ford. Fielder began to get up, but stopped when the dealer burned and turned the {A-Spades} to give him back the lead. The {3-Clubs} river was of no consequence, and Fielder shipped the much-needed double.

Meanwhile, MSPT Grand Falls champ Alan Curl has been eliminated from the tournament.
