Dean Schultz Eliminated in 15th Place ($6,097)
After Tuan Bui Le folded from under the gun, Joel Merwick folded from the next seat, but when he slid his cards in a little too much force was applied. His cards flew across the table and one of them came in contact with Kris Bradshaw's cards in the big blind. It was ruled that because his hand was hit by one of Merwick's cards, the hand was dead. Just to check, Bradshaw checked what he thought were his original cards and then tossed them in as a dead hand and forfeited his big blind.
Action then folded to Dean Schultz in the cutoff seat and he moved all in for about 110,000. Garrett Utt reraised all in from the button and the two went to a showdown.

The board ran out and Schultz was eliminated in 15th place. The kicker? Well, Bradshaw said he would have had ace-king suited if his hand was live. If he did, he'd probably have doubled up after rivering a broadway straight.
