Force Felted, Riess Runs Out, Bronshtein Busts

The eliminations continue here in Level 14.

Both Yuval Bronshtein and Ryan Riess were back today after busting Day 1a, and both players found themselves having gotten short as the night wore on, then were eliminated before reaching the last level of the evening.

Leif Force hadn't played Day 1a as he had been busy playing the second day of Event #9, the $580 buy-in no-limit hold'em event in which he eventually finished 16th. (Jimmy Kelly of Knoxville, Tennessee won the ring in that one, by the way, earning $46,533 for topping a field of 423.)

But like Riess and Bronshtein, Force also was knocked out in Level 14, leaving about 150 players left from the starting field on Day 1b.
