Brent Wheeler Eliminated in 10th Place ($22,849)
Stud
Brent Wheeler's recent double-up was only able to stave off elimination a short while. He got all in on third street with split eights and was called by Bill Chen's split jacks. Chen made queens full of jacks by sixth street, which left Wheeler drawing dead. He leaves in 10th place, allowing the tournament to collapse to a "last" table of nine players before the next elimination sets the final table.
