Mike Puskarich Eliminated in 17th Place ($9,099)

Mike Puskarich raised on the button, and Jeff Madsen called from the small blind. The flop fell {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and Madsen bet out. Puskarich raised, and Madsen three-bet for most of his stack. He didn't have to worry, however, Puskarich folded, leaving himself about 45,000.

The next hand, Puskarich got all of those chips in preflop against his nemesis. It was Puskarich's {A-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} against Madsen's {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The flop brought the cases aces, {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and gave Madsen a low draw. The {5-Hearts} on the turn was a perfect card for him and a deadly one for Puskarich. The {10-Hearts} river was a blank, and Madsen scooped the pot with a low and aces full of fives. Puskarich hung on all the way to 17th place since being short-stacked yesterday afternoon, but his ride ends here. Madsen's is just starting. He's over the 200k mark now.

After Puskarich was eliminated, Chris Viox was moved to the feature table to balance each one at eight players.
