Schertzer Turns 800 Chips at the Start of the Day into a Cash
Ivan Schertzer had been slowly chipping down since players returned from dinner break, and had survived until the three-table redraw.
He got his chips all-in on third street against Kevin Iacofano and the boards ran out as follows, with Schertzer getting a lock on the hand from sixth street.

A short while later Schertzer was all in again against Kyle Montgomery.

By seventh street Schertzer had made a nine, but was behind to the seven-six of Montgomery. Montgomery drew a and Schertzer needed an ace or a deuce to make a better seven. Unfortunately for him it was a and he was eliminated.
Schertzer came into the day with just 800 chips, which was the least of anyone left in the tournament. With four antes he laddered his way up the tournament to reach what was at the start of the day an unlikely position of 23rd. He takes home $3,496.
