Brett Apter Eliminated in 11th Place ($29,006)

Joseph Berg

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Brett Apter open shoved for his last 590,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Antonio Galiana in the small blind who snap called. Apter was at risk and in need of some help.

Brett Apter: K♦Q♦
Antonio Galiana: A♣A♠

The board ran out 3♦4♣6♦4♥8♣, giving Apter some outs on the turn and river. Unfortunately for Apter he could not improve to the winning hand, thus ending an impressive tournament run for the bracelet winner.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

David Hoffenberg and David Goodman have been the two short stacks at the table for quite some time, with Goodman falling to as low as five big blinds. However, despite their very patient play, they both have managed to stay in the game with a few timely all-ins to steal the blinds. They were then both able to double-up through table chipleader Antonio Galiana.

Hoffenberg was able to chip up first, going all in and showing the ace every time the table folded. When he once went all in again from the button for 760,000, he got called by Galiana.

David Hoffenberg: K♦9♦ All in
Antonia Galiana: A♠3♣

The board came J♠9♥2♥5♥8♦, Hoffenberg hit a pair of nines and was able to double up.

Despite an extremely short stack, Goodman was also able to take the blinds four times in the last few rounds. On his most recent all in from the cutoff, however, he got called, also by Galiana.

David Goodman: 8♣7♣ All in
Antonio Galiana: 6♦6♥

The board was 7♠9♦K♠4♦10♥ and Goodman was able to edge out Galiana's sixes with his sevens and doubled up.

It has been a wild Level 29 for Jeremy Ausmus. His stack has gone from 3,000,000 to 360,000 and then back up again.

Johan Guilbert raised to 250,000 from under the gun and was called by Patrick Leonard in the small blind. Jeremy Ausmus then went all in and was at risk from the big blind for 1,600,020. Leonard folded and Guilbert called.

Jeremy Ausmus: A♥K♦ All in
Johan Guilbert: 9♥9♣

The board ran out 3♠A♦Q♥4♥8♠ and Ausmus' chipstack keeps trending upward. The six time bracelet winner is hoping to keep the positive momentum going.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

After seeing his stack decimated down to 360,000, Jeremy Ausmus is proving he has alligator blood.

Ausmus got back on the upward trend with a double up with K♦6♦ through Patrick Leonard’s K♣5♥ and both hit two pair.

A few hands later, Ausmus used 8♥3♥ out of the big blind to double up through Joshua Reichard, who raised preflop with K♣9♣. Ausmus moved all in with a short stack on the flop after he flopped a pair of threes, and Reichard called. Ausmus would hit 8x on the turn for two pair.

With more chips at his disposal, Ausmus was active again and raised 240,000 in early position. He received a call from Juha Helppi in the big blind.

The flop brought 2♠4♥K♣, resulting in Helppi checking. Ausmus bet 125,000 and Helppi folded.

The pot helped Ausmus to push his stack back to 2,000,000, giving him some room to maneuver.
