Level 12: 1,200/2,400 Limits
Stud 8

Brian Zekas found himself in a betting battle with Adam Friedman and his chips ended up in the middle on fourth street.  Zekas was holding a pair of jacks and Friedman was sitting on 4-5-6-7 for an open-ended straight draw.

Not only did Friedman hit, but he ended up with 3-4-5-6-7-8-9 for a seven card straight giving him the high hand and the low knocking out Zekas.

With the elimination, we are down to eight players left and are one more away from going to an unofficial final table.
