Level 27: 25,000/50,000/5,000 Ante

The fast pace slowed down once they reached the final table and went an entire level without a big hand. The first knockout came in a weird situation.

Robert Chusid accidentally exposed one of this cards (the ) and was forced to play with one up and one down in the small blind. Action folded to him and he moved all-in.

Strong move but David Shmuel quickly called with and Chusid turned over his other card to find . Chusid flopped a flush draw on the board and turned a gutshot draw on the turn.

Chusid jumped out of his seat and Shmuel shook his head when the dropped on the river to complete the straight. It was a tough exit but Shmuel was gone in 10th place for $994.

Level 20: 5,000/10,000/1,000 Ante

After three weeks of covering tournaments, the writing staff became accustomed to brief money bubble action. That all changed in the last tournament of the series.

It took 14 hands, one at a time, to finally put the tournament in the money after more than 30 minutes. There were six all-ins called that only produced double ups until one unnamed short stack found Kings.

There were three live players after he shoved his micro-stack and they checked it down until the board read . Mike Rumie tossed out a single 25k chip to get folds from the other players and a schoolyard vulgarity from the all-in player.

He probably thought his was beaten by and Ace but it was Rumie’s turned straight which put the field in the money.
