Barry Schultz eliminated
A long three days in the Amazon Room has come to an end for Barry Schultz. He raised to 150,000 from middle position. Action folded to Bobby Firestone in the big blind, who moved all in for over a million chips, putting Schultz to the test. He grimaced, but called all in for a total of about 750,000. He tabled , a hand that was well ahead of Firestone's .
"The first time I've made a move all day, and I get called," said a clearly dispirited Firestone.
There was no help on the flop for Firestone, when it came all hearts: . "Bobby will need one of the remaining aces, running straight cards, or running hearts for a chop," said the Tournament Director.
The turn made a pair of aces, but all was not over for Schultz; he could catch a heart for a chop or the to win the pot outright. A harmless hit the river, sending Schultz to the rail with an extra $112,657 in his pocket.
