On the first hand of hand-for-hand, there was an all-in and a call on table 10.
The blinds were 5,000/10,000/10,000 and Jonathan Stietz was one of the shorter stacks remaining in the field with 93,000 in the lojack. Stietz moved all-in.
Action folded around to Craig Ruggeberg in the small blind and Ruggeberg announced all-in. The big blind folded.
Ruggeberg: Q♠Q♦
Stietz: A♦J♥ (all-in)
Board: 8♥7♦4♣3♦5♣
Stietz went unimproved on the eight-high runout and was eliminated on the stone bubble.
The remaining 23 players are now in the money with $410 locked up. There will be multiple pay jumps before the final table secures $1,130 each. The winner is set to take home $11,270 for 1st place!
