Shorty Doubles
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Jeff Fielder began the day dead last in chips, but he got off to a good start with an early double.
It happened when Mansour Alipour-Fard raised to 60,000 from the button to put the pressure on the short-stacked blinds. Fielder called off for 25,500 from the small blind, and after the big folded, the cards were turned up.
Ford: 
Fielder: 
Fielder got it in good, but the 
flop paired Alipour-Ford. Fielder began to get up, but stopped when the dealer burned and turned the 
to give him back the lead. The 
river was of no consequence, and Fielder shipped the much-needed double.
Meanwhile, MSPT Grand Falls champ Alan Curl has been eliminated from the tournament.
