Conrad Comes From Behind to Eliminate Mauer
After Randy Shearer became the first elimination in the money, finishing in 63rd place for $2,974, a hand developed over on Table 37. It began when Chris Conrad opened from the under-the-gun position only to have Scott Mauer move all in from the cutoff. Conrad made the call and was in bad shape.

The 
flop gave Mauer top set, but it also delivered Conrad an open-ended straight draw. Wouldn't you know it, that draw was completed when a 
spiked on the turn. The 
river failed to pair the board an Mauer became our 62nd-place finisher and will take home $2,974 for his efforts.
