Hertzel Zalewski (in an earlier event) - 8th Place

With Le's knockout, there was just a single big blind for this hand. Brad Libson raised it up, and Hertzel Zalewski and Julie Schneider came along with him. Libson drew one while his opponents traded two cards. He bet and got both opponents to call.

On the second round, each player drew one before Libson made another bet. Zalewski put in a raise, Schneider folded, and Libson called the extra bet.

On the final draw, both Libson and Zalewski stood pat, and the former check-called a bet from Zalewski. Both men said, "Eighy-six," nearly simultaneously. Libson showed down the winner though, tabling 8-6-5-3-2. That loss knocked Zalewski down to just 22,000

*****

On the next hand, Zalewski raised first in, and Masayoshi Tanaka made it three bets. Brad Libson called, as did Zalewski, whose call put him all in and at risk. The betting rounds were pretty uneventful, and Zalewski would draw two cards the whole way. After patting on the last round, Libson tabled 9-8-7-5-3, good enough to win the pot and eliminate Hertzel Zalewski in 8th place. He'll get a pay bump up to just about $18,000 for his efforts.
