Matthew Schreiber Eliminated in 7th Place ($15,747)

[user162117]

The eliminations have been flying fast in the late stages of this level, with Matthew Schreiber the latest addition to the rail. Schreiber was fairly short stacked heading into the final hand of his tournament, with his bust-out starting like this.

Schreiber opened from early position and the action was folded to Christopher Vitch in the big blind. He asked Schreiber how much he had left and once satisfied with an answer, he three-bet. Schreiber then committed the last of his chips and the two players turned their hands over.

Schreiber: {a-Clubs} {j-Spades}
Vitch: {j-Clubs} {4-Hearts}

Schreiber was in terrific shape, that is he was until the {8-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} flop hit the felt. The {8-Clubs} turn and the {5-Hearts} river were no help to Schreiber and he made his way out the door in 7th place.
