David Chiu Eliminated in 17th Place ($11,337)
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Jan Sjavik raised from the cutoff and a short-stacked David Chiu, who won his fifth gold bracelet just last week, called off from the small blind. Brent Wheeler then called from the big blind and there was side action headed to the 
flop.
Wheeler checked, Sjavik bet and Wheeler woke up with a check-raise to 8,000. Sjavik made the called and then Wheeler check-called bets on both the 
turn and 
river. Sjavik rolled over the 
for the nuts, and Wheeler sent his cards to the muck.
"I even got there," Chiu said as he showed a pair of rivered aces with the 
. Unfortunately for him, it was not good enough and he had to settle for 17th place.
