Steve Brite
Steve Brite won Event 10 last week, earning $24,287.

Steve Brite was all in from the big blind for 800,000 with AcQc, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the 10d10c of Yuri Martins in the cutoff.

The board came Qh9h8d10h6c — Brite paired his queen on the flop, but Martins turned a set of tens to win the pot and eliminate Brite in 12th place.

Yuri Martins  –  3,300,000  (33 bb)
Steve Brite  –  Eliminated in 12th Place  ($48,805)

With 11 players remaining from a field of 1,165, the average chip stack is about 4,225,000 (42 big blinds). The remaining players are all guaranteed at least $48,805 each, and the next pay jump will be $61,325 for 10th place.

Action will continue tonight until the end of Level 28, or until there are six players left, whichever comes first.
