"Get Some Sunshine"
During the break we saw Chicago pro Rob Edelstein sitting by himself looking a bit downtrodden. Such a look is usually a result of elimination, and a quick check with him proved that was indeed the case.
According to Edelstein, his last hand came after 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up Felix Stephensen opened for 1,800 from early position and Edelstein opted to try for a steal by shoving all in for his last 12,000. It didn't work though as Stephensen opted to make a call.

Edelstein was behind but he was drawing to two live cards. The flop wasn't particularly interesting, and neither was the turn. Edelstein needed either a six or seven to stay alive, but it was not meant to be as a peeled off to improve Stephensen to Broadway.
"Get some sunshine," Edelstein replied when asked what he's up to next. He then explained he'll be heading to South Florida for a big tournament. As they say, "On to the next one."
