No More "Choctaw" in Choctaw

We saw Justin "Choctaw" Kruger packing up his trademark green alien into his backpack, which only occurs after he's been eliminated. Sure enough, the man known as "Choctaw" exited the tournament area while Mario "Pwnasaurus" Silvestri filled us in on what happened.

According to Silvestri, Kruger was crippled after a player had raised, another limped, and then the player in Seat 9 moved all in for 10,000 with {9-}{9-}. Kruger then moved all in over the top for 13,000 or so with {A-}{J-}, and the rest of the field folded. Kruger was unable to catch, and that left him with a paltry stack, one that he lost just a few hands later.

Meanwhile, it appears both Kurt Jewell and Bobby "Shooter" Hempkins have been eliminated from the tournament.
