Casey Coleman Elliminated in Tenth Place ($7,507)

A bad Casey of the Blues

The hand prior, Mike Schwartz limps, only to fold to an 82,000 preflop raise from Jason Young. As the next hand is being dealt out, he sends a friendly "don't do that next time..." warning to Young, who doesn't appear too troubled by the message.

Anyhow, the very next hand, Mike Schwartz giggles and takes the lead with a 60,000 preflop raise, adding "this is a test for you." "What, just me, no one else?" replies Young, chuckling.

Young may have stepped out of the way, but short-stacker Casey Coleman doesn't, calling the 60,000 and leaving himself just 3,000 in chips.

"Be careful," advises Coleman holding up his remaining stack between his two fingers.

"I'm very careful," claims Schwartz. "Tell them."

The next seat down, Matt Giannetti, makes the call and we see a three-way {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop. With Schwartz betting out, Coleman calling all in and Giannetti folding, its on their backs time with Schwartz's {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} in the lead against Coleman's {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The {J-Hearts} turn and {10-Hearts} river are of no use and Coleman is out, still evidently dazed by his mammoth pot with Rybachenko as he departs the table.
