The Defending Champ has been Eliminated
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
We missed the hand as it happened, but we can confirm that the defending champ, Adam Friedman, has been eliminated from the tournament.
A quick check with Matt Kelly at Table 426 revealed that Friedman was "angry" and "rambunctious" after losing a bunch of hands. In what was his final hand, Friedman made two pair only to have "Crazy Marco" Johnson make a higher two pair.
We heard a hubbub from Friedman after the hand and then he made a hasty exit from the tournament. One thing is now for sure... we will have a new champion (though Eric Rodawig could still win the title for the second time in three years).
