Brian Horwitz's tournament has come to an abrupt end, the major damage caused by Casey Stewart.
In a flurry of betting activity, Stewart was all in with 
and needing to avoid an ace or king, as Horwitz held 
.
He managed to do just that as the five community cards fell 
to improve Stewart to a flush and leave Horwitz with only 6,000 chips.
Those 6,000 doubled on the next hand when his 
beat Ahmed Amin's 
, but he crashed out after the very next hand when his was no match for Stewart's 
on a 
board.

Phil Collins is the biggest deal of the remaining 11 players, but Dan Goldman could make a case for that title as well.
Dan Goldman has been a big deal in the poker world for years, even if we don't know him by name. As a marketing executive in the poker industry for years, including five years in the early days of PokerStars, Goldman knows his way around poker, whether it's virtual or live felt.
One could argue that folks like Goldman are as responsible as anyone for the worldwide poker boom that has taken place in the 21st century.
Goldman is short-stacked, but his deep run is poising him to make a name for himself and become a big deal as a player.

Dan Goldman is back up to 145,000 after doubling through Ryan Schoonbaert.
Goldman was way ahead when the chips went into the middle, his a more than 4-to-1 favorite to be the 
of his opponent. After burning a card the dealer put a hand-winning flop, for Goldman at least, into view. It read 
to gift Goldman quad aces!
"I guess I'm ahead," joked Goldman.
The dealer completed the hand by putting the and 
onto the felt and Goldman doubled up.

We walked up to a flop of 
and Ahmed Amin heads up against David Schoonbaert. After a check from Amin, Schoonbaert bet 16,000 and Amin thought for a moment before announcing "pot." It was 88,000 to Schoonbaert and he announced a pot-sized reraise, which would put Amin all in and Amin made the call.
Schoonbaert turned over 
for top pair and Amin had for the flush draw. The turn was the 
, completing the flush for Amin. The meaningless completed the board and Schoonbaert could only shake his head as Amin raked the huge pot.

Kezu Oshima opened to 16,000 from under the gun and after Tom McCormick folded, Anton Smirnov three-bet to 60,000. Oshima eventually folded and Smirnov claimed the pot.
That brief hand only tells part of the story because Oshima has becoming extremely aggressive during the past couple of levels, opening pots seemingly for fun. It's a strategy that is reaping dividends because he's now the chip leader with 11 players left with over 500,000 chips.

Schoonbaert was all-in with [TjTc] versus Stewart's and when the board ran out 
the double was complete.
