Event 18: 140 Remain

$1000 + $90 No Limit Hold'em  

Another table gone and they're down to 140 players remaining.

Average stack is almost 28k.  At 250/500 blinds, that's about 56 big blinds.

Steve Ryan was down to only 15 big blinds when he shoved holding 75 suited.

He was up against AT suited and needed to improve to survive...which he did.

He first made a straight, then a flush, and more than doubled up.
