Awerbuch Busts, Xu's Run Ends
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
After getting away from big slick in a tough spot earlier, Chad Awerbuch was all in and at risk against Shane Pearce as the cards were turned up.
Chad Awerbuch: A?K? 
Shane Pearce: 8?8?
Awerbuch found ace-king once again but ran into Pearce's pocket pair, with the 4?3?Q?2?2? board providing no help.
At a nearby table, Eric Xu came up short with ace-queen against a pair of sixes to end his run in 49th place for $4,260.
