On our way back to the tournament floor, we ran into Ben Heath. Heath told us he was down to just 11 big blinds and got it in with 
against the 
of Timothy Adams. Heath failed to dodge his opponent's outs and as a result was the first to leave the tournament. 16 players now, but Heath (and others) do have the option to buy (back) in till the start of Level 9.
