Steve Brecher, who won the WPT Bay 101 title back in March, is eliminated in 12th place.

After Freddy Deeb called down Jason Burt's failed bluff, the two engaged in quite a conversation.
Jason Burt: "Let me know when you show to Commerce with all the money you won."
Freddy Deeb: "Is that a heads-up invitation?"
Burt: "Sure."
Deeb: "You don't have enough money to play with me."
Burt: "I can raise the money."
Deeb pauses for about 20 seconds, where it seems like the conversation has ended. But then Deeb offers some advice: "Don't act like Phil Hellmuth." Deeb goes off on a little rant for about a minute, comparing Burt's comments with those of Hellmuth after a player sucks out on him.
Eventually, Deeb backs off from his earlier comments and says, "I don't know who you are. I might have to borrow money to play you." Burt laughs, and the demeanor of the table improves.
Deeb offers some empathy at the end, saying, "It's not a good feeling, to lose half a million, especially this late in a big tournament. I know how you feel." Deeb then asks, "What is your name?"
Burt: "Jason."
Deeb: "Nice to meet you, Jason. My name's Freddy."
Burt laughs, as he (like almost everyone in poker) knows who Freddy Deeb is. After a few more relaxed comments, Deeb even invites Burt to his house for barbecue if they do end up playing at Commerce someday.
