We've now see both short stacks from break bust in the first (25) minutes of the level, as Brian Raik (Coral Springs, FL) was just eliminated in 8th place ($8,190).  Raik came into the day just over chip average, and was another player to climb steadily up the leaderboard without the assistant of one notable large pot.  This finish earns him his second largest tournament cash in his career.
