Bruce Kraemer was crippled during the first level of play in Day 3, when his 
fell second-best to the 
of Gary Saldivia-Odar on a 
board. He was left with only a handful of big blinds, and managed to pull though for the better part of the level, finding some key double-up. With 2 big blinds left, he woke up with 
but lost to the 
of Richard Sysko to end his run in 11th place.
