James Obst opened for 20,000 from the cutoff and action folded around to a short-stacked Shoshiro Karita, who moved all in for 57,000 from the big blind. Obst called and the cards were turned up.
Obst: 
Karita:
The 
flop paired both players but Karita stayed in the lead with a pair of aces. Unfortunately for him, the dealer burned and turned the 
to give Obst trips and a hammerlock on the hand. The 
river was not the ace that Karita needed, and he was eliminated from the tournament while Obst chipped up to 650,000.

We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know Kevin Rabichow was all in holding the 
and at risk against the 
of Sean Keeton.
The 
flop was fairly kind to Rabichow, who got it in way behind, as it delivered him an open-ended straight draw. The 
turn didn't complete it, but it did pair Rabichow's queen and thrust him into the lead. Keeton needed either an ace or king on the river to eliminate his opponent, and he got the former as the spilked.

Lee Markholt raised under the gun only to have Ping Chan three-bet to 60,000 from the button. The blinds both folded, Markholt moved all in for 159,000, and Chan made the call.
Markholt: 
Chan:
According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Markholt had a 45.50% chance of winning the hand. He watched that drop to 22.22% when the 
flop missed him completely, and that was essentially cut in half when the appeared on the turn. Markholt needed either an ace or queen on the river to extend his tournament life, but it wasn't in the cards as the 
blanked.

Last year Phil Ivey finished 12th in this very event and then went on to win the $250,000 Challenge later that night. Unfortunately for him (and plenty of poker fans), Ivey won't be bettering that result here in 2013.
His demise came when he opened for 20,000 from the cutoff and then called a three-bet to 56,000 from James Obst in the big blind. The latter led out for 60,000 on the 
flop, and Ivey quietly announced that he was all in for roughly 330,000. Neither Obst nor the spectators heard the declaration, and the two players sat motionless for the better part of two minutes before the dealer informed Obst that action was on him. The Australian, who was clearly surprised, made a quick call.
Ivey: 
Obst: 
Ivey had flopped an open-ended straight draw to go with his overpair, but Obst, who killed two of his outs, had him pipped with a bigger overpair. The 
turn was of no help to Ivey, and neither was the river. Ivey was eliminated from the tournament in 30th place while Obst chipped up to 1 million.
