Arrington was ahead before the flop with his 
, but as every poker player knows, five board cards can change everything.
The flop rolled out 
to keep the ace-high out in front, and Arrington was one card away from the double when the turn came .
River: 
Just like that, Arrington's hopes for a WPT Main Event title headed down fifth street and vanished into the horizon. The man known as "Mad Dog" to his friends received congratulations from his former tablemates, before heading to the payout desk to pick up his $46,625 in winnings for the 12th place run.
Jattin, meanwhile, chipped back up a bit after losing two big hands in the last few minutes to surrender the chip lead he held for most of the day.

After an open from the reliably aggressive Farid Jattin, the action escalated when Vladislav Mezheritsky three-bet jammed for his last 920,000.
Jattin could afford the call with his huge stack, but he asked for a count first to be sure he wanted to make the call, before plunking a stack forward to put Mezheritsky at risk.
Showdown:
Mezheritsky:
Jattin 
The two were racing for a pot worth more than 2 million, and when the flop came 
Jattin's nines surged out to an early lead.
Turn:
"Yes!" exclaimed Mezheritsky at the sight of the prettiest lady he'll likely see anytime soon. "Deuce!"
The dealer did not deliver the deuce he called for, but Mezheritsky was just as happy to see the 
fall on the river. He won a big flip to stay in contention for this WPT Main Event Championship, while Jattin was forced to ship a wing of his chip castle across the table.

Chamani continuation-bet 560,000 on the 
flop, and Choi again called immediately. Maio got out of the way, and the turn brought a

, and she was eliminated.

Chamani:
Toscano:

"Chip and a chair, Frank," one of Toscano's tablemates said.
The next hand, Bryan Choi opened for a raise, and everyone else folded. Choi showed , and Toscano, who was all in with the ante, showed an as his first card. He slowly revealed his second card...the

Chris Reslock limped under the gun, and Keith Crowder raised to 190,000. Jared Jaffee popped it to 420,000 from the small blind, Reslock folded along with the big blind, and Crowder thought very briefly before moving all in for 1,940,000. After a minute or so, Jaffee called.
Jaffee:
Crowder:
"Yeah, baby," Crowder exclaimed upon seeing the hands.
"The premature celebration, that's never good," a bystander said.
Sure enough, the flop came , and Crowder needed to catch a king to survive. He failed to do so when the

After a min-raise to open the pot from Jared Jaffee, veteran tournament player Chris Reslock finally made his stand after grinding a short stack for the last few orbits.
Jaffee asked for a count before making a reluctant call with 
, and sure enough Reslock revealed the to put a hammerlock on the hand.
The flop came down and by the time the turn fell Jaffee had already turned his cards face down and tossed them into the muck. The meaningless river card came to make things official, and with that Reslock rebounded from the danger zone to give himself a chance to continue the grind.
