Shun Uchida Eliminates Joe Cassidy and Brian Powell

Cassidy was all in before the {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} flop and when Uchida bet from the big blind Powell made the call. After the {6-Hearts} turned Uchida bet again and Powell moved in the last of his chips. His {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} trailed Uchida's {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} and Cassidy's {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} needed help as well. But the {10-Spades} didn't do the trick for Cassidy nor Powell and both were eliminated. Uchida is now up to 50,000.

John Hennigan Has Been Eliminated

Just before the break Aaron Katz knocked John Hennigan out of the tournament. Hennigan raised and Katz called from the big blind, the flop came {5-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} and when Katz bet Hennigan called for his last 5,300. Katz had flopped a flush with {2-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} and Hennigan's {A-Spades} {6-Spades} needed to hope for two high diamonds to show to get a chop. But the turn was the {3-Clubs} and that sealed Hennigan's fate.

Hoyt Corkins
Hoyt Corkins
There was a lot of betting on a {6-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} board and when that final ace fell on the river Erick Lindgren checked, Hoyt Corkins bet, Lindgren check-raised and Corkins raised again. Lindgren called and found that his {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} had been beaten by Corkins {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}. That brutal hand cost Lindgren all but 12,000 of his chips, while Corkins is now up to 270,000.
