Todd: {A-Diamonds}

Hawkins:

The flop gave Todd a flush draw, coming {K-Diamonds}

. The turn was the {8-Hearts}

to allow Hawkins to move up to 100,000. Todd dropped to 140,000.

And I Was Just Getting Comfortable

Shamus

Down to his last 21,500, Nick Binger shoved from UTG+1 with A-8 and got called by Martin Wiklund who held K-Q. The board brought a queen but no ace, and Binger was gone.

"I wish you could stay longer," said Binger to his massage therapist as he got up.

Wiklund is up to 191,000.

Acey-Deucey

Shamus

Jens Klaning and Nathan Sumrall were both recently eliminated after going all in with A-2 versus 8-8. In both cases, the player holding eights made a set (one on the flop, the other on the turn), ending doubt about the hand's outcome early.

We're now down to 55 players.
