David "Chino" Rheem
David "Chino" Rheem and Greg Raymer were just recently eliminated. Raymer was drawing dead against his opponent's , despite making his eight-six low on the draw.
Chino on the other hand, went out in somewhat of an unlucky fashion. After he was all in and drawing two cards against one single opponent, the dealer slid two cards back over to Rheem. Before Chino could pick up the cards, the dealer grabbed one of them back and swept it into the muck. The floor was called over and it was ruled that Chino could keep the four cards in his hand. For his fifth card, the entire deck would be shuffled and he would be given another draw card.
"So, I'm could get one of their muck cards?" Chino asked, to which the floor nodded his head.
Chino was then dealt a card, but checked to see what the other card was that he drew. With his opponent holding a seven low, Chino knew he was dead when the draw card was a jack. He mucked his hand and walked to the rail.

Michael Jordan or Greg Raymer?
Just before the dinner break, after winning the $100 from Erick Lindgren earlier by tossing a water bottle into the trash can, Greg Raymer had the C-note sitting on the table next to his chips. Raymer's mother came over to the table and asked, "Greg, why's there money on the table?"
Greg replied by telling her how he won the money from Erick on the bet.
Short and to the point, Raymer's mother looked at Erick and said, "Thanks for dinner, Erick."
