It was a short day for our second shortest stack.
Nenad Medic called from middle position and John "Tex" Barch raised to 40,000 near the button. Denton Pfister re-raised to 120,000 and Medic folded. Barch made the call.
The dealer wrapped the table then flopped 
. Pfister only had 37,000 behind and moved all in. Barch called and the hands were turned up:
Showdown
Barch: 
Pfister: 
Barch's two pair was in the lead, and the 
on the turn didn't change anything. Pfister received no help from the 
on the river either, and was eliminated in ninth place.
Barch is off to another quick start, and after the knockout has 700,000 chips.
Tyler Patterson ended up all in pre-flop, after a raising war against Blair Rodman, facing the elimination.
Showdown
Patterson: 
Rodman: 
The board came out 
and Patterson is our 8th place finisher.
Trai Dang and Ashkan Razavi potted each other back and forth until all the chips were in the middle. The hands were tabled:
Dang: 
Razkavi: 
It was aces vs. aces and the board ran 
so the two chopped the pot.
"That was exciting," someone on the rail joked.
Exciting or not, we're sure both players will take a chop over a loss.
After a few raise-folds hands, the action folded to John "Tex" Barch who opened for 35,000 on the button. Ashkan Razavi thought for a second before potting to 117,000 from the small blind. Blair Rodman surrendered his big blind and the action was back on Tex.
"Pull it in please," he asked the dealer.
Barch stared down the pot for a moment or two before finally releasing.
