Michael Shklover was eliminated after Chris Hyong Chang had him all in preflop.
Showdown
Shklover: 
Chang: 
The board ran 
and Shklover was eliminated.
Chang now sits with 290,000 chips.
Nenad Medic started the action by raising to 6,000 from early position. Action folded to John "Tex" Barch who three-bet to 21,000 and Charles Sylvestre put in a fourth bet.
Medic decided to get out of the way and Barch moved all in. Sylvestre unhappily called.
Showdown
Barch:
Sylvestre: 
The 
flop was terrible for Sylvestre, and he was drawing dead after the turned. The 
on the river poured salt in the wound and Barch was pushed a huge pot doubling him to 240,000 chips.
Sylvestre was crippled, left with only 22,000 himself.
Charles Sylvestre is now pushing up the poker daisies. With Klinghammer Thibaut raising to 17,000 and Tex Barch making the call, Sylvestre decided to make his move and duly pushed all in for 9,000. Both players called.
The 
board was checked all the way down to the river where Thibaut reached for a handful of orange chips. Barch immediately folded.
"Nice river," sighed Sylvestre flipping 
aggressively onto the felt. Thibaut had 
.
Cory Albertson opened to 13,500 from middle position and Christian "charder30" Harder was his only caller out of the big blind.
The dealer flopped 
and Harder checked. Albertson continued for 17,500 and Harder potted to 82,500. Albertson re-potted and Harder called all in:
Showdown
Albertson: 
Harder: 
Harder had an over pair and a flush draw, but Albertson had a better flush draw. Neither the turn (
) or the river () were hearts though, and Harder doubled to 260,000 chips.
Albertson is crippled, left with only 26,000 chips.
If you were searching for proof of the volatility of Omaha, then look no further than Cory Albertson. It seems like only moments ago that I was reporting him as being one of the top five chip leaders, and now, inside the level, he finds himself heading towards the rail with a disappointing $8.064 in his pocket.
In the end, it was previous nemesis Christian Harder who picked up the pieces, Albertson moving all in preflop with 
and being looked up by Harder's . The flop provided a glimmer of hope, but any rays of hope were quickly distinguished on an anti-climatic turn and river.
Harder is now on 295 and although stoic on the surface, will surely be turning cartwheels on the inside. A debut WSOP final table beckons.
