Alexander Kostritsyn was crippled down to just 300 little chips in a three-way pot with Raymond Davis and Jameson Painter. Raymond Davis was standing pat and leading the betting, and Kostritsyn was forced to fold after the last draw, saving his small remainder for another spot.
That spot came two hands later, but Kostritsyn was unable to make anything materialize, and he has been eliminated.

We joined the heads-up action after the first draw as Lisandro check-raised Jamie Kaplan and each player put two bets into the pot.
Both players stood pat on the second round, and this time Lisandro just check-called a bet. Kaplan stood pat again, and Lisandro took another card before check-calling one final bet.
Kaplan tabled 
, and that was good enough to drag the pot and boost his stack to 39,000. Lisandro is down to 13,000.
Tom Schneider raised and then Shunjiro Uchida called from the small blind. Jordan Siegel also called from the big blind. On the first draw, all three players drew two cards. Both blinds then checked to Schneider and he fired a bet. Both his opponents made the call.
On the second draw, Uchida drew one, Siegel drew two and Schneider drew one. Uchida checked, Siegel bet, Schneider called and Uchida folded.
On the third draw, Siegel stood pat and Schneider drew one. Both players then checked. Siegel tabled the and Schenider mucked his hand. With that pot, Siegel boosted himself to 126,000 chips and is leading the way over the rest of the field.
Jon Turner was the first raiser, opening this pot from the cutoff seat. On the button, Don MacNamara three-bet, and Michael Binger four-bet from the big blind. Both of the aforementioned opponents put in the calling chips, and the three men went off to the drawing rounds.
Each player drew one card on the first round, and each of them stood pat on the final two draws. On the first, Binger bet, Turner called, MacNamara raised, and Binger and Turner called. MacNamara got one more bet in on the second draw before the three of them checked it down on the last round of betting.
MacNamara tabled a pretty-good , but he was pipped by Binger's . We couldn't scribble Turner's cards down quick enough, but suffice it to say he couldn't beat Binger's eighty-six.
Binger - 53,000
MacNamara - 32,000
Turner - 30,000
From under the gun, Davidson Matthew raised. Huck Seed called from the small blind and Tony G called from the big blind. On the first draw, Seed drew one, Tony G drew two and then Matthew drew two. After the draw, Seed checked, Tony G fired, Matthew called, then Seed called.
On the second draw, Seed took one, Tony G took one and Matthew took two. Seed checked and Tony G bet again. Matthew folded, but Seed came along to the third and final draw.
Seed drew one and Tony G stood pat. Both players then checked. Tony G spread a 
and Seed mucked. He was left with 19,000 and Tony G improved to 26,000.
Brian Tate opened with a button raise, and he called a three-bet from small blind Michael Binger to go heads up the rest of the way.
Binger drew two cards on the first betting round before standing pat twice, while Tate drew two-two-one on the three respective rounds. Binger fired bets after each of the draws, and Tate called each step of the way.
At the end of it all, Binger showed , and his eighty-six was enough to win the pot and move his stack up to 36,000. Tate drops, but he's still doing all right with his count of 71,000.
Raymond Davis just shot out of his chair and started doing some stretches behind his chair. He started jumping up and down in place, and he caught the eye of Jeffrey Lisandro at an adjacent table.
"Come on, Jeff!" Davis half-yelled. "You gotta win four this year." Lisandro barely looked up from the hand he was observing at his table. "If you don't win four this year," Davis continued, still jumping, "the Series is going to be a disappointment." A slight smirk from Lisandro. "If you don't get four, you gotta give me ten thousand," Davis finished the barrage. Lisandro, now wide-eyed, glanced at Davis and shook his head, returning to the hand in progress at his own table as Davis sat back down at his.
We walked a bit further to hear Allen Kessler getting a bit excited about a hand taking place on one of the final tables across the room. Kessler could see the action on the big screen, and he recounted it for his table. "King-queen-rag flop. One guy has ace-king, the other one flops a set of queens. How is nobody cheering over there?!" The table gave a bit of a shrug, and Kessler picked James Meehan to repeat the story to again. Meehan wasn't really paying attention. "I've seen so many flops, I don't really care any more." End of conversation.
In other table talk news, Justin "BoostedJ" Smith has parked himself in between Huck Seed and Eli Elezra at one of the near tables, and the three men have been engaged in a very animated conversation for about 15 minutes now.
Apart from those three bits of chatter, things are mostly quiet in our corner of the Amazon Room right now.
