Jon Turner brought in and Phil Hemuth completed before David Benyamine made the call. Turner called also and Hellmuth fired out on fourth but only Turner made the call. Turner then check-called on fifth but check-folded to a bet on sixth as Hellmuth takes aim once again at a 12th bracelet.

Thor Buch's Sake

Eric Rodawig: {x-}{x-} / {7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs} / {x-}
Eric Buchman: {x-}{x-} / {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Hearts} / {x-}
Thor Hansen: {x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} / {x-}

Four bets had gone on third with Hansen already all in. Buchman call bets on fourth and fifth before betting all in himself on sixth. Rodawig called and it went down to showdown on seventh.

Hansen could only show {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} for just a pair of sixes.
Buchman held {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for just a pair of jacks.
Rodawig flipped {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for just kings but with no-one showing a low, he managed to scoop a huge pot.

We're now down to three tables

Troy Division

Chris Tryba: {x-}{x-} / {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades} / {x-}
Maxwell Troy: {x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} / {x-}
Justin Smith: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} / {x-}

Maxwell Troy had raised all in on fifth street with both Smith and Tryba calling. Smith bet on sixth street and Tryba called before seventh was checked down.

Troy showed {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a seven-high straight and a seven low which scooped the pot though we missed who won the small side pot.

Benyamine Has Bouncebackability

Hasan Habib: {x-}{x-} / {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} / {x-}
David Benyamine: {x-}{x-} / {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{J-Spades} / {x-}

Joining the action on fourth and Hasan Habib check-called a bet from Benyamine before both players checked fifth, Habib then led out on sixth when he made open sevens and Benyamine called. The Frenchman then bet on seventh after Habib checked - the latter called but then mucked on being shown {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a straight and a six low.
