"How Could He Miss?"
No Limit Hold'em:
Action folded around to Ben Staufeneger in the cutoff and he moved all in for 14,000. Both the button and small blind folded, but Kevin Calenzo liked what he saw in the big blind and made the call.
Showdown
Staufeneger: 
Calenzo: 
Staufeneger was behind but he did pick up an open-ended straight draw on the 
flop. As if that wasn't a good enough sweat, the 
turn gave him an added flush draw. Much to Calenzo's dismay, the 
spiked on the river to give Staufeneger the said flush.
"How could he miss?" someone at the table asked.
"He could have missed," Calenzo joked.
Meanwhile, Mike Noori has been eliminated from the tournament.

Su Brings us Down to 50
We are down to 50 players and just two spots off the money after Stephen Su just knocked a short stack out.
Stud
| Stephen Su |  /    |
| Opponent | /    |
We saw that Su called a bet, or raise, from his opponent on fifth street after which the rest of the chips went in on sixth.
Su turned over 
and was looking to catch another heart in order to make a flush. His opponent had 
and was ahead. Su's opponent killed one of his outs when he hit the 
, but the 
was still in the deck. Su made his flush and knocked the player out in 51st place.

McClung Gets Lucky
No Limit Hold'em
We just saw Chris McClung put a beat on one of his opponents, who walked out the door steaming as he just missed out on a min cash.
McClung raised to 2,600 after which his opponent moved all in for 23,300 total. The action got folded back to McClung who tanked for quite some time before making the call.

The board ran out 
giving McClung a straight, and the win. McClung stacked his new chips in silence as we inch closer and close towards the money.

Bjorin Cripples Lisandro
Stud Hi/Lo:
We caught the action on fifth street when Chris Bjorin paired his threes and bet 5,000, which 2009 World Series of Poker Player of the Year Jeff Lisandro called. The latter took the led on sixth and put out a bet of his own, Bjorin called, and then both men checked seventh.
Bjorin: 
/ 
Lisandro:

/ (x)
Lisandro wasn't in a hurry to show, so Bjorin revealed trip threes. Lisandro shook his head slightly and showed two of his down cards before sending his whole hand to the muck.
