Shah Raza Salma:
Salma chipped up and Chattha was left short, but just a couple of hands later, the former Hit Squad member got all of his chips into the middle and got a little lucky. At risk to finish outside the money with pocket tens and called pre-flop for his tournament life by a gentleman with pocket queens, Chattha found a ten on the flop to double back up. He is still under average.

The flop contained three spades, giving Hof plenty of hope for a four-flush double up and a way back into contention to win the event. But the run-out wasn't kind to the newest member of Team 888Poker.
