We didn't catch any action, but we did see Raj Ramakrishnan walking quickly towards the exit of the room.
The empty seat he once occupied, assures us he has been eliminated form the tournament.

We arrived to the table to see the flop of 
spread out an both the blinds checking their options. The player sitting under the gun bet out 1,600 and was called by the hijack and Raymond Wu on the button. The blinds folded as the 
fell on the turn.
The action was checked to Wu, who bet out 4,000 in chips after contemplating his decision for a minute. Another minute passed before the under the gun player made the call, as the third player in the hand got out of the way.
The 
completed the board and both players checked and tabled their cards. Wu’s opponent showed 
for a pair of jacks, but it was no good against the 
held by Wu.
Wu now moves up to 28,000 in chips.

We didn't catch the action until the river, but here's what we saw when we got there. There was a big pile of chips in the middle that looked to be at least 10,000, and the board had completed 
. Chane Kampanatsanyakorn checked to his lone opponent, who fired out 6,000.
Kampanatsanyakorn spent about two minutes in the tank before eventually tossing the call in, and his opponent said "good call" and showed 
for jack high. Kampanatsanyakorn rolled over 
for two pair, and it was good enough to take the pot.

We caught the action just in time to see Celina Lin raise an additional 1,400 from the button, after facing an open from Kevin Zhang in the cut-off. With the decision back on Zhang, he moved all in for his last 12,725 and was called by Lin, as both players tabled their cards.

Board: 
Lin was almost able to dodge everything, but the ace on the river would see her forfeit the pot over to Zhang, who welcomed the much needed double-up.

We just noticed Jesse McKenzie walking through the middle of the room, making his way for the exit. He was able to fill us in on what had happened.
The action started with a player in early position opening to 700 and finding a call from the player in the cut-off. McKenzie was on the small blind, and raised to 2,350, forcing a fold from the original player before the cut-off called. The flop came 
and McKenzie jammed his remaining 4,650 and was called as both players tabled their cards.
McKenzie: 
Opponent: 
McKenzie was behind to the pair of aces of his opponent, but had the flush draw to take down the pot. Unfortunately the 
and would not see him get there, as he makes his way to the rail.

With the flop reading 
, the player on the big blind checked her option. Raymond Wu bet out 1,400 from late position before being met with a re-raise to 5,100 in chips. The big blind got out of the way before Wu studied his opponent’s stack.
“How much do you have?” asked Wu.
“Just over six thousand behind,” replied his opponent.
With that information, Wu grabbed a stack of chips and dumped them into the pot, covering his opponent. He made the call and both players tabled their cards.
Wu: 
Opponent: 
It seemed like it would be Wu’s day, with another chance to increase his stack after flopping a set of eights. The was good for Wu, but the was produced on the river to see his opponent make the better full house.
A shocked Wu could only sit back in his chair and watch as the pot was pushed over to his opponent. He now sits on 15,000 in chips.
