Kevin Gray: K♠Q♦
Bryan Keefer: 5♣5♦
The flop came 5♠8♠8♦ with Keefer improving to a full house, leaving Gray all but dead. The 3♠ turn and A♣ river offered no help to Gray and he was sent to the rail.
Nathaniel McNamara raised to 240,000 in the cutoff with A♠9♠, Andrea Chait called in the big blind with K♣J♣.
McNamara fired out a bet of 225,000 on the J♥8♣Q♠ flop and Chait called. The action went check-check on the 4♥ turn but Chait lead for 375,000 on the 6♠ river and McNamara folded.
There was a three-way all in between Rob Gallo, Kevin Cronin, and Dennis Coleman. Gallo had both of his opponents covered.
Kevin Cronin: Q♠J♦
Dennis Coleman: 3♥3♦
Rob Gallo: A♥J♠
The flop came 9♣8♠J♣ with Gallo still out in the lead with top pair. The turn landed the 8♥ and the river brought the 10♥ with Cronin hitting a straight on the river to stay alive. Coleman's tournament run came to an end.
