Daniel Dvoress raised to 6,000 and Kim Wittendorff then made it 16,000 to go out of the small blind before the Canadian shoved for another 50,000 on top. Wittendorff called and Dvoress was at risk in a coin flip scenario:
Dvoress: 
Wittendorff: 
The Dane was asking for a deuce on the 
flop and the 
turn, but it was not needed with the 
river blanking out for Dvoress as well.

Anton Bertilsson continues to dominate the top of the chip count after taking down two pots in a row, on two different tables. The last hand of his previous table saw the Swede bet 18,000 on the 
turn and Chance Kornuth check-called out of the blinds. On the 
river, Kornuth checked again and Bertilsson fired a bet of 34,000.
Kornuth made the call, but then mucked when he was shown the 
for a rivered set by his opponent.
Straight after, Bertilsson was moved to another table and faced a raise to 5,300 by Kevin MacPhee. Three players including the Swede in the small blind called and they checked the 
flop. Bertilsson bet the turn for 7,000 and that was enough to take down the pot.

We missed what happened, but Jason Mercier was kind enough to fill us in after Andrew Lichtenberger had already exited the tournament area.
"Yeah, really weird hand" Anthony Zinno commented with a smile.
Mercier, without any jokes, told us he opened the button to 5,200. Andrew Lichtenberger shoved for 47,000 from the big blind and Mercier called. Lichtenberger had 
while Mercier had 
off. The board ran out 
and Lichtenberger was the second player to bust out.
"Be sure to add that Jason fist pumped" Timothy Adams commented with an even bigger smile.
"I didn't" Mercier replied, as the table was waiting for a new player before play continued. Max Silver eventually came over to take Lichtenberger's former seat. "LuckyChewy" reentered right away, and has a crisp 250,000 stack to work with again.

Short-stackked Kyle Frey opened to 5,500 from middle position and saw a shove from Jean-Noel Thorel on the button. The blinds folded and action was back on Frey who made the call.
Frey: 
Thorel: 
"You know it's coming!" said Christophe Vogelsang, and it's safe to assume that Frey won't be buying the German a drink at the player's party tomorrow night as the 
appeared in the window. The entire board read 
and Frey headed to the exit

won the pot and he moved back above starting stack.

The flop was 
and Niall Farrell had bet 10,500. He got called by Kevin MacPhee, then Felix Bleiker reraised to 40,500. Farrell three-bet to 83,000, and action moved back to MacPhee, who tanked before announcing he was all in for his remaining 236,700. Bleiker folded and Farrell called.
"I've got big draws," Farrell said.
Farrell: 
MacPhee: 
Both players had flush draws, but Farrell had the added bonus of a straight flush draw, and if that didn't help him, a nine or five would help, too. However, it didn't matter in the end as the on the turn crippled his outs to one, and the was not it on the river.
