Mike Pritchett raised to 8,000 from under the gun and both Tracy Sibon on the button and Kannon McCavit in the big blind called.

Pritchett's top pair was good on the flop but the turn K gave Sibon a king-high straight. Pritchett couldn't hit his flush on the 3 river and he was left with just two big blinds after the hand. He was eliminated shortly after.

At the same table, Alec Magdan's quest for a fourth bag came up short as he was eliminated shortly after.
