Alexander Jesionek: 5♥5♣
Josh Reichard: A♥J♦
Qing Liu: K♥K♣
Disaster had struck for former runaway chip leader Reichard as he had run into kings and was at risk of being eliminated after doubling up half the table. The flop of 8♥10♦9♥ made it a sweat as Reichard picked up an open-ended straight draw, but the brick runout of 3♣10♥ confirmed a double elimination for Liu.
