Eric Buchman opened from late position before Irishman Thomas Finneran three-bet shoved for 70,000 more from the big blind. Buchman tanked for nearly a minute before finally making the call and the hands were turned over.
Buchman: 
Finneran: 
The 
flop was safe for Buchman's wired sixes, and Finneran even stood up from his seat half-admitting defeat. The Irishman took his seat again after the 
spiked on the turn though, and Buchman uttered a few choice words directed at lady luck.
The 
on the river didn't change anything and Finneran doubled his stack to 150,000 chips. Buchman, despite losing the flip, is still very healthy with 500,000 chips.

We didn't catch the hand, but the seat formerly occupied by Hoyt Corkins is empty and void of chips. We don't see him anywhere in the room, so it all adds up to one thing . . . he has been eliminated.

Eugene Katchalov opened with a raise to 18,000 only to have Victor Ramdin move all in for 36,000. Another player flatted and Katchalov came over the top. The player caught in the crossfire folded 
face up, leaving Ramdin heads up against Katchalov for his tournament life:
Ramdin:
Katchalov: 
The 
ended any suspense quickly as Katchalov flopped a full house. The 
turn left Ramdin drawing dead and the was put out on the river for good measure. Just like that, there was one less Team PokerStars Pro in the mix.
