As we were posting the outcome of the final two table seat draw, four players were unable to keep their stacks alive.
Most noticeably, Igor Kurganov is no longer in the hunt. Kurganov was the last player to enter and immediately took over the chip lead. All of Kurganov's chips are now dispersed among the remaining players.
Joining Kurganov on the rail was Jeff Gross, Sam Greenwood, and Kevin Hobbs.
The beneficiaries appear to be Steve O'Dwyer, Jean-Noel Thorel, and Benjamin Pollak.

Scott Seiver opened to 24,000 from early position and received calls from Byron Kaverman in the small blind and Adrian Mateos in the big.
The flop fanned out

Seiver went deep into the tank requiring six time bank chips before eventually making the call.
Kaverman tabled 
, rivering a gutshot straight and Seiver mucked.
