Stephen Chidwick: 
David Peters:

On a heads-up flop of 
, Ben Heath checked to Cary Katz, who bet 24,000.
Heath called and the two saw the turn 
. The action went check-check and they went to the river 
.
Heath checked to Katz once more, who slid out a bet of 50,000 leaving only 15,000 or so behind.
Heath went into the tank for a bit, then announced he was all in, covering Katz. Katz snap-called and flipped over 
for trip fours but was sick to his stomach when Heath rolled over 
for a rivered full house.
"Wow, bad river," he sighed as he stood up from the table while his chips were pushed over to Heath.

David Yan raised to 20,000 and quickly called when Nick Petrangelo moved all in to his left.
Nick Petrangelo: 
David Yan: 
Yan's pocket pair was ahead to begin the hand and the 
flop did not change anything. Petrangelo could not connect on the 
turn, while the river only improved Yan's holding to score the knockout.
Petrangelo's exit left the six remaining players on the money bubble.
