Before today, Myles Mullaly and Jesse Lonis were the only two players to have cashed in all three Poker Masters events so far. Mullaly's streak came to an end earlier in the day, leaving Lonis as the last player with a chance to keep his perfect cashing record intact.
However, Lonis' run also came to an end after he got his short stack in preflop against Victoria Livschitz. Lonis held 7x7x and was flipping against Livschitz's Ax10x, but an ace on the flop left him needing one of the two remaining sevens. Neither the turn nor river came to his rescue, bringing his streak to an end.
