Talesh Patel

Johnny Landreth limped in from early position and Gourg Khanchat came along from the hijack before Talesh Patel moved all in for 19,000 on the button. Landreth called, while Khanchat tanked for a minute before folding.

Talesh Patel: A♥4♥ All in
Johnny Landreth: 10♦10♠

Patel was looking for an ace to stay alive, but instead Landreth spiked top set on the 10♣2♣5♠ flop. Patel needed to complete a straight draw, but he missed the A♦ turn and Q♣ river. Khanchat, meanwhile, then admitted he folded king-jack and would've made a straight.

Kelley Slay raised to 3,500 in middle position and an opponent in the hijack three-bet to 11,000. Slay then moved all in, and his opponent called for 30,000.

All-In Player: A♠J♥ All in
Kelley Slay: A♦K♦

The Q♣Q♠10♥ flop gave both players a straight draw, and Slay's king-kicker continued to play after the 4♥ turn and 8♣ river to earn him the knockout. "Bottom of my range, there," Slay said.

At the same time at another table, his wife Kelly had shoved for 44,500 in the hijack and Greg Robinson called under the gun.

Kelly Slay: J♥J♣ All in
Greg Robinson: A♦K♠

Slay was racing for her tournament life, but Robinson hit top pair on the K♥5♥2♦ flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 3♦7♦, and Slay was sent to the rail.

Charlie Townsend three-bet to 11,000 in middle position before David Vogel moved all in for 50,000 in the small blind. The rest of the table folded back to Townsend, and he called to put Vogel at risk.

David Vogel: Q♠J♥ All in
Charlie Townsend: K♦K♣

Vogel had run right into Townsend's kings, and the 5♣A♦5♦2♦Q♦ board offered no help as Townsend improved to a flush to send Vogel to the rail.

"That's just a cooler. Once the cards are turned over, anything could happen," another tablemate said.
