The stacks were counted down, and Randolph's 120,000 narrowly had Neugebauer's remaining stack covered to send him to the rail.

Allan Lee moved all in from under the gun and Joshua Wyatt called for his last 80,000 in the small blind.

Joshua Wyatt: A♣10♦ All in
Allan Lee: 10♠10♣

"I'm going to stand up," Wyatt said, trying the same trick tablemate Matt Perlman successfully employed earlier. He missed the J♥4♣2♣8♣ board, but the river brought the A♦ to give him a pair and the double up.

Lee was left with around 50,000 after the hand and was eliminated shortly after. Bobby Nair also busted on another table.
