Meanwhile, one table over, Keith Becker was all in and at risk against Jebadiah Steward.

Thomas Abbas opened to 2,400 from under the gun, and Craig Seltzer made the call on the button. Lavern Wasson came along in the small blind, while Tim Faro defended his big blind to see the K♦7♣J♣ flop.
Action checked around to Seltzer, who fired a bet of 4,000. Only Faro continued to the 8♣ turn, where both players declined to bet.
Faro watched the 4♠ river hit the felt, and tossed out a minimum bet of 1,200. That produced a fold from Seltzer, as Faro raked in the pot.

Three-way action was checked through the 5♦7♠Q♥ flop, with Yosef Kamil leading out from the small blind for 4,200 on the 10♠ turn.
Warren Vedilago made the call in the big blind, and Michael Sheets raised to 13,000 on the button. Kamil slid in a call, while Vedilago got out of the way.
Kamil then announced all in on the 7♦ river, and Sheets called instantly. Kamil tabled A♣7♣ for trip sevens, while Sheets turned over Q♠Q♦ for a full house to take down the pot.

Joseph Strazzire checked the 7♠A♣7♦ flop from the big blind, and Jamie Shughart slid out a single 1,000 chip. Strazzire called to the 8♣ turn, where both players checked.
Strazzire then led out for 4,000 after seeing the 5♠ river, good enough to claim the pot as Shughart let his hand go. At nearby tables, Richard Wilburn and Chris Sarago were seen heading to the exit.

Moments after eliminating Steven Pheasant with a straight, Yosef Kamil fired 4,000 into a four-way pot on the 8♠9♦6♥ flop. Christopher Coles was next to act, and moved all in.
Action folded back to Kamil, who quickly called and turned over his hand.
Christopher Coles: A♣9♣
Yosef Kamil: 10♠7♠
Kamil showed down his flopped straight, and Coles could not find any help on the 6♦ turn or 3♦ river to hit the rail.

Steven Pheasant: A♦9♦
Yosef Kamil: 6♦4♥
