A short-stacked Paul Jain opened for 600 from late position and Olesya Watchorn called from the button. The small blind came along, as did Larry Ormson in the big blind, and four players saw a flop of 
. Two checks saw Jain continue for 1,100, and only Watchorn made the call.
After the dealer burned and turned the 
, Jain moved all in for his last 1,200 and Watchorn made a hesitant call.
Watchorn: 
Jain: 
Watchorn had a gutshot straight draw, and she needed to hit it to overcome Jain's set. The 
river didn't do it, and Jain scored the much-needed double.

With 1,400 in the pot and a flop of 
, World Poker Tour Five Diamond champ Ravi Raghavan checked from the small blind and his opponent bet 750 from middle position. Raghavan made the call and then both players checked the turn as well as the 
river. Raghavan tabled the 
for a pair of aces, and it was good as his opponent mucked.
Meanwhile, Larry Ormson busted his first bullet. We're not 100% positive, but we have a feeling he'll jump back in action.

We saw Sam DeSilva making a beeline for the door, which is usually a sure sign of elimination. Sure enough, a quick check with his former table confirmed that he had just been eliminated by Rin Nguyen.
Nguyen informed us that he had held pocket threes and flopped a set while DeSilva flopped a pair of eights with 
. Another on the turn gave DeSilva trips, and then the two ended up getting it all in on the river. Nguyen's full house gave him the win, and DeSilva exited the tournament area. Whether or not he'll opt to use his reentry option remains to be seen.

Action folded around to Nicholas Palma on the button and he opened for 300. A short-stacked player then three-bet jammed for roughly 3,600 from the small blind, the big folded, and Palma announced a call.
Palma: 
Small Blind: 
Palma was in need of some help to score the elimination, and he found it when the 
flop delivered him the lead with a pair of kings. Neither the 
turn nor river helped the small blind, and Palma claimed the pot and elimination.

After a player in early position limped, MSPT Meskwaki runner-up Mike Holm raised to 550 from middle position. The player in the hijack called, the limper came along, and three players saw a flop of 
. The early-position player checked, Holm continued for 1,500, and only the hijack called.
Holm bet 2,000 more on the turn, and then upped it to 2,400 on the river after his opponent had called. Another call was made and Holm rolled over the 
for top pair and top kicker. His opponent simply mucked.
Holm has some support here at the MSPT Potawatomi as his beautiful blonde-haired wife has been cheering him on.
