Caibin Ai:
"Gah!" said Ai, realizing his top pair, top kicker was in need of running outs to a full house or quads to stay alive in the tournament. The turn came blank to leave him drawing dead before the runout completed and he was congratulated on a well-played tournament, finishing in 13th place.

Spencer Champlin checked a board from the small blind, and Eluterio Rodriguez checked the big blind. Joe Cho jammed for 510,000, Champlin called and Rodriguez folded.
