In a five-way limped pot to the flop, there was a bet for 1,600 and two callers in Paul Elliott and Roland Israelashivili. Frank Kassela moved all in for 8,900 and Mike Watson raised the pot to put all other remaining players in the hand at risk. Elliott tank-called for less than Kasella and Israelashvili folded . Showdown:
Kassela:
Elliott:
Watson:
Neither the turn nor the river improved any of the two players at risk and Watson raked in the pot. He was even so kind to count the new stack for us as well.

"When it is not running well, it is not running well," said Bruno Portaro with a shrug after being eliminated by David Lim. The wild ride on the roller coaster came to an end after Portaro was all in for his last 6,500 on the turn with . Lim had and the on the river bricked.

We joined the action on the turn and Nathan Pan bet 3,500. Tolly Sakellario raised the pot to 14,500 and had only about 1,500 behind. Pan only flat-called and that surprised Sakellario. "Well I don't have the nuts yet," said Pan and they saw the on the river. Pan checked and so did his opponent.
Pan:
Sakellario announced "top two, tens and nines" and mucked his cards.

Tolly Sakellariou limped from the cutoff and that inspired Richard Johnston to do the same from the small blind. Brian Rast checked his option from the big and three players saw a flop of . Two checks saw the short-stacked Sakellariou bet 1,200, Johnston folded, and Rast check-raised to 5,000. Sakellariou called off his last 1,400 and the cards were turned up.
Rast:
Sakellariou:
The turn and river resulted in both men making a flush, but of course Rast's ace-high flush was the best. With that, Sakellariou bowed out of the tournament.
