While dealing, the dealer accidentally flipped up the that would have been Cory Mascagni's. After the dealer apologized and continued dealing, Mascagni limped in the pot. Gabriel Frank raised to 21,000 and it folded back around to Mascagni who instantly moved all in.
"I have to fold," remarked Frank, folding 
face up. Mascagni laughed and showed the table 
and scooped the pot.
Frank busted from the tournament a few hands later.
Action folded around to John Mitchell in the small blind who moved all in. In the big blind, Sai Wang replied by saying "If I have king-ten or better, I'm calling." Wang peeked at his cards, announced a call and turned up 
. He was racing against Mitchell's 
.
Wang jumped into the lead when the flop came 
and sustained his lead all the way through the turn and the river.
