After a few pre flop raises, Chris Bolek was all in and at risk for his last 180,000 chips. Steve Tabb had him covered, but Bolek had him dominated.
Showdown
Bolek: 

Tabb: 

The 

flop was a killer for Bolek - he couldn't even make a straight. He needed the case-king, but neither the
on the turn nor the
on the river did the trick. Bolek hit the rail, while Tabb is over 400,000 chips.

Mike Purdy open-shoved his last 100,000 or so, and a player behind him made the call. Hung Truong re-shoved from the small blind, the player who called was forced to fold, and the hands were turned over.
Showdown
Purdy: 

Truoing: 

The 

flop was a nice sweat, adding flush outs to Turdy's over cards. The
bricked on the turn, but the
completed the flush, tripling Turdy to 375,000.
Truong was unhappy with the result, but is still above 600,000 chips.

We're not sure how, but Daniel Buzgon has been eliminated from the tournament. Just moments ago a dealer was escorting him out of the ballroom, and we're assuming he's off to the cage to collect his money.
