St. Clair:
Pecaski:
St. Clair jumped into the lead on the flop and suddenly Pecaski was at risk for his tournament life. The on fourth street was of no help and he needed a jack on the river to stay alive. The river was the , though, and he was sent home in 19th place.
David Lim was all in and at risk before the flop holding . Lim was racing against Nick Halvorson's who made the call of Lim's all in.
Halvorson paired up on the flop and never relinquished his lead through the turn and the river. Lim was eliminated in 20th place meaning that we're one elimination away from being down to the final two tables.
