With his stack grown short, Allen Kessler found himself in a three-way pot with Isabelle Mercier and Rafi Amit. Mercier was showing
; Amit was showing 
. Kessler looked the situation over and said that he knew he was beat, that there was no way he could win the hand...so he folded. And that left him with just 3,000.When the hand was over Mercier did show down a flush and Amit a wheel, so Kessler saved that 3,000. What he can do with it from here on out remains to be seen. Chip and a chair, as the saying goes...

fell on the river Dehkharghani tanked for well over a minute before making the call.Oppenheim turned over
for the flush and Dehkharghani flashed the 
before mucking. He slipped to 230,000 while Oppenheim lifted his stack to a nearly-identical 220,000.
The exact action is unclear but Michael Binger and Marcel Luske just got mixed up in a pot that resulted in Binger's departure.
With a final board of
, Binger showed 
. It was second-best however, as Luske's 
had earthy tones, a smooth draw, and enough kick to win him the high and the low.
Two of our shorter stacks mixed it up as Thor Hansen raised before the flop and Ralph Perry called from the small blind. The flop came
and when Perry bet out Hansen called. The turn was the , again Hansen called Perry's bet, but when the 
fell on the river and Perry bet out Hansen threw out a raise. Perry called, to find that Hansen flopped a set of aces with 
to take the pot. Thor is up to 75,000 while Perry slipped to 40,000.
