Vince Burgio Eliminated in 16th Place ($6,237)

Vince Burgio was crippled in a four-way pot when he missed all of his draws and could only come up with a pair of threes for high and no low. The very next hand, he brought it in with the {2-Clubs} and found three other callers. By fifth street, Burgio was all in against just one opponent -- Daniel Nicewander.

Burgio: {10-Diamonds} {5-Spades} / {2-Clubs} {4-Spades} {8-Spades}
Nicewander: {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} / {J-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

Burgio was in rough shape, needing to catch a low card to guarantee himself half of the pot. He couldn't do it, catching the {10-Spades} and {Q-Clubs} to finish with a pair of tens and no qualifying low. Nicewander's three jacks were best and eliminated Burgio from the tournament.

For his efforts, Burgio will collect $6,237.

Redraw!

The dealers are redrawing for two tables of eight each. One of these tables will have to disappear before play ends for the evening.

Men Nguyen Eliminated in 17th Place ($4,752)

Men "the Master" Nguyen - 17th Place
Men "the Master" Nguyen - 17th Place
It's a tough way to go out when you make a low in this game. Yet that's what happened to Men Nguyen. He was all in on fifth street with {A-Spades} {8-Clubs} / {2-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Mike Hefer, who was the only player to come that far with Nguyen, made the call with a nice hand of his own: {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs} / {7-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. Hefer had a pair of sixes, and was four to a low, four to a flush, and four to a straight. He hit the low on sixth street when he caught the {A-Diamonds}, and made two pair on seventh with the {7-Hearts}.

Nguyen bricked out the rest of the way, finishing second-best for high and low. He is eliminated in 17th place and earns $4,752.

Larry Kozlove Eliminated in 18th Place ($4,752)

Larry Kozlove had been short pretty much the whole day. He rode that short stack as far as it would take him -- 18th place. Kozlove was finally all in on third street with split nines and James Richburg, who had brought it in with {8-Clubs} {Q-Spades} / {7-Spades} and elected to make the call to try to knock out Kozlove. Both players finished with two pair, but Richburg's queens and jacks were better than Kozlove's nines and deuces.

Kozlove walks away with $4,752.
