Stuart [Removed:293] has just been eliminated. He was only left with 53,000 and decided to put them over the line after a player had raised to 30,000. "I've got three outs and a flush draw," mused [Removed:293] knowing the call was coming.

Andy Seth raised to 23,000 and Tommy Le shoved from the big blind for 117,000. A pause, a call, a couple marginal sorts of hands, and both players hit but Seth hit harder to send Le to the rail.

Emmett Hickey and his Panama hat have become our latest casualties. He got it in with against Andy Seth's , entirely failed to hit, and exited swiftly thereafter.
Benny Champlin made it 20,000 to go from UTG and then called Dustin Dirksen's 80,000 push. Champlin opened to Dirksen's . An on the flop and an on the river dashed Dirksen's hopes in this one.
