Lee Markholt Eliminated

Nick Rampone raised it up, and Lee Markholt moved all-in for his last ~3,100. Rampone called, tabling {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades}. Markholt was in good shape to double up with a dominating {A-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. It wasn't meant to be though, as a queen on the flop would put Markholt out the door.

Nick Rampone advances out of that pairing.

Greg "FBT" Mueller - Eliminated
Greg Mueller raised to 1,200 from the button, and Chris Ferguson came along to the flop. It brought {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. Ferguson checked, and Mueller continued out with a bet of 2,100. Ferguson check-raised to 7,000, and Mueller moved all in. It was an additional ~7,000 to Ferguson, and he made the call to put Mueller at risk.

Showdown
Mueller: {A-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Ferguson: {Q-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

Mueller was in the lead with his ace high, but he had to fade Ferguson's outs two times. The turn was a safe {3-Diamonds}, actually adding a few chop outs for Ferguson. "One time, hold!" implored Mueller, but the dealer did not oblige. The {4-Hearts} hit the river to give Ferguson the winning flush and send Greg Mueller out the door.
