Seat 1: Jeff Lisandro
Seat 2: (Unknown)
Seat 3: Nick Binger
Seat 4: Harris Pavlou
Seat 5: Roy Winston
Seat 6: Nenad Medic
Seat 7: (Unknown)
Seat 8: Shane Schleger

The players have now been scattered amongst the remaining 12 tables.

From Second in Chips to Out

donpeters

Harris Pavlou began the day second in chips, but has failed to make it to the first break as he just recently busted.

Pavlou was all in holding pocket jacks against Jason DeWitt's {A-?}

. The action was unknown, but a king on the flop, a king on the turn, and an ace on the river was what did Pavlou in and sent him to the rail.

DeWitt on the other hand, has 300,000 in chips.

How Did Schwartz Miss?

[user75032]

The chips were all in preflop between short-stacked Noah Schwartz and his slightly shorter-stacked opponent. "I don't have much," said Schwartz as he opened {A-Clubs}

. His opponent showed {7-Hearts}

.

There were some murmurings from the table on a flop of {j-Spades}

. Those murmurings grew louder when the turn paired the board, {J-Hearts}

.

"Now that's a sweat card," remarked Tony Dunst.

With Schwartz's opponent cringing, the dealer burned and turned a blank river, {7-Diamonds}

. Schwartz was forced to pay of 15,500, leaving just 3,000 in his stack.

"Any card eight or higher except a jack," said Schwartz. "So sick."

Tehan, Gowen Hit The Rail

[user22113]

Karga Holt opened the pot to 4,100, Clonie Gowen then went all in for her remaining 21,000. Holt made the call.

Holt: {8-?}

Gowen:

The board would brick out for Gowen and she is sent to the rail.

At the same time at the adjacent table we found Joe Tehan all in on the turn for around 40,000 with the board reading {9-Hearts}

. His opponent Tim Horan tanked for a minute or two and made the call.

Tehan showed {8-Hearts}

for middle pair and a heart flush draw.

Horan showed {J-Diamonds}

and gave a solid fist pump when he saw he was leading.

The river was {4-Spades}

and Tehan is eliminated.

Bansi Holds

[user75032]

We're not sure how the chips all wound up in the middle between Praz Bansi and Peter "Nordberg" Feldman. We just know that on a flop of {5-Hearts}

, Bansi was ahead with {9-Hearts}

and needed to fade a heart against Feldman's {8-Hearts}

. Neither the turn {4-Diamonds}

nor the river {8-Clubs}

was a heart, allowing Bansi to take down the pot with two pair, tens and nines.

Bansi is up to about 90,000 now, while Feldman has fallen to 67,000.

Noah Schwartz Eliminated

donpeters

Action folded around to Noah Schwartz in the small blind and he slammed the last of his stack into the middle of the table. "I hope you have seven, three." said Noah to the big blind. The big blind then looked and called holding {A-Clubs}

. Schwartz had pocket fours.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}

, setting up Noah, but giving his opponent a straight and flush draw. The turn brought the {9-Hearts}

and then the river was the {Q-Clubs}

, completing both the flush and straight against Schwartz.

"It wasn't meant to be, it just wasn't meant to be." commented Schwartz as he paid his masseuse and exited the tournament area.
