Coba Cao was all in with {3-Spades} {3-Hearts}, racing for his tournament life against the {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} of Chad Awerbuch. The board didn't pair Awerbuch, but it ran out {4-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. With two pair on the board, Cao's underpair was counterfeited, and he was left playing the board. Awerbuch's ace kicker played, good enough to send Cao home.

At the same time, Antoine Dugast was all in with {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} against the {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} of Joe Cada. The board ran down {7-Clubs} {2-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}, and Cada makes the winning pair of queens. Dugast becomes the latest victim of the Main Event, and the casualties are really starting to pile up here on Day 5.
