On fourth street, Brooks bet, and both opponents called. On fifth, Wong led out with his open pair of fours, Brooks folded, but Phan came along. Phan would call one more bet each on sixth and seventh streets.
In the end, Phan tabled for a naked pair of fives. It was the winner though; Wong had just his pair of fours, dropping all the way down to 40,000.
Matt Glantz is frustarted and Hasan Habib is running good. Glantz' frustration shown through at showdown, after he called big bets on fifth, sixth and seventh streets from Habib. Habib's board came (X-X) / / (X), which was good for two pair when he rolled over . Glantz just clenched his fists in frustration and mucked (X-X) / / (X).

He couldn't beat three nines with his hole cards and is out in 15th place.
Matt Glantz - 14th Place
We admittedly missed the action, as this hand developed quickly. What we do know is that Matt Glantz had made trip queens, betting himself all in. Hasan Habib looked him up, running down kings full to send Glantz home in 14th place. He received a little pay bump, taking home nearly $25,000 for his work over the last two days.
Eric Brooks -13th Place

Mel Judah - 12th Place
Mel Judah didn't have many chips left when he caught the bring-in, so he did the only thing that he could: he completed all in. Hasan Habib called with the door card, but then folded to Max Pescatori's raise with the . It was split kings for Pescatori, and they held up to knock Judah out in 12th place.
