George Lind battled as long as he could. He got the last of his money in on sixth street with trip kings, but failed to fill up and lost to Valdimir Schmelev's ace-high flush and 7-5-4-2-A low to scoop. Lind earned over $43,000 for his 10th-place finish and Schmelev increased his stack to 370,000.
With nine players left, the players are bagging up and moving over to the main stage where they will recommence at one table.
