David "The Dragon" Pham has been sent to the rail in a bit of a cooler of a hand as described to us by ex-PokerNews reporter, turned poker phenom Anthony Yeh (so we're certain it's 100% accurate!).
A middle position player tossed out 325 with the intention to raise, but with the blinds now at 100/200, he was forced to make it 400 to play. Yeh called as did Pham in the big blind.
They saw a flop of 
and action checked around. The turn was a repeat 
and it was checked around again. However on the 
river, Pham checked to the preflop raiser who tossed out 1,150. Yeh folded but Pham wasn't done with quite yet. He check-raised and made it 3,500 to go. His opponent them moved all in to put Pham to a decision for his tournament.
Pham went into the tank for a long time before making the call with 
for a full house, but he'd been trumped by his opponent's 
for jacks full of aces. Pham is out.
, and Vohra continued out with a bet of 1,100. Two of his opponent called this time, while the third ducked out of the way.
, and Saul called one last bet of 6,500. Vohra turned up pocket aces, and Saul slid his cards into the muck, unable to beat that hand. That crippled Saul, and he was eliminated a few hands later.
, and both players held ace-queen. It was a dangerous situation for Baker, though, as Medic's 
was on a flush draw and freerolling for the pot.
, filling in that flush and doubling The Serb up to about 22,000.
, rivering the flush to knock Maimone down to just 1,700.
against Josh Tieman's 
was a disaster, though, and the river 
and Rast fired again for 6,000. Froehlich announced a raise which was big enough to put Rast all in. He obliged with a call and the cards were on their backs:
. He's been eliminated, and Rosenblum has climbed to 30,500.
