Tom Dwan was all in on fourth street against James Richburg, Their respective boards read the following:
Richburg: 
/
Dwan: 
/
Hard for Dwan to miss out on at least half of the pot with that starting hand. He hit the 
on fifth street to make a low and the 
on seventh street to make a straight, good enough to scoop and double to about 13,000. Richburg slipped to 21,000.

Marc Hodge: 
Larry Wright: 
- neither of those hands in any particular order
Marc Hodge was all in by fourth or fifth street; the rest of the cards were dealt and they chopped it up, Hodge taking the low and Wright taking the high. Hodge, who was chip leader for much of yesterday, remained hovering on a 5,000 short stack.
"This is a stupid game sometimes," he chuckled in explanation for what went wrong.
Stephen Su: 
in indeterminate order
Constantine Zdanowich: 
[ / 
/ (X)
Fred Koubi: 
/ 
/ 
Constantine Zdanowich and Fred Koubi were both all in on fourth street; Stephen Su called them both.
By the time all the cards were dealt out it was apparent that no-one could beat either Su's flush or his eight low, so Su scooped the pot and the other two players headed for the rail.
Su is at around 21,000.
A big pot escalating on a near table (15,000 already in the middle) lured me over like a cobra to a champion snake charmer, but when I arrived, we were already at a showdown. Nevertheless, it was Ronnie Brown (now on 30,000) who scooped with the diamond flush, whilst 'Eskimo' Paul Clark was left with 6,000.
Jan Sjavic: {X}{X}{X}/
- folded sixth street
Clark: 
/
Brown: {X}/
Moments later, Eskimo's final 6,000 followed the same path, trip tens no good against Jan Sjavic's flush. Eskimo threw his cards down firmly before leaving, shaking his head and briefly glancing over his shoulder to mumble a few disgruntled words to himself as he left. As he trundled into the hallway, I expect he continued to grumble, and would still be doing so back home in his igloo.
We arrived at the table and saw Tom Dwan call bets from Brandon Cantu on every street from fourth street on.
Dwan: {X}{X}/
/{X}
Cantu: {X}{X}/
/{X}
Cantu tabled 
for Aces and 7-5-4-2-A low and Dwan took a look at his down cards. "Oh s*** I misread my hand," Dwan said. He could not best Cantu's holdings and dropped down to 3,500. Cantu moved up to 28,000.
However on the next hand, Dwan got it all in against Esther Taylor on fifth street.
Dwan: /
Taylor: /
Taylor failed to hit anything to beat Dwan's trips and slipped to 22,000. With the double up, Dwan is back to just over 7,000.
Level: 10

Gregg Merkow:

Hamid Salari: {mucked}/
Allen Bari: /
The above players all reached seventh street of a pretty meaty chop, but in the end, only Salari was left penniless, Merkow and Bari chopping up the pot with the high and low respectively.
"Man, just a three or an eight to scoop the whole pot," wallowed Bari. "Who would have though that 10 would be the card?"
"Bailout," replied Merkow with a smile.
Merkow - 18,000
Salari - 31,500
Bari - 25,000
"Tell the wife I'm up to 29,000?" requested Peter Costa.
"Was it all in one hand?" I inquired, knowing he'd only started the day with 16,000.
"No, you know me, bit by bit."
"Kind of like Tim Robbins' escape from Shawshank."
"Yeah, poker's a bit like that. Oh, and tell her that Ivey's on my table [18,000], and I'm going to bust him soon."
Bruce Burke: / / 
Edward Clemente: / 
/ (mucked)
John D'Agostino: [ / /
Edward Clemente and John D'Agostino both found themselves all in by sixth street. Gina Hecht had been in the hand as well but reluctantly folded to the bet and raise ahead of her on sixth - she later told the table she'd folded aces. The rest of the cards were dealt and Clemente just mucked his last down card and after a while left the table, busted; Burke took the small side pot and he and D'Agostino chopped the main.
"Happy to chop with you sir," said D'Agostino, "We've been playing together a long time."
D'Agostino was at 19,000 after that, Burke at 6,000.
