We're witnessing more doubles than the Bad Beat Bar now as Justin Zaki emulates the success of fellow short stack David Ventura with a double up of his own. Michael Linn was once again the victim, his open from the cut-off reraised all in on the button by Zaki. Ventura made the call and the hole cards were revealed.
Zaki: 
Linn: 
Board: 
Linn loses another pot and is down to 1,240,000, whilst Zaki increases his stack two-fold to 500,000.
Jonathan Spinks opened from the cutoff for 35,000 and Manuel Cadilhe defended his big blind.
The flop fell down 
and following a Cadilhe check, Spinks fired out 55,000.
Cadilhe made the call before both players checked the on the turn and 
on the river to see Cadilhe table his 
to collect the pot and move to 590,000 as Spinks slips to 680,000.
Mihai Manole has bust another player; Sean Prendiville was the recipient of his wrath and consequently departs in 20th. Manole, meanwhile, now boasts more chips than the Lay's factory with just over two million.
Roberto Stamerra opened to 115,000 from the button only to have Alexander Kuzmin make it 171,000 from the big blind.
Stamerra committed his last 50,000 and we were off to a showdown.
Stamerra: 
Kuzmin:
The board ran out 
to see Stamerra eliminated in 19th place.
The wonderfully named Clint Coffee raised under the gun to 40,000 and Ronald Chaves flat called from the button, only for Karl Fenton to moved all in from the small blind. Coffee also shoved and Chaves made the fold.
Fenton: 
Coffee: 
Board: 
Fenton went off to the rail to be congratulated by a member of the rail, but in doing so, triggered a brief moment of confusion as the dealer began to push the pot the wrong way, but, in the end, the chips ended up in the right place and Fenton doubled through to 575,000. Coffee's stack, however, has been dissected in half; he's now back down to 240,000.

Things are going from bad to worse for Jonathan Spinks who is struggling to win a hand. After being check-raised off a flop by neighbor Ronald Chaves, Spinks raised it up to 35,000 from late position a couple of hands later and was called in the big blind by Taylor Larkin. Both players checked the 
flop, but Spinks folded to a lead of 60,000 on the 
turn to leave himself with 450,000.
With the action folding around to Clint Coffee on the button, he opted to push all in for a total of 262,000, but was quickly pursued by small blind Joel Bidnick who also announced all-in from the small blind. After the big blind had folded, cards were thrown onto the felt, Bidnick a nose hair in front with 
versus .
The board was more thrilling than a journey on Space Mountain, a sadistic dealer teasing with a 
flop, putting Bidnick ahead with a 
turn, before delivering a hopes-crushing on the river.
Bidnick now up to 650,000.
