Stud-8:
Adam Friedman: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
Ware: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
After completing the bet, Friedman led out on every street and Ware called him down the whole way. On sixth street Friedman asked Ware, "How much you got?" and for a reply Ware simply mucked his hand. Apparently whatever draw Ware was fishing for failed to materialize and Friedman won the large pot without even needing to fire a bet.
This highly unusual hand crippled Ware and left him with only 30,000 chips, a stack which was reduced by a fourth on the next hand after Ware tossed in his 7,000 ante.

Stud-8:
Adam Friedman tried to eliminate the crippled Ron Ware on the very next deal, along with Aaron Steury, but Ware managed to score a chop in a hand of Omaha-8 to momentarily keep his tiny stack of 30,000 chips intact.
Level 26
Stud-8:
Adam Friedman is a persistent man and he tried once more to take Ron Ware out of the equation. Ware scored a scoop, however, in a three way hand and boosted his stack to 80,000 with his 
(X) for two pair.
With the tournament announcer lauding Ware as "the best all-in player he's ever seen," Ware has survived two consecutive all-ins against the same two opponents, which is a rare feat to say the least.
Level 26
Hold'em:
Ron Ware tried to make it three in a row for his tournament life, raising to 60,000 from under-the-gun. Aaron Steury reraised to 90,000 from the button to put Ware all-in.
Showdown:
Ware: 
Steury: 
Ware was in great shape with his pair of queens but the flop of 
was a mixed bag for the short-stacked player. He had dodged the deadly ace but Steury picked up a slew of additional outs with his four flush. Ware would now need to dodge a club or an ace on the turn and river to keep his momentous comeback alive.
Turn:
River: 
The turn ended the drama by completing Steury's flush and the ace on the river was simply overkill. Ron Ware exited in 5th place and will claim a prize of $60,036 for his run in this event. Steury now holds 1,570,000 chips after the win.

Hold'em:
Adam Friedman raised to 60,000 from under-the-gun and Jonathan Tamayo three-bet to 90,000. Friedman made the call and the flop came 
. Friedman checked the textured flop and Tamayo fired 30,000 into the pot. This was met by a call from Friedman and the turn card came 
.
This time Friedman led out for a bet of 60,000 and Tamayo decided to see the river card, making the call.
River:
Both players checked after the scare card arrived and Tamayo tabled his 
for bottom pair. Friedman held the for a pair of nines, which was enough to push the pot his way. This beat dropped Tamayo into the danger zone with only 150,000 remaining chips, while Friedman continued his ascent, climbing to 1,550,000 with the win.
Level 26
Omaha-8:
Aaron Steury made it 60,000 to go from the small blind and Jonathan Tamayo made the call, bringing a flop of to the table. Steury liked the look of this board and fired another 30,000 at Tamayo, who came along for the ride.
The turn card fell and Steury continued with the power play, betting 60,000 at Tamayo who finally surrendered. The loss dropped Tamayo to just 160,000 chips while Steury padded his million-plus chip stack.
Level 26
Razz:
Jonathan Tamayo: (X)(X) - 
Michael Chow: (X)(X) - 
Chow bet on third street and Tamayo came along. On fourth street, a series of bets and raises forced Tamayo all-in for his remaining chips and he tabled his hole cards: 
for a 2-3-4-8 low. Chow revealed his 
down cards for a 4-5-7-Q and Tamayo was well ahead.
The on seventh street completed Tamayo's hand, giving him a 2-3-4-5-8 low, and Chow's did not improve his hand. Tamayo scored a much needed double-up to move to 260,000, while Chow dropped to 820,000.
