Coming back from our last break, Kyle Loman was playing the extreme short stack and needed to make some moves in order to survive. On a hand of Stud-8, Loman got it all-in against two opponents who checked it down trying to eliminate the vulnerable player. Loman's final board read 
and his two pair were good enough for a chop, after one opponent tabled the 
for a 2-4-6-7-8 low.
In the very next hand, this time playing Hold'em, Loman raised to 8,000 from late position and was three-bet to 12,000 by the button. Loman made the call and we saw a flop of 
. The button bet enough to force Loman all-in and showed down the 
, which was far ahead of Loman's

Stud-8:
Rouhani: (X)(X) - 
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
On third street the action began to heat up, as the opponent bet 3,000 and Rouhani raised to 6,000. This move was met by a three-bet to 9,000 and a four-bet to 12,000 by Rouhani. The opponent tried to go all-in for his last few chips but the betting had been capped and he would have to wait until fourth street was dealt to risk his tournament life.
Rouhani made the easy call and both players received their seventh street cards. Rouhani quickly tabled the , meaning he was playing a pair of aces for the high and an A-3-4-5-7 low. His opponent squeezed his last card for a few seconds but could not find any improvement, and he mucked his cards face down before standing to shake Rouhani's hand.

David Bach has collected more chips, sending Yuval Bronshtein to the payout desk in the process.

Bronshtein was already all in and Bach bet his trips, getting called by the other player in the hand. On seventh street Bach bet, again getting called by the third player in the hand. Bach tabled 
, completing a 6-4-3-2-A low to go with his trip 6's, good enough to scoop the entire pot.

Stud:
We caught up with the action as Timothy Sullivan and an all-in [Removed:362] were involved in a hand of seven card stud, with Sullivan's opponent squeezing his seventh street card to see if he had made a flush.
Sullivan: 
[Removed:363]: 
With Sullivan showing two pair, aces and kings, [Removed:363] knew exactly what he needed to catch in order to survive: any diamond for a flush or any queen for trips. As is tradition in stud games, Sullivan exposed his seventh street card first to show [Removed:363] if he was drawing live or not. The 
changed nothing and Sullivan stood up in anticipation, yelling "make it a black card dealer, no red, no red!"
[Removed:363] squeezed his last down card as slowly as possible, praying to see a shiny diamond or a beautiful queen. When he began to frown and shake his head, Sullivan knew he was safe and retook his seat. [Removed:363] flipped up his 
and knocked the table, offering a "good game sir" as he departed for the cashier's cage for a 50th place finish.
Sullivan later told us that he "had never played this game before, except for a $100 satellite yesterday" which he used as a primer to teach himself the basics of H.O.R.S.E. With over 150,000 chips after this hand, Timothy Sullivan will likely have plenty of time to keep learning as he advances deeper and deeper in this event.
