After some contemplation Hanks raised and put out a stack of yellow chips making it 20,000 total. Hank's opponent immediately went all in and Hanks called just as fast.
Hanks:
Opponent:
Hank's opponent held top set of queens, but Hanks wasn't completely out of it as he still was drawing to a nut flush. The turn gave Hanks a pair, but it was not the kind of card he needed. A river was another miss and Hanks was forced to give a lot of chips away.

After a short stack moved all in for 3,700 David Pham was nice enough to give him some protection and reraise making it 8,000 to anyone who wanted to deliver a knock out blow. Pham wasn't able to get any takers and cards were tabled.
Pham:
Short Stack:

Bucherl had several stacks of 100-denomination chips and he patiently waited as the dealer counted them out, only to learn that his opponent had him covered, and his tournament life was over. Clearly disappointed, he made his way through the crowd toward the rail.
On the flop, Martin Kabrhel fired a bet of 3,600. His opponent, Raymond Spencer, made the call to see the fall on the turn. Kabrhel fired 12,000 and Spencer tanked for a minute before folding his hand.
