Eddy Sabat has just been knocked out. We caught up with the action just as Sabat was getting up out of his seat.
Sabat hand was 
against his opponent's 
on a 
board, revealing that Sabat was surely in some type of cooler situation.
Corey Burbick opened the action from early position to 2,800 only to have Steven Merrifield three-bet his button to 6,100.
With the action back on Burbick, he made it 13,800 to go only to have Merrifield instantly push out a stack of yellow 1,000-denomination chips amounting to a re-raise of 46,100. Burbick pushed for his 54,100 total and Merrifield made the call.

put Burbick in the lead, and when the 
and 
rolled off on the turn and river, Burbick doubled through to over 110,000 as Merrifield took a dive back down to under 80,000 in chips.

, a player in early position bet 3,300. Carlos Mortensen, who was in middle position, made a small raise to 8,300. His opponent thought it over, but landed on a fold.

From early-middle position, Brian Kim moved all in for his last 5,600. Action folded around to one of PokerNews' Rookie Roundup players Mickey Petersen in the small blind and he reraised all in for about 27,000. The big blind then called all in quickly after looking at his hand.

On player checked the flop of 
to Dave "Doc" Sands. Sands bet 2,400 and his opponent made the call. The turn brought the and the first player checked again. Sands bet 4,700 and his opponent called. The river completed the board with the and the first player checked to Sands once more. Sands checked behind.
There was some confusion as to which player would have to show first. Sands' opponent argued that it should be the last aggressor from the previous street. He even cited a ruling that was made that way yesterday in this event. At any rate, the floor was called over and the ruling was given that the player to the left of the button must show first, not the last aggressor on the previous street. The first player was upset, but had to show first. He revealed the 
for two pair and Sands mucked.
Why does this matter if he had the winning hand? Well, the first player would want to see what Sands was playing, but with this rule, he had to show first and Sands had the option to show or muck afterwards. In this case, Sands mucked when he saw he was beat.
