The action was folded one-by-one round to Thomas Ross who found a walk in the big blind.
"I had deuce-three!" stated Richard Lyndaker before Ross tabled his 
.
"I had ace-ten!" stated the normally aggressive Ricky Fohrenbach who was positioned on the button.
"Tell that f**king story to someone else!" laughed Ross as he happily collected the small blind and antes.
Mikhail Lakhitov opened the pot from the cutoff to 50,000 only to have Cary Katz move all in for 617,000.
Lakhitov deliberated for a few moments before eventually folding while slipping to 655,000 as Katz flashed his 
.
Joseph Kuether opened to 52,000 from the hi-jack only to have Jesse Channi three-bet to 115,000 from the cutoff. With the action on Carlos Mortensen, he moved all in for roughly 300,000 to force a fold from Kuether but a call from Channi.
Mortensen: 

Channi: 

There would be a slight sweat on the turn for Mortensen, but the final board of 



would ensure Mortensen would exit in 17th place for a $33,540 payday.
Richard Lyndaker opened the cutoff to 54,000 only to have Markus Gonsalves three-bet shove for 345,000. Lyndaker took his time before folding to see Gonsalves raked in the pot to move to over 420,000.
The next hand the action folded to Gonsalves in the small blind and he pushed all in. Farzad Bonyadi tank-folded to see Gonsalves' stack grow further.
Allen Bari opened the hi-jack to 48,000 and Brian Lemke made the call from the button to see a 

flop fall.
Bari fired out a continuation-bet of 52,000 and Lemke made the call as the
on the turn was checked through to Lemke who fired out 80,000. Bari check-called as the
landed on the river and Bari checked for a second time.
Lemke announced he was all in, and after some deliberation, Bari made the call for his 344,000 in chips.
Bari tabled his 
, which was enough to ensure the double to 1,050,000 after Lemke mucked his hand while slipping to 300,000.
Joseph Kuether entered the pot from the hi-jack for 52,000 only to be met with an all in raise from Simon Charette. Frank Rusnak followed suit by pushing from the big blind as Kuether quietly pushed his cards to the muck.
Charette: 

Rusnak: 

The board of 



would ensure that Charette fell to the rail in 16th place, earning himself $33,540 as Rusnak climbs to 885,000 in chips.
In a battle of the blinds we found Frank Rusnak shipping over 347,000 to Brian Lemke after a preflop all in clash.
Rusnak held 
to be in dominated shape against Lemke's 
, and when the 



board was spread, Lemke scooped the double to over 700,000 in chips.
On the flop of 

, Cary Katz check-raised Jesse Chinni's bet of 55,000 to 125,000. Chinni made the call to see the
fall on the turn and complete a possible flush draw. Katz checked and Chinni bet 110,000. Katz made the call.
The
paired the board on the river and after a couple minutes in the tank, Katz bet 50,000. Chinni seemed a little puzzled by the bet sizing and thought for a bit himself. He asked Katz how much he had left, which was 311,000, and then made the call.
Katz tabled the 
for trip eights, but that wasn't good against the 
that Chinni held for a flush.
