Jerry Buss started a hand with about 2,700 and was all in against two opponents going to seventh street, one of which was Eli Elezra. The third opponent missed his draw and mucked his hand, Elezra showed two pair, Nines and Eights. Buss began to peel his last card and when he was finished he confidently fanned out three diamonds, cards that completed his flush to "triple" up and scoop the near 9,000 chip pot.
Elezra is still healthy with about 19,500 but would have been one of the larger stacks in the room had he won that hand.
Forrest called bets on every street but seventh - where both players checked - and mucked when his opponent tabled for a pair of queens. Forrest is very short now, sitting with only 2,400 in chips.

We walked in on the floor making a ruling at a table with Brandon Adams, Shaun Deeb, and Bryan Devonshire. Adams was all in with a board showing for a pair of queens and Deeb showing for aces and tens. The controversy occurred when Devonshire, who was not involved in the hand, said that the dealer did not burn a card before dealing seventh street.
Even though the dealer said she did, the cards were counted and indeed the dealer did not burn a card. As a result, the cards on seventh street were shifted around, and Deeb, who had just a pair of sixes at the time, got the to make two pair. That bested Adams, eliminating him from the tournament.
Understandably, Adams was not pleased with the result, and refused to leave his chair until he was given a sufficent explanation of the ruling. About five minutes after the controversial seventh street was dealt, Adams finally succumbed to his fate, and left the tournament area.
