McLean Karr, who began the day with one of the big stacks, raised to 4,500 under the gun and received calls from three players, one being Erick Lindgren. When the flop fell 
, action checked to Karr and he bet 12,700, which Lindgren and Chris Bell both called.
After the dealer burned and turned the , Karr checked, Lindgren bet 24,000, Bell folded, Karr potted, and Lindgren called all in for 67,500.
Karr: 
Lindgren: 
Lindgren was ahead with his flopped set and just needed to dodge a six, seven, and three on the river to survive, which is what he did when the peeled off. Just like that, Lindgren was sitting on a big stack while Karr was crippled.

We heard the dealer yell, "All in and a call, Table 281." When we made our way over, we saw Will "The Thrill" Failla with 
laid out in front of him on a board reading 
. It was apparent that he had double, through Dwyte Pilgrim as it turned out.
Failla is still short with 21,000.
Marco Traniello called Annette Obrestad's opening raise to see a flop of 
. Traniello check-called a 5,000 bet from Obrestad. The turn fell and both players checked. The 
fell on the turn, Traniello checked, Obrestad bet 12,000 and Traniello called.
Traniello tabled 
and Obrestad mucked her hand. She is around 56,000 and Traniello is close to 80,000.
James Dempsey raised in early position only to have Annette Obrestad reraise from the hijack, Dempsey then moved all in for around 28,000, Obrestad called, and the cards were revealed.
Dempsey: 
Obrestad: 
Dempsey was in big trouble and desperately needed a six to improve his tournament outlook. The 
flop was no help, and neither was the turn. Dempsey needed a six in the river to stay alive, but it was the that appeared.
Likewise, Vladimir Shchemelev was recently eliminated from the tournament.

Phil "Unabomber" Laak was all in preflop holding 
against the 
of Masa Kagawa. A small pocket pair has been gold in these situations, and that'd prove to be the case yet again as the board ran out 
.
Just like that, the Unabomber was eliminated from the tournament; however, he is still hanging around the area and chumming it up with the like of Sorel Mizzi and McLean Karr over at Table #295 . . . which actually just broke.

James Dempsey raised under the gun only to have Sam Stein reraise from the big blind. Dempsey called off for 800 more and it was off to the races.
Dempsey:
Stein: 
We've been waiting for the overcards to crack the small pocket pair in these flips for quite some time, but it was not about to happen here. The board ran out clean for Dempsey as it came , giving him a much-needed double.

Isaac Haxton moved all in on the river with the board reading 
. Men Nguyen called, tabling 
, rivering a second pair. Haxton showed 
and his day was done.
Nguyen is above the 100,000 mark and is quietly sipping a beer sitting next to Daniel Negreanu.
