When we came to George Lind's table, he was committing the last of his chips on fourth street and two opponents were still involved in the hand, including Eli Elezra.
Lind watched on as Elezra and the other player committed a bet on fifth street, with Elezra folding on sixth street.
Lind's in the hole was good enough to make him a seven-five low to take down half the pot, while his opponent's was good for two-pair and the high half of the pot.
"Only win half the pot and i practically double," said Lind as he took down the small amount of chips to survive.
A woman limped from the under-the-gun position only to have Andrey Pateychuk, who was next to act, put in a raise. Action folded around to the defending champ, Aaron Steury, in the cutoff and he three-bet. The big blind opted for a four-bet, both the UTG and Pateychuk called, and Steury moved all in for just 100 more. Three calls ensued and then the big blind led out on the flop.
Two calls were made before the appeared on the turn. Again the big blind bet, UTG called, and Pateychuk moved all in for 1,900 total. Call, call.
The river saw the big blind bet yet again, which the UTG player called only to muck when her opponent revealed for a full house and the nut low. Pateychuk mucked as well, signifying his elimination, while Steury showed for an inferior full house and the same low.

When we arrived at Allen Cunningham's table it was showdown time during a Stud Hi/Low hand and Cunningham and one player were busy showing their hands.
Cunningham:
Opponent:
Cunningham's opponent held a wheel, but Cunningham's full house was strong enough to take down the high end of the pot.
We didn't catch the hand, but we can confirm that the 2009 winner of this event, James Van Alstyne, has been eliminated from the tournament. Likewise, Matt Hawrilenko has been sent to the rail.
hoss_tbf Matt HawrilenkoBusted. Pretty happy with my play, excited for. 4 max tomorrowJune 13 2012
When we arrived at Aaron Steury's table, the defending champ had a out in front of him and was faced with a complete by an opponent behind him who was showing an . Steury then raised it up and his opponent quickly made it three bets to go. Steury then flicked in his last remaining chips and the two players turned their hands over.

Opponent: //
By the time fifth street had rolled around, Steury had got to his feet and started making his way out of the tournament area.
Even though he just busted, we thought you might like what the 2011 $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. champion had to say about this year's event over the dinner break in the latest PokerNews Podcast.
