Defending Champ First Crippled, Then Eliminated
With 9,800 in the pot and a board reading 
, Dario Alioto checked and allowed David Singontiko to fire out a pot-sized bet. Alioto responded by moving all in for 15,100 and Singontiko made the call.
Showdown
Singontiko: 
Alioto: 
Alioto held the straight and had Singontiko drawing dead. The meaningless 
was put out on the river, and Singontiko was left with just 2,500. A couple of hands later, Singontiko was eliminated from the tournament.
