We missed the hand(s) leading to David Sands elimination, but he has been sent to the rail after having over 100K in chips just a short while ago. He later Tweeted about his bustout.

We caught up with the action on a board in a three-way pot between Max Steinberg, Steve Brecher and another opponent.
Brecher checked from the big blind, as did Steinberg. The player in middle position fired 10,200 into the middle. Action was back on Brecher, who fell deep into the tank. He eventually announced he was all in for his last 36,000. Steinberg got out of the way Brecher's opponent called to put him at risk.
Brecher: for a flush draw.
Opponent: for a pair of sixes.
The river bricked for Brecher and he was eliminated.
