Chisholm Eliminated Right Before Break
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Kami Chisholm has just been eliminated on the last hand before the players were sent on a break. We caught the action from the turn, with a 
board showing and with Jack Ward leading out for 35,000. Chisholm called and a 
completed the board on the river. This time Ward checked, and Chisholm shoved for around 75,000. Ward instantly called, tabling his 
.
Chisholm held 
, with very little to combat Ward's aces and with that, Chisholm was eliminated in 21st place.

Appleman Plants Sklar
We caught the action on the 
flop when a short-stacked Richard Sklar got all in for 25,000 and was called by Mickey Appleman, who was also on a short stack.
Showdown
Sklar: 
Appleman: 
"Wow, I need a king," Sklar said when he saw Appleman held a bigger flush draw. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the 
appeared on the turn followed by the 
on the river. With that, Appleman chipped up to 100,000 and Sklar made his way to the payout desk in 22nd place.

Suppes and Klein Gone
Action folded to Roch Cousineau on the button and he raised to 18,000. Lester Suppes was in the big blind and three-bet the pot, leaving just 7,000 behind. Cousineau asked how much Suppes had left and then put in the small raise, prompting Suppes to call off.
Showdown
Suppes: 
Cousineau: 
The 
flop was disaster for Suppes as it gave Cousineau a set. Neither the 
turn nor river would change a thing and Suppes made his way to the payout desk in 23rd place.
Meanwhile, Loren Klein preceded Suppes out the door in 24th place.

Big Pot for ODB
Antonie Saout raised to 21,000 from middle position and was called by Roch Cousineau in the hijack, and David "ODB" Baker and Chris Bell in the small and big blinds respectively. When the flop fell 
, three checks put action on Cousineau and he bet 68,000.
Only Baker made the call and it was heads-up action to the turn. Baker thought for a few moments and bet pot, which was 220,000, and Cousineau hit the tank. He only had about 15,000 more than that, so a call essentially meant he would be putting his tournament life on the line. After about a minute, Cousineau slide his cards to the muck and conceded the hand.

"You Have to Gamble to Win This Tournament"
Viacheslav Zhukov opened for 17,000 and was met with a three-bet to 63,000 from Loren Klein on the button. Zhukov responded by moving all in for 179,000 total, and Klein said, "You have to gamble to win this tournament," before making the call.
Showdown
| Zhukov |    |
| Klein |  |
The board ran out 
and Klein no doubt wished he had waited to gamble in a different spot as Zhukov doubled on the hand.

Runner-Runner Spades Send Oliveira to the Rail
TJ Scarber opened for 20,000 from middle position only to have Marco Oliveira move all in for 33,000 from the hijack. The rest of the field got out of the way and Scarber made the call.
Showdown
Scarber:
Oliveira: 
The flop gave Oliveira a pair of sevens and the leads, but the running turn and river would give Scarber an ace-high flush and a low to scoop the pot. Just like that, Oliveira hit the rail in 25th place.
