Frederick Vogt Eliminated in 97th Place ($62,061)
Fred Vogt had a memorable conclusion to Day 5 last night, nursing a super short stack to make a significant pay jump and then last into today's sixth day of play. He started today wearing his leather cowboy hat and an American flag-themed tie — rich in style, but no so much in chips.
On the second hand he was all in from the big blind with 
against Roman Valerstein's 
.
The flop came 
and turn 
. "Doesn't look too promising," said Vogt with the same big smile he was wearing last night. The river then brought the 
, and Vogt wished his opponents good luck as he left for the cashier's desk.

Ovseyevitz Doubles Through Foudoulakis
Max Ovseyevitz opened for 80,000 and was called by Manos Foudoulakis. It was heads-up action to the 
flop, which saw Ovseyevitz bet, Foudoulakis called, and the 
appeared on the turn.
This time Ovseyevitz checked only to move all in for 585,000 when Foudoulakis bet 120,000. The latter made the call and the cards were turned up:
Showdown
| Ovseyevitz |   |
| Foudoulakis |   |
Ovseyevitz was ahead with his pocket rockets, but Foudoulakis did hold an open-ended straight draw. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
on the river, allowing Ovseyevitz to double.

Schoder Moving Stack Around
Jonathan Schoder raised the action to 80,000 only to have Alban Juen three-bet to to 205,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way and it was back on Schoder.
Schoder shuffled a stack of chips while staring at Juen from across the table.
"I'm all in," Schoder said softly.
Juen flung his hand at the muck and Schoder was able to take down the pot.
