After a raise from one player at the table, Adam "Roothlus" Levy decided it was time to take his stand. He moved all in over the top with his short stack of 7,325 chips. Action folded around and the original raiser called.
Levy:
Raiser:
The flop came down clean for Levy when the dealer put out the . The turn was a sweat for Levy as even though it gave him a set, his opponent increased his outs fourfold as he could now hit a jack or a six for a straight. The on the river was safe for Levy though and with that he was able to double up.
It appears Levy was a little too ruthless though as just a few hands later he was eliminated. We saw him stand up from his table and make his exit from the Brasilia Room. Here's what he said about his bust out on Twitter:
Got it in with AKcc on the 544cc3 board against 1010 for 50k. Brick river. #superbuhhhFollow @Roothlus

After some strange preflop action, which included Stephen Cesaro betting orange T5,000 chips instead of T1,000 chips because he is color blind, Clint Tolbert was all in and at risk with . Cesaro, who admitted his mistake after the hand, had him at risk with .
The flop was rather harmless, and the on the turn was a great card for Tolbert who held the , but the spiked on the river to give Cesaro Broadway. Tolbert was quick to exit, while a stunned Cesaro pulled in the pot.
"Wow," Cesaro said, then referenced his color blindness: "That's never happened before."
