Brandon Cantu was knocked down to just a few thousand chips after losing a big hand against David Bach, and we just saw him hit the rail.
Three players went to fourth street and it was Barlow who bet, Cantu raised and Bach folded his cards. Barlow called and on fifth street he lead out and Cantu tanked for quite a long time before making the call with just 1,500 chips left behind.
"You want to put in the rest blind?" Cantu asked, and Barlow obliged.
Barlow: /
Cantu: /
Bach: (X-X) / — fold
What followed went by very quickly and Barlow ended up with a nine-eight low while Cantu missed his draw to a better nine-eight.
On seventh street Brandon Shack-Harris bet out 10,000, and with only 13,000 in his stack, Watson deliberated for several minutes before making the call.

Brian Hastings, Hoyt Corkins and Stephen Chidwick just created some fireworks on third street, which resulted in the latter being all in for his tournament life.
When Hastings announced, "five bets" it was time for Chidwick, who was caught in the middle of this raising war, to commit his final chips to the pot. Corkins called the raise and all three players went to fourth street.
Hasting bet fourth, Corkins called and on fifth he check-called a bet. On sixth street Corkins check-folded and Hastings showed for a six-five low. Chidwick tabled and he was drawing dead. Seventh street was meaningless and Chidwick left the tournament room empty handed.
