Kassela Eliminated by Player He Should Have Eliminated
Level 10
Just before the last break, Frank Kassela was busted from the tournament by Z Stein, who made a wheel to beat Kassela's nines and fours.
Stein alerted PokerNews to the bustout, not because of the significance of this hand, but because of one the duo played earlier in the tournament.
Stein said that Kassela had misread his hand in the earlier pot thinking he had just ace high, when in fact he had a winning flush versus Stein's aces-up. Kassela checked seventh street, leaving Stein with under one big bet, which he would have claimed had he bet and been called, which Stein said he would have.
Instead, Stein survived with 900 chips and ran it up to the point where he had Kassela covered in their most recent encounter as Stein eliminated the man whose mistake kept him alive in the tournament.

Pan and Hastings Chop Up and Eliminate Opponent
Level 12
A wild sequence of betting led to Brian Hastings all-in, Qinghai Pan potentially short, and another opponent also all-in.
Betting was capped on third street, then again on fourth street, leading to the player in seat two being all-in.
On fifth street, betting was again capped, leading to Hastings being all-in with Pan very short.
At that point, their boards read:
Seat two: 
/
Brian Hastings: /
Qinghai Pan: /
Once the hands were revealed and their boards completed,
Seat two: 
Brian Hastings: 
Qinghai Pan: 
Seat two's buried kings couldn't improve to beat Pan's two pair of aces and threes for high, while Hastings made a seven-low to take the low half of the pot.
