Erhan Iscan, Jerry Payne, and a third player went all-in before the flop, and it was all about luck now.
Erhan Iscan: 
Jerry Payne: 
Third player: 
The dealer put out a 
board, which gave a full house to Iscan.
He scooped the pot, and he's now back to a similar number of chips that he had in front of him a few hours ago.

Daniel Cordaro was at risk when all of his chips were in the middle, with 
against the 
of his opponent.
The flop came down 
and did not give a lot of opportunities for Cordaro to survive. However, 
turn and the 
river gifted him a backdoor flush, which cracked his opponent's aces!
Cordaro now has an above-average stack.

The charming Shaun Colquhoun, who finished 4th in the 2022 World Series of Poker Event #1: $500 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold'em, came to the PokerNews desk to let us know he had been eliminated on the stone bubble.
After having 850,000 chips earlier in the day, Colquhoun was down to his last 145,000 or so. After Adam White opened in early position, Colquhoun called from the big blind, and the flop came down 
. Colquhoun jammed all-in for around 130,000. White snap-called, and cards were tabled.
Shaun Colquhoun: 
Adam White:
The turn and river didn't help Colquhoun, and he became the unfortunate bubble boy. All players have now locked up $1,280.
Play continues until the end of Level 22 today.
