Michael McKenna shoved all in for 83,000 from the cutoff. Kyle Miholich in the button gave it some thought before folding, but big blind Kyle Montgomery snap-called when action got to him.
Both players stood pat. "Ten," Montgomery announced.
"Ten what," McKenna replied as Montgomery showed . McKenna, though, had to become the latest short stack to find a double up.
"Lucky cold deck," McKenna said following the hand.
Tomas Szwarcberg raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Jon Kyte moved all in for his last 123,000 in the small blind.
Szwarcberg called then stood pat after Kyte drew one.
Szwarcberg showed , while Kyte showed , needing a six, five, or three to stay alive.
Unfortunately for the Norwegian mixed game star, he pulled a queen and was eliminated from the tournament, leaving the player one elimination away from a three table redraw.
Ian O'Hara open-jammed his last 215,000 from the hijack and was called by Thomas Newton in the cutoff.
O'Hara stood pat, and Newton had a decision.
"I like that", said O'Hara as he had faded a snap pat-back.
Newton opted to break and draw one, and O'Hara informed his opponent that he had to beat an eight-seven, as he showed , to which Newton replied, "I'm drawing dead", and tossed his cards in the muck.
Yosif Nawabi raised to 35,000 before Thomas Newton shoved all in for 278,000. Nawabi called and took one, while Newton stood pat.
Newton had a nine-seven, while Nawabi was looking to improve with . Instead, he paired his three and handed over a double up.
At the same time on another table, Eric Tipsword was all in for 174,000 against Shawn Buchanan. Buchanan was showing a ten and Topsword , and he drew a seven to stay alive.
Maxx Coleman raised to 30,000 in early position and was called by Adam Pritchett in the hijack. Roland Israelashvili then three-bet to 115,000 on the button.
Coleman folded, but Pritchett chose to call, leaving himself just under 100,000 behind.
Pritchett needed to draw one, while Israelashvili stood pat.
The post-draw action was checked and Israelashvili showed for the winner as Pritchett said he paired.
Pritchett would get his chips back shortly after however, as he moved all in for his final 95,000 under the gun, receiving action from Kane Kalas in the small blind who moved all in. Coleman folded his big blind and Pritchett was officially at risk.
Each player drew one, and a queen for Pritchett looked to be in trouble until Kalas revealed a king, sending the double up to Pritchett.
Heads-up after the draw, Jon Kyte put out a bet of 75,000 and action was on Shawn Buchanan.
Buchanan assembled two towers of chips and slid them forward, a raise totaling 225,000.
"F**k! You gave me my perfect card, too," Kyte yelled. The Norweigan went into the tank for nearly five minutes, counting down his stack and asking Buchanan how much he had behind.
He eventually picked up his original bet and placed the chips on top of Buchanan's tower, giving up the pot. "Show me the pair of eights," he said, but Buchanan returned his cards face down.
