A short-stacked Carol Fuchs was involved in a heads-up tussle with table neighbour Ian Johns. When she caught a pair of tens on sixth, she bet and Johns called. Fuchs bet again the final street and Johns folded after brief consolation.
That left Wilson Igwe as the shortest stack on the table and he was eliminated shortly thereafter by Robert Mizrachi.

Bryce Yockey and Shirley Rosario were in a battle of the blinds on a flop showing ![]()
![]()
. Yockey check-called a bet from Rosario to the
turn, and did the same to the
river.
Yockey then check-raised Rosario on the river, producing a fold to take it down.
On the very next hand, Yockey got two streets of value from Mike Matusow after flopping a straight on the ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
runout. Yockey turned over ![]()
after being called on the river, adding more chips to his growing stack.
The cards were all scooped up as Ben Yu dragged in the pot with what appeared to be at least a pair of aces in a Seven Card Stud hand to eliminate Phil Ivey. On the way out, Ivey was greeted with a "hey Phil, do you want to double it?" by Eric Wasserson.
Apparently, ten minutes ago Wasserson had bet with Ivey for an undisclosed amount in a last longer competition including himself versus Ivey, John Monnette and Amnon Filippi. Since Monnette also busted, it is now one versus one.
"But Phil is clever, he will probably bet me something to get the money back easily," Wasserson concluded.
There is also another last longer competition running in this tournament as well. As usual organised by Allen Kessler, it attracted 49 entrants in total who are all competing for an additional boost to their bankroll and around half of them are still in the mix.

After a moment, Long raised and Zinno sighed as he tossed in the call. Long showed ![]()
for a flush on the river, while Zinno flashed a straight as he tossed his cards to the dealer.
The field is down to the last 73 players in the second level of the day and the following players below are no longer in contention.
