Throughout a board of , Tim Marsters bet all the way and had very few chips behind after the final bet. Paul Volpe called very reluctantly on the river suspecting Marters may have connected with the final community card.
Marsters flipped over his for a set of nines and Volpe flashed three of his cards including the .
Following a button raise by Kristijonas Andrulis and Andre Akkari coming along in the small blind, Chris Grigorian was all-in from the big blind for a very short stack and both opponents stuck around.
Akkari check-called bets by Andrulis on the flop and turn. Another check-call by Akkari on the river followed and all cards were revealed.

Philip Long raised from early position and was called by Anthony Zinno in the big blind.
Zinno checked called after the flop, and raised a bet from Long on the turn. Long called to see Zinno lead on the river.
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 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.
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.

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.
Following a bet by Brad Ruben with a pair of eights and potential low board showing on sixth street, Eric Rodawig sent his cards into the muck. Nate Silver called and both then checked with Silver checking behind.
Ruben showed nines and eights, to which Silver exposed a missed low and straight draw.
