Opponent: /
Kentaro Hori: /
David Bach: /
Josh Turner: /
Kentaro Hori raised with a king showing and three players made the call.
On fourth, David Bach hit a three and bet, again all three players made the call.
Four players to a fifth street, the first opponent made a pair of sixed and bet, once more all three players called.
All four players checked sixth steet. However, when seventh was dealt, Hori put out a bet. One by one, all three players folded for the rare four-player, seventh-street, non-showdown, eight-or-better scoop.

Stud 8 or Better
While Grapenthien was all in and doubling, Eric Kurtzman was left with 3,000 and was all in for his ante.
On seventh street, he was trailing Chris McHugh's nine-high straight with a seven low, holding two pair, nines and sevens. Kurtzman somehow managed to draw a nine on seventh to fill up and win the high half of the pot to stay alive

Eric Kurtzman was all in preflop for less than one bet. Christopher Carney and Kris Lord were along for the ride.
Carney and Lord checked every street until seventh when Lord bet, Carney raised, and Lord called.
Carney had the low, Lord had the straight, and Kurtzman was left holding two pair which sent him out the door one short of the money.
"It's not my first bubble, but it still hurts," said Kurtzman.

Omaha 8 or Better
Matt Grapenthien was all in for his final 9,000 in early position. Mike Wattel then raised in the small blind and Jordan Siegel called in the big blind.
The players then checked down the board.
Grapenthien showed , which failed to connect with the board. Siegel showed for just a pair of deuces, and Wattel mucked his hand, meaning Siegel's ducks had quacked loudly enough to send Grapenthien to the rail.
Meanwhile, at an adjacent table, Brandon Shack-Harris was also one of the first post-bubble eliminations.

That's exactly what happened to Philippe Souki about seven hours into Friday's final table. However, he did still receive $1,075,000 as quite a sizable consolation prize for eighth place.
Stud Eight or Better
The board on the table showed , as action started on the turn with Jonathan Williams betting and Richard Tatalovich making the call.
The river was the , pairing the board. Williams slowed down with a check, Tatalovich decided to bet. Willliams shook his head, turned his cards face up, and put in the call.
