Dave Stann: XxXx/8xKxJx10x/Xx
Adam Owen: XxXx/4xAxQxAx - folded on sixth street
Rafael Concepcion: XxXx/5x8xQx5x/Xx
Dave Stann's short stack was forced all in on third street. The best he could manage after the runout was a jack low, which Concepcion bested with an 87.
Michael Carey: 3x4x/2x7xJxQx/Jx
Jason Lipiner: Ax8x/5x9xKxKx/Ax
Takashi Ogura: 5x6x/3x3x10x5x/8x
Michael Carey and Jason Lipiner were both short and forced all in on third street against Takashi Ogura.
Carey and Lipiner were both drawing live until seventh street, where Ogura made a ten-eight, while Carey couldn't make his draw to a seven, nor could Lipiner make his draw to a nine.
Lipiner was the shorter stack to start the hand, so he finished in 19th place while Carey took 18th.
Adam Owen: 8x8x/9x10x10x3x/3x
Rafael Concepcion: 3x2x/10x3xKxKxAx
Adam Owen moved all in on third street for his last 30,000 chips and Rafael Concepcion made it two bets to fold out the bring-in.
Despite both players getting horrific runouts, somehow Owen's was even worse, making three pair, while Concepcion took down the pot with just a king-ten low.
Teemu Kangasvieri: Ax2x3x5x9x9xQx
Hal Rotholz: Ax2x4x6x6x7xJx
Bleeding chips for several rounds, Kangasvieri was finally forced all in by the ante. As the seventh card was about to be dealt, he asked if he had any outs, and was informed, no. He fought to the last chip and received $5,064 for the effort.
