Andrew Barber: Kx6x/Qx4xAx6x/8x
David Funkhouser: KxJx/5x2xJx6x/2x
After Andrew Barber brought in, David Funkhouser was the last player left in the hand with a chance to complete and put Barber all in. He did so and Barber flicked in his last 4,000 chips.
By the time seven cards were dealt, Barber survived with a queen-low against Funkhouser's king-low.

Brian Yoon: XxXx/7x4xQx10x/Xx
Andrew Barber: XxXx/3x9x9xQx/Xx
Picking action up on fourth street, a short-stacked Andrew Barber called bets on fourth, then fifth, and a hesitant one on sixth as well, leaving himself just 14,000 chips.
After a final bet from Yoon on the end, Barber had nothing he could call the rest with, and he was left with just 4 1/2 antes.
The tournament has slowed considerably since players returned from break, with several stalling just a few spots shy of the money bubble.
Tournament officials then announced that play will now be hand-for-hand until the bubble bursts following two more eliminations.

Limit Hold'em
Phil Hui bet the turn on a board of J♥K♥Q♥7♠ before Mori Eskandani raised. Hui called as the 6♥ fell on the river.
Hui threw out a bet and Eskandani, with only a few chips remaining, tossed Ax10x into the muck.
"I'm saving it," Eskandani said heading to the next hand, where he got them in the middle again against Hui.
Mori Eskandani: Q♣5♥
Phil Hui: A♦J♦
The A♣K♠A♥ flop left Eskandani drawing to a miracle runner-runner, but none came as the board fell 7♠7♦ and the Poker Hall of Famer hit the rail.
"He's the classiest guy," Phil Hellmuth said of Eskandani after he made his exit. "For 20 years he picked all the lineups for all those shows. Imagine the egos saying 'I should be on them."
Omaha Hi-Lo
Following a raise from Young Ko in early position, Connor Drinan raised in the cutoff and was called by John Racener on the button. Binh Ly then moved all in for 24,000 from the small blind with the other three players calling to put him at risk.
On the A♣3♣2♦ flop, action checked to Racener who bet, getting a call only from Ko.
The 4♦ turn saw Ko check-call another Racener bet, with the players then checking the J♠ river.
Ly chucked his K♠Q♠J♦7♣ face up and headed toward the exits, while Ko showed A♠Q♦9♠4♦ and Racener showed A♦6♣4♣3♦, with each showing identical aces and fours for high with Ko getting quartered by Racener's live six for the low.
