Erik Seidel: A♠K♦Q♠5♣
Opponent: 8♥6♥4♦2♣
After Seidels opponent flopped a flush, he would need running cards to fill up and stay in the tournament. But after the 2♠ turn, and K♠ river, he was eliminated from the tournament.

After a player completed the bet, Anson Tsang raised before Andres Korn bet all in for his last 7,000 chips. The rest of the players at the table folded, leaving Korn and Tsang heads up, with Korn at risk.
Andres Korn: A♣9♥8♥/ 9♣J♣10♣A♦
Anson Tsang: 7♠6♠2♣/ Q♠7♥5♠6♣
With the cards on their back, Korn was ahead all the way to sixth street, until Tsang made two pair. On seventh street Tsang flipped over the deuce of clubs to show Korn he was still alive. Korn slowly peeled his card, but quickly flipped it over once he saw the ace to give him a better two pair, and double up.

Stud Hi-Lo
Action was picked up on fourth street with Eugene Brockett all in and at risk with a side pot between Nathan Gamble and Paul Zappula.
Eugene Brockett: A♠3♠/2♠2♣Q♣3♥/K♠
Nathan Gamble: 7♣7♥/7♠9♠K♥4♠/9♦
Paul Zappulla: A♣8♠/A♦4♥A♥2♦/4♦
On fifth street, Brockett stood up in frustration out of his chair as Zappulla paired his ace and Gamble called a bet.
Sixth and seventh street saw Zappulla bet both times and Gamble called his final two bets to put himself at risk.
Brockett had less chips than Gamble so he was eliminated on the money bubble, while Gamble became the first casualty in the money.
The remaining 76 players are all guaranteed a minimum of $5,000.

Ryan Schoonbaert raised from middle position, and Nghia Le made the call. Then Yueqi Zhu put in a three-bet, and both Schoonbaert and Le called.
The flop came 8♦K♦4♦ and after Schoonbaert checked, Le led out for a bet. Zhu folded and Schoonbaert made the call.
Before the turn Le said "I need to win this pot" and after the K♣ on the turn and it was checked to him, Le went all in for his last 9,000 chips. Schoonbaert made the call as they flipped the cards on their back.
Nghia Le: A♠Q♦J♦3♠
Ryan Schoonbaert: A♦J♠10♥3♥
Le had three quarters of the pot already locked up. When the 10♣ hit the river, it locked up the full pot for Le, to give him more than a double up.
