Mario Lopez on the button and Tudor Bartha in the small blind got it all in preflop. Bartha was the shorter stack with less than 15 big blinds.

Mario Lopez: K♥Q♣

The flop came 4♦K♣5♥ and Bartha was still ahead. The turn K♠, however, changed everything, giving Lopez trips and having Bartha draw to two outs. They did not come, the river was the 8♦, and Bartha’s tournament was over.

Kenneth Kim: K♥J♠

Kim was ahead with top pair while the hijack was open-ended. The 2♠ turn and 9♣ river failed to improve the hijack's draw and he was sent to the rail.
