Seventh street was checked down, and Vonk showed a seven-low to beat the eight-lows of his opponents and send Parsa to the rail.

Razz

Alex Livingston: XxXx/Ax2x10xJx/Xx
Marcel Vonk: 6x5x4x/2x8x7x3x

Alex Livingston completed the bet, and Marcel Vonk was the only caller. Livingston bet fourth street, and Vonk called. On fifth street, the betting lead changed.

Vonk bet, Livingston called, and the same recipe was followed on sixth and seventh street.

"Six-straight," Vonk announced at showdown. His six-low won the pot, leaving Livingston with less than a big bet.

Alex Livingston: 6x5x/3xQx2x10x/9x All in
Joseph Santagata: 4xAx/5x9xKx3x/Kx

The next hand, Livingston got his remaining chips in on third street against Joseph Santagata. Santagata had made a nine-low by sixth street, with Livingston drawing to a six-low.

Livingston also made a nine-low on seventh, but his nine-six lost against the nine-five of Santagata, and he headed to the exit.

Tal Avivi: A♦9♦9♥4♥
Stanislav Ivanov: A♠9♠4♣3♥

Ari Engel: 9♦8♦/8♠Q♦3♣A♣/K♥ All in
Marcel Vonk: J♠2♠/A♠10♠6♠2♦/A♦

Ari Engel brought in, Marcel Vonk completed, and Engel called after some thought. On fourth street, Vonk bet, Engel raised, and Vonk reraised. Engel again weighed his options before tossing in a call.

Engel only had a few chips left behind, which were committed on fifth street. Seeing Vonk had already made his flush, Engel started saying his goodbyes.

Engel's runner-runner outs were killed on sixth street, and he was officially eliminated when his seventh card was turned over. The tournament was left with 16 players, who redrew across two tables.
