Gary Benson was the player to bubble the Seniors High Roller, as he lost all of his chips across two hands.
Hand 1:
Action was picked up on the turn in a hand between Gary Benson in early position and Raj Vohra on the button. With a board reading 8♣4♠8♥8♠ Vohra bet 10,000, and Benson called.
The river card was the A♣, Benson checked, and Vohra bet 45,000. After some thought, Benson called only to get shown 9♦8♦ for quads.
Hand 2:
On the very first deal of hand-for-hand play, Benson was forced all in from the big blind. With just 10,000 in his stack, there was only 2,000 ante in the middle to play for. He knew he was in trouble when the very first player to act, Guillermo Castillo, raised to 18,000. The second player to act was Ron West, who then shoved for 177,000. Castillo didn't make the call.
Gary Benson: 4♥4♦
Ron West: Q♠Q♣
The J♦3♥2♦ flop gave Benson a couple of backdoor outs, however that route was shut down by the 2♠ turn. He couldn't boat up on the 6♦ river, and there was a cheer in the room as the players found out that they'd cashed.

Ron Fetsch was already all in and up against Reginald Roberts to his direct left. The action was followed as the cards were flipped.
Ron Fetsch: A♦A♥
Reginald Roberts: K♦K♣
Fetsch was looking good until the dealer placed the K♥9♦10♠ flop, giving Roberts a set. Fetsch let out a sigh and stood from the table, not sticking around to watch the rest of the runout.
He didn't come back on the 6♦ turn or the 10♥ river, and he was eliminated around 30 players from the money.

John Esposito woke up with a hand under the gun and opted for a raise to 18,000. It wouldn't stand for long, however, as next to act Ramana Epparla bumped it up to 45,000. Patrick White was the third player in a row to get involved, as he cold-called the three bet. Finally, players started to fold, and action got back to big blind Stuart Taylor.
Taylor took his time in making a decision, and was really in the blender. "Somebody call clock on me," he eventually asked the table, and the dealer called over the floor who started the countdown. As he reached the last couple of seconds, he released his cards, claiming that he'd made a "massive fold". Esposito called, sending three players to a flop.
On a 5♣9♣3♣ flop, Esposito checked in flow, and Epparla put 125,000 out there. White then shoved, and was snapped off by Epparla after Esposito's fold.
Patrick White: Q♠Q♣
Ramana Epparla: A♠A♣
Both players turned the flush on the 4♣ turn, but Epparla's was superior, and the 9♥ river was inconsequential as White just missed out on making the money. Taylor revealed that he had indeed made a massive folding, having laid down AxK♣

The chips went all in preflop with Bruno 'KoolShen' Lopes at risk against Jeffrey Schwimmer.
Bruno Lopes: A♥A♣
Jeffrey Schwimmer: K♠K♦
Lopes was delivered a brutal blow when the flop was K♥K♣8♦, giving Schwimmer four cowboys. The 7♦ was the final nail in the coffin before the meaningless 9♥ rolled over on the river and the famous French rapper was out.
