Brunson check-called a bet on seventh, with Tate announcing he had an eight.

John Ma: 6x5x2x / 6xJx3x5x
Matthew Valeo: XxXxXx / Ax5xKxAx
Mark Epstein: 8x6x6x / 4x9x10x7x
Matthew Valeo completed before Mark Epstein raised on his direct left. Two seats over was John Ma, who reraised and received calls from Valeo and Epstein.
Valeo remained as the low on fourth street and bet. Epstein called with Ma putting in his last chips to be at risk of elimination.
Fifth street checked through where Valeo called a bet. Seventh street then checked through to showdown.
Epstein showed his 8x6x6x down cards to have 9-8-7-6-4, which prompted Valeo to muck his board. Ma, who turned over 6x5x2x, paired up twice to leave him with J-6-5-3-2, which wasn't enough to save him from elimination.
Joe Brindle: XxXx/3x7x3x6x
Andrey Zhigalov: XxXx/5xKx6xJx - folded on sixth street
Joe Brindle completed and called a raise from Andrey Zhigalov.
Zhigalov called a bet from Brindle on fourth street and then bet himself on fifth after Brindle paired his trey. Brindle called.
On sixth street, Zhigalov caught a jack and check-folded facing a bet from Brindle to award Brindle the pot.
At another table, Yuval Bronshtein was the first player to be eliminated.
