Ren Lin was already all in from the antes and Ray Fishman completed. Everyone one else got out of the way and board were run.

Lin drew badly on fourth and fifth street and ended with a king, which was no good against Fishman's eight — eliminating Lin in 15th place.

Christian Roberts was forced all-in after being reduced to his final ante by Ryutaro Suzuki in the previous hand.

Suzuki completed and was called by Maksim Pisarenko and Andrew Yeh.

Suzuki's bet on fourth folded out Pisarenko while Yeh stuck around. Yeh then check-called a bet on fifth street. The active players then checked through to showdown.

Suzuki could only show a jack-seven while Yeh's ten-eight was good for the side pot.

Roberts got the "auto-win" when he turned over a 5x to make 9-6-5-3-A.
