David Funkhouser: A♥J♥ All in
Jeff Madsen: A♠8♥

Funkhouser was in great shape to double on the A♣Q♣6♥ flop. Nothing changed on the 3♣ turn but a chop was still possible. However, the dealer peeled the 8♦ river in brutal fashion to give Madsen the winner as Funkhouser was sent to the payout desk.

2-7 Triple Draw

Jeff Madsen raised in the cutoff and in the big blind, Stuart Elkin called in the big blind to put himself at risk.

Elkin drew two which saw Madsen draw one on the first draw, and the following two draws saw identical drawing action.

Stuart Elkin: 10x8x5x4x2x All in
Jeff Madsen: 9x7x5x4x3x

Madsen's nine was good against Elkin's ten and the 2006 WSOP player of the year took down the pot.

Stuart Elkin, Hiroshi Tanaka, Fu Wong, and David Funkhouser were in for 50,000 each heading into fourth street, wherein Elkin bet and everyone called.

Action checked through on fifth street and then Wong bet on sixth. Funkhouser folded, but Elkin and Tanaka called.

Wong bet a final time on seventh street and both Elkin and Tanaka called.

Wong turned over a flush for the high, while Tanaka turned over the best low for a chopped pot.

Elkin was left with just 50,000 following the hand and busted shortly thereafter.

No-Limit Hold'em

Jordan Siegel raised to 28,000 under the gun. Chad Eveslage moved his stack of 193,000 in from the hijack, after which the action was on Elior Sion in the big blind. After a while, he folded, accidentally exposing the A♣.

"Well, that f*cks things up," Siegel stated. "I was gonna snap-call, now I don't know what to do."

After a bit, Siegel said, "I gotta do what I was gonna do," and called off.

Chad Eveslage: 6♥6♣ All in
Jordan Siegel: A♦Q♦

Siegel did not pair his hole cards on the 5♣8♥9♣8♠K♠ board, and Eveslage doubled up.

The next hand, Siegel was in the big blind and called all-in for 35,000 when John Bunch had open-shoved in the cutoff.

Jordan Siegel: Q♥J♣ All in
John Bunch: A♦Q♣

Bunch paired his ace on the K♥A♠6♦ flop, and Siegel missed his gutshot on the 3♦2♣ runout to be eliminated.

On the next deal, Thomas Taylor open-shoved in the cutoff, covering the remaining players. Stephen Hubbard called off for 156,000 in the big blind, and the cards were tabled.

Stephen Hubbard: A♦5♠ All in
Thomas Taylor: K♥4♥

Neither player received help from the 7♦8♠2♥9♣9♥ runout, doubling Hubbard with his ace-high.

During the madness, Sean Akhavi was eliminated at another table across the room.
