David "ODB" Baker bet on fourth street. Yuri Dzivielevski called, as did Kelvin Kerber. Baker fired another bet on fifth street, Dzivielevski raised, Kerber called, and Baker called all-in for 2,500 more.

Dzivielevski bet again on sixth street, but Kerber quickly folded after catching a king.

Dzivielevski tabled an seven-low, and did not improve on seventh street. Baker had an eight-low, but he also failed to improve, marking his elimination from the tournament.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Sergei Tolkachov jammed for 20,000 from early position and was called by Philip Jaffe in the cutoff and Colin Wickersheim in the big blind.

Wickersheim took one, Tolkachov took two, and Jaffe took two before Wickersheim check-called a bet of 25,000 from Jaffe.

Sergei Tolkachov: 8x7x4x2x2x All in
Colin Wickersheim: 10x9x8x3x2x
Philip Jaffe: 9x7x5x4x3x

Tolkachov paired while Wickersheim held a ten. However, Jaffe had the 28th nut low to drag the pot and eliminate Tolkachov.

Oliver Tot: XxXx / Q♦4♠J♣2♠ - folded on sixth street
David Funkhouser: A♥K♦ / 10♥8♥7♠10♣ / 5♥

Funkhouser limped before Yu went all-in for 7,000. Tot wanted to raise but the table was unsure of the amount. After a short four-and-a-half minute delay, it was confirmed that he can make it 19,000, and Funkhouser called.

Tot bet on fifth and Funkhouser called. Funkhouser paired his ten on sixth and Tot folded to a bet.

Yu had many outs to improve on seventh but could not find any help as his pair of sevens were bested by the tens of Funkhouser as Yu hit the exit.

Jarryd Godena called the bring-in, John Centeno completed, and Frank Athey moved all in for 8,000. Godena called, and also called Centeno's bet on fourth street.

Centeno bet again on fifth street, this time forcing Godena out of the pot. The cards were then dealt up until seventh street, where they were opened once all other tables had completed their hands.

Athey was stuck with a ten-low, while Centento was sitting on a nine-low. Centeno was awarded the pot, and Athey said his goodbyes as the final player to leave the tournament without a return on their investment.
