Albert Daher: XxXx/2♥3♣6♣K♠[/Xx
Erick Lindgren: XxXx/5♦2♠Q♦10♠/Xx
Bryn Kenney: XxXx/J♦5♠4♠ - folded on fifth street
"There will never be another Phil. Once he's done, it's all over," Erick Lindgren said before launching into a Phil Hellmuth story.
"A long time ago we were playing a tournament in Borgata. I'm going to fly home from Philadelphia the next day, but Phil asks if I want to go to New York and party with him and fly home from there. We're in a limo, and he says to me, "E-Dog, that's why I like you. You'll do anything at a moment's notice. You're in a limo with Phil Hellmuth," Lindgren said as the rest of the table burst out laughing.
"I don't think I'll ever forget that line," Esther Taylor replied.
Meanwhile, Bryn Kenney had completed and Lindgren and Albert Daher called.
Kenney continued with a bet on fourth street and both opponents called. Lindgren bet on fifth, Daher raised, and Kenney got out of the way while Lindgren called.
Daher bet again on sixth and seventh as Lindgren called him down. Daher turned over J♠J♣3♦ for two pair and Lindgren mucked.

Omaha Hi-Lo
Jon Kyte raised in the hijack and Matthew Ashton called in the big blind.
Ashton led out with a bet on the Q♣J♣8♠ flop and Kyte raised. Ashton called and they got the rest of Ashton's stack in the middle on the 9♣ turn.
Ashton turned over A♣6♣5♦4♠ for the nut flush. "I'm dead," Kyte said as he tossed K♦K♥7♠6♥ into the muck even before the 6♠ completed the board on the river as Ashton survived on the money bubble.
"That turn was a tough spot for you," Michael Mizrachi joked with Ashton.

Omaha Hi-Lo
Albert Daher raised from the hijack and Erick Lindgren called in the big blind.
Lingren checked on the flop of A♥7♣9♣ and Daher asked "how much can I bet?" before putting out 50,000.
"I don't like the sound of that," Lindgren laughed before calling.
Lindgren checked again on the A♦ turn and Daher bet. Lindgren check-raised and Daher called.
Lindgren bet once more on the 8♥ river and Daher called. Lindgren showed A♠9♦5♥2♠ for aces full of nines and an eight low to scoop the pot.
"That is unfortunate," Daher said as he showed 6♦5♦4♦ and mucked.
"I mean, he check-raised a guy who asked how much he could bet. He's going to be strong," said Joao Vieira.

Chris Klodnicki: XxXx / 7x9xQx8x / Xx 
Ben Yu: XxXx / 9x8x6xJx / Xx
Mike Matusow: XxXx / QxKx - folded on fourth street
Mike Matusow was the bring-in, with short stack Chris Klodnicki calling first to act. Ben Yu, who slightly covered Klodnicki, also called.
Klodnicki remained as the low on fourth and bet. Only Yu called.
Yu then took the betting lead when he was dealt a six. He fired out a wager and Klodnicki stuck around with his Qx. On sixth street, Yu bet and Klodnicki called for his tournament life with his last 100,000.
Yu turned over his cards first. He had Ax5x and caught a 7x on seventh street to make 8-7-6-5-A.
Klodnicki needed to catch to avoid bubbling, and after peeling one card, he triumphantly turned all three over at once revealing Ax2x4x to make an 8-7-4-2-A to stay in contention.
Yu looked defeated, with his stack sitting at 80,000.
