Ben Yu completed and was called by Michael Mizrachi on his left. Both players declined to bet on fourth street, while Yu led out with a bet on fifth.

Mizrachi raised, and the call was made. Yu led out again on sixth, with Mizrachi tossing in a call. Yu checked his final card and bet again. Mizrachi did not take long to make the call.

Yu showed down two pair, eights and fours. Mizrachi tabled a better two pair, holding tens and sevens to earn the pot.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Christian Roberts shoved from the small blind for a bit over 200,000 and Michael Mizrachi called from the big blind with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Roberts stood pat and Mizrachi thought for about 30 seconds before drawing one, showing Roberts that he was discarding a Qx.

Christian Roberts: Qx9x7x5x2x All in
Michael Mizrachi: 6x5x4x3x

Roberts had gotten Mizrachi to break a better queen but Mizrachi drew a 9x to eliminate Roberts two spots shy of the final table.

Christian Roberts: K♣K♥Q♣6♦ All in
Ben Lamb: A♥K♦8♥3♦

The J♣3♣J♥ flop was safe for Roberts, while Lamb found a flush draw on the 10♥ turn that also gave both players straight draws. Roberts made Broadway on the A♠ river, doubling his stack again.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Erick Lindgren opened to 80,000 on the button, with Joao Vieira making the call in the big blind.

Both players checked the A♥7♠5♦ flop, with the dealer flipping over the 6♠ turn. Vieira led out for 150,000, and Lindgren took some time before sticking in the call.

Vieira led again on the 10♠ river, this time for 245,000. Lindgren counted out a raise to 750,000, representing most of his remaining stack. After taking some time of his own, Vieira announced all in, putting his opponent to the test.

"For real?" asked Lindgren smiling and he counted the rest of his stack. Lindgren slid in the call.

"Straight flush," said Vieira as he revealed J♠9♠8♠2♣ in his hand. Lindgren slid his cards to the dealer, who tabled A♠K♣9♦4♠ for an ace-high flush, not good enough to avoid hitting the rail in 11th place.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Andrew Yeh opened to 75,000 from the hijack and Esther Taylor defended from the big blind.

The flop came 9♦7♥K♠ and Taylor checked, Yeh bet 90,000 and Taylor potted it to 440,000, leaving 150,000 behind. Yeh shoved and Taylor called off with her remaining stack.

Esther Taylor: A♠K♦J♠9♠ All in
Andrew Yeh: Q♠J♥J♦10♣

Yeh had a pair of jacks and a wrap while Taylor had two pair. Taylor improved to a flush on the K♣ turn, leaving Yeh drawing dead, and after the 2♥ river, she doubled up.

Razz

Mike Matusow: Jx4x / Ax4x3x2x / Xx All in
Andrew Yeh: 3xAx / 2xKx6x5x / Kx

Mike Matusow completed with his last 50,000. Andrew Yeh raised, which folded out the rest of the table.

By sixth street, Yeh had a 6-5-3-2-A, meaning The Mouth needed to find a five or six on seventh street to survive.

The table wished Matusow luck as he began to peel his final card.

"It's paint, guys...no it's not," said Matusow. He then revealed a 2x leaving him with his jack-low.

Esther Taylor quickly stood up to give Matusow a hug, while a round of applause came from the spectators on the rail.

Matusow exchanged handshakes with everyone at the table before heading off to collect his six-figure payout.

Everyone in the field has now locked up $121,573.

Seven Card Stud

Christopher Vitch: 5♦5♥ / Q♠A♠10♦10♠ / Xx All in
Ben Lamb: 6♠4♠ / K♠6♦3♠9♦ / Xx

Action was caught on fourth street with Christopher Vitch betting into Ben Lamb, who called.

Vitch bet again out of his short stack, with Lamb raising. Vitch thought for a moment before calling, which left him with one big bet.

Vitch put in his final chips after he made open tens, and Lamb called to put Vitch at risk.

Vitch had tens and fives, while Lamb had a pair of sixes and a flush draw.

Vitch turned over the J♦, which meant Lamb was still drawing live. The bigger stack turned over the 9♠, completing his flush to score the elimination.

No-Limit Hold'em

Christopher Vitch shoved for 190,000 from the cutoff. Michael Mizrachi called from the small blind before Ben Lamb shoved for roughly 2,300,000. Mizrachi, who covered Lamb, went into the tank.

"I think you have ace-king of spades" Mizrachi told Lamb before reluctantly folding.

Christopher Vitch: K♣8♣ All in
Ben Lamb: A♥K♠

Vitch was dominated but picked up a gutshot on the 9♥5♦7♥ flop for some additional outs. The 2♥ turn was a brick but the straight came in for Vitch on the 6♣ river to secure more than a full triple up.

Justin Liberto: J♠10♣ All in
Andrew Yeh: J♣8♣

Liberto was in great shape through the 7♥4♠Q♣ flop and K♠ turn, but Yeh spiked the 8♦ river to take the pot. That sent Liberto out in 14th place.
