After the draw had taken place, Carlo van Ravenswoud checked under the gun to Bryce Yockey in the cutoff, who bet 20,000 into the pot of 40,000. Van Ravenswoud then moved all in, barely covering Yockey's stack of 130,000.

Yockey went deep into the tank, but slammed in a call after a few minutes. Van Ravenswoud tabled 8x5x4x3x2x for the best possible eight-low, and Yockey only briefly flashed a jack-low before he added his cards to the muck and left the tournament area.
