Soshi Yasoshima: XxXx / 4♥3♠6♣2♣ / Xx
Eddie Blumenthal: XxXx / 2♠6♠4♠4♣ / Xx
Joseph Hallock: XxXx / K♥8♥8♠7♣ / Xx – folded on seventh street
Action picked up on fourth as Hallock led and both opponents called.
He bet again on fifth, Yasoshima called, Blumenthal raised, and both called.
Hallock checked sixth to Yasoshima, who bet, showing a four-liner, and both called. Yasoshima bet again on seventh. Blumenthal called. Hallock folded, leaving himself just 50,000 behind.
Yasoshima had 10♥5♦2♦ in the hole for a six-high straight and 6-5 low. Blumenthal had A♦9♠3♣ for a better 6-4 low, and the pot was chopped.
The next hand, Hallock got the rest into the middle, and he could not find half the pot, and he was eliminated.
At the other table, DJ Buckley got his last few bets into the middle on third against two opponents, but he also could not salvage half the pot, and he was eliminated.
