Noah Bronstein brought in, and Eli Elezra completed.
"Wait, wait, don't kill his hand!" Ray Fishman yelled as he was pondering his decision, but it was too late, and Elezra's cards were already added to the muck by the dealer.
A frustrated Elezra angrily turned over all six cards in the muck to find his hand. The floor was then called over, Elezra's hand was declared dead, and he had to pay the bring-in of 7,000, getting the rest of his money back.
The table collectively studied the exposed cards, after which the action folded to William Kerkaert.
Kerkaert completed, and Leah raised. Bronstein got out of the way before Kerkaert called. Leah fired a bet on fourth street, and, once called, moved all in on fifth street for his last 10,000. Kerkaert reluctantly called.
Leah just showed a pair of deuces, and he did not improve during the rest of the hand. Kerkaert ended up with a pair of sixes, enough to knock Leah out of the tournament.
