James Cheung: XxXx/7♣8♣6♠4♠/Xx
Gregory Josephson: XxXx/10♥3♣7♠Q♠/Xx folded on seventh street

Gregory Josephson completed and James Cheung defended his bring-in.

"You never learn," Josephson said.

Josephson continued for a bet on fourth street and quickly called a raise from Cheung.

"Let's get that out of the way," Josephson said.

Cheung then called a bet from Josephson on fifth street before raising a bet from Josephson on sixth. Josephson called.

On seventh, Josephson checked and Cheung paused before sticking a bet into the middle.

"If you bluffed me you're doing a good job," Josephson said before sending his cards into the muck.

"It was a good job, then!" Cheung replied without showing.

"Five was good," Josephson responded as Cheung was sent the pot.

At another table, Todd Brunson was eliminated in 21st place.

Kyle Hinnerichs: A♣10♣/5♣7♣10♠Q♥/6♠All in
James Cheung: Q♦Q♣/2♣9♠9♣5♦/8♣
Parth Jha: XxXx/A♠8♥4♦ - folded on fifth street

Parth Jha completed with his ace and was raised by Kyle Hinnerichs. Action then folded to James Cheung, who made it three bets to go. Parth called and Hinnerichs raised again. Both Cheung and Jha called for a massively inflated three-way pot.

Hinnerichs and Cheung called a bet from Parth on fourth street and then Cheung led out for a bet after pariing his nine on fifth. Parth got out of the way and Hinnerichs called, leaving himself a single t-1,000 denomination chip behind.

Cheung bet to put Hinnerichs all in on sixth and Hinnerichs called.

"You know what I need!" Hinnerichs said as he tabled A♣10♣.

Cheung revealed a pair of queens in the hole and Hinnerichs said, "You're good," after peeking down at what turned out to be the 6♠. Cheung peeled an irrelevant 8♣ on seventh — making Hinnerichs' elimination in 22nd place official.
