Christopher Vitch completed and Kane Kalas called. Kalas paired his ace on fourth and called a bet by Vitch to then do so again on fifth street. Both checked sixth street and Vitch bet again seventh. Kalas had just over two bets behind and reluctantly folded.

Nick Schulman: 8x7x5x/5x9xJx4x
Renan Bruschi: XxXx/8x9x3x2x/Xx
James Tilton: 7x4x2x/Ax10x3xKx
Nick Schulman had gone all in on third street, with Renan Bruschi and James Tilton playing a pot on the side. Bruschi then bet on fourth street, which Tilton called. Bruschi bet again on fifth street, but this time Tilton raised.
Bruschi then three-bet, and Tilton called. Another bet and call flew in on sixth street, after which Bruschi checked seventh street.
Tilton bet, causing Bruschi to slam his fist on the table. After some time in the tank, he called off, but he could not beat Tilton's seven-low and mucked.
Schulman could not beat Tilton either, showing his nine-low before he departed the tournament area.
Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Brian Rast: K♣J♣ / 4♣10♣9♣7♣ / 5♣
Kane Kalas: 2♠6♣ / 6♠8♦8♠9♠ / 6♥
Kane Kalas bet fifth street and then check-raised all-in on sixth off his shorter stack to get called by Brian Rast who tabled a flush. Kalas had two pair by then and needed help, which he spiked with the six on the river to improve to a full house.
Daniel Negreanu: 5♠8♠ / 6♥10♠Q♥4♥ / 6♣
Kane Kalas: A♦K♦ / 4♦J♦3♦6♦ / 5♣
Dylan Weisman: XxXx / A♥2♦8♥ folded on fifth street
In the very next hand, Dylan Weisman completed and was called by Daniel Negreanu and Kalas. Weisman bet fourth street to pick up two calls and checked fifth as did Negreanu. Kalas now had three diamonds showing and bet after which Weisman reluctantly called.
Negreanu sighed bemoaning why Weisman would leave him in such a spot but he only had 17,000 chips total left behind by then. Negreanu called the full bet and got the last chip in on sixth street. Kalas had a made flush and improved to a low on seventh, scooping the entire pot and sending Negreanu to the rail.
Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Esther Taylor: XxXx / 10♠3♠2♣Q♥ / Xx
Phil Hui: K♠K♥K♦ / Q♣8♦A♠J♥
Philip Sternheimer: A♣4♦ / 8♣3♣5♥10♦ / 5♠
Esther Taylor was already awaiting her fate when she was all-in against Phil Hui and Philip Sternheimer. The former then bet and Sternheimer called with a low while Hui showed a set of kings in the hole. Taylor briefly flashed the cards before tossing them into the muck but even table neighbour Calvin Anderson couldn't see them as per the discussion between the trio after the hand was over.
Omaha Hi-Lo
Esther Taylor was already all-in and at risk, and was up against Brian Battistone and Brian Tate.
All three players were looking at the 10♦8♠3♥7♣5♦ board, which Battistone and Tate checked through to showdown.
Battitstone had 7♥3♠2♦, keeping his fourth card hidden, but he mucked his hand after Tate showed down A♥4♥9♣7♦ and Taylor tabled A♠4♦8♦6♥.
Tate and Taylor chopped up the low with their seven-fives, but Taylor took the high, as she had an eight-high straight to take three-quarters of the pot. Taylor chipped up to around 23,500, while Battistone was left with around 53,000.
On the next deal, Calvin Anderson raised from the hijack, and called when Philip Sternheimer three-bet from the button.
The J♥3♥3♦ flop checked through before Sternheimer called bets on the 5♣ turn and 10♥ river. Anderson tabled A♥6♥6♣3♣ for a flush, and took down the pot.
A few hands later, Battistone was eliminated from the table.
