No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw

Christopher Vitch raised to 14,000 in middle position. David "ODB" Baker three-bet to 45,000 in the cutoff, and Kristopher Tong upped the ante even further with a four-bet to 160,000 from the big blind.

Vitch gave it a bit of thought before he folded, but Baker called to the draw. Tong remained pat, prompting Baker to take one card.

Tong then checked it over to Baker, who put his opponent all in for 518,000. Tong spent several minutes in the tank before he slammed in some chips for a call.

Baker sheepishly showed a busted wheel draw. Tong triumphantly stood up as he showed 10x8x7x6x4x, winning the gargantuan pot to double up.

No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Single Draw

Max Kruse opened to 16,000 from under the gun before David Benyamine made it 125,000 from the cutoff. Kruse mulled over his options, before calling and leaving around 29,000 behind.

Kruse drew one, while Benyamine remained pat.

After peeling his card, Kruse let out a deep exhale and gestured a fold. Benyamine was still kind enough to show he had Kruse beat with 10x9x5x4x2x.

On the next deal, Ryan Miller raised to 14,000 from middle position and was called by Marco Johnson from the button. Kruse then put in his last 22,000 from the big blind. Miller made it 59,000 and Johnson called.

All three players drew one, and then Miller and Johnson checked it through to showdown.

Johnson tabled 10x8x6x5x3x which bested Miller. Kruse was drawing dead, as he was showing a ten-nine draw. He looked at his final card, sent it back to the table and exited the tournament.

Elsewhere, Dario Sammartino was eliminated.

Twenty years after his iconic WSOP Main Event victory, Jamie Gold is making another deep bracelet run, this time in honor of his veteran father.

Gold, whose $12 million Main Event payday remains the second-largest in WSOP history, sits among the chip leaders with just 80 players remaining from 4,478 entries in the annual WSOP $500 SALUTE to Warriors event. This year's tournament will donate more than $180,000 to the USO, which supports the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.

"My dad was in the service, so I always like to play this Salute to Warriors event," the former world champion explained. "It's never easy with 4,500 entries. I'll be happy if I just make the final table, and then of course I'll feel like I have to win it! One goal at a time."
