Blaz Zerjav committed his last chips from the hijack and James Chen called on the button. Shirley Rosario then three-bet in the small blind, and Chen called.

Chen showed 8♠7♠5♥4♦, while Zerjav had A♥A♠9♠6♦ for two pair. The river was the 2♦ and Zerjav tripled up, while Chen took the side pot to increase his stack up to around 200,000.

Level 6 : Limits 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Blinds: 1,000-2,000
Limits: 2,000-4,000

Cary Falk bet from the big blind on a flop of 3♠8♥5♠ and was called by John Sill in the hijack and Brad Ruben in the cutoff.

"I want to make it 109,000," Falk said as he tossed in his last chips on the 2♣ turn. Only Sill called, and he turned over A♠J♦4♣3♦ for a wheel.

"You have to turn them over?" Falk asked the dealer as he tossed his cards into the muck and started to make his way to the exit. The dealer eventually retrieved his Q♠Q♥9♦8♥ before revealing the 7♦ river as Falk was sent to the rail.

"He was your personal ATM machine," a tablemate said to Sill after Falk had left.

Ken Aldridge was also recently eliminated.
