Ruberto: 
A classic race was underway as the dealer fanned a 
flop. Ruberto hit top pair leaving Leah drawing to an ace or a nine. The Canadian pro didn't have to wait long as the fell on the turn and Leah faded the on the river to eliminate Ruberto.

Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jerry Payne opened from the small blind, putting almost all his chips in the middle, about 17,000, leaving 2,000 behind. Tony Cousineau was in the big blind and snap-called tabling 
, thinking Payne had moved all in.
Cousineau was then informed of his mistake and shrugged it off knowing it didn't really matter. Especially, when the flop fanned out 
and Payne insta-mucked. The table erupted with laughter and commended Payne on his genius move.
Unfortunately, Payne was unable to spin up the crumbs he had in front of him and was seen leaving the table shortly after.
