We caught the action on the turn with about 18,000 in the pot and a board reading 


. Erik Seidel, who had about 33,000 behind, had just checked and allowed Mohsen Tayfef to move all in. Seidel opted to call off and discovered he had the best hand.
Showdown
Seidel: 

Tayfef: 

Seidel's two pair was in the lead, but he needed to dodge the straight and flush outs of his opponent. Unfortunately for the eight-time bracelet winner, the
peeled off on the river to give Tayfef the said flush and the win.

With about 7,000 in the pot and a flop of 

, Andy Frankenberger bet 3,500 from the big blind only to have Ryan "Protential" Laplante raise to 7,900 from the cutoff. Frankenberger thought for a long time before moving all in for around 40,000, and was snap-called by Laplante.
Showdown
Frankenberger: 

Laplante: 

Frankenberger shot out of his seat when he discovered his opponent had flopped the nuts, meaning he needed a six just to chop. The
turn was not it and neither was the
river. With that, Laplante chipped up to over 100K while the 2012 World Series of Poker Player of the Year contender was eliminated from the tournament.
Level: 13
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 200
Once again, these eliminations are in no particular order, but each will be taking home $2,214:
Here's a look at the player who were eliminated from the start of the day all the way up to 208th place. While they're not in a specific order, each of them earned a $2,012 payday.
Andy Frankenberger opened for 2,500 from the hijack and action folded to a short-stacked Gabriel Torres in the big blind. He looked down at his own stack and decided it was the moment to commit. Frankenberger asked for a count, which turned out to be 5,400 total, and then made the call.
Showdown
Frankenberger: 

Torres: 

"Wow, you got it goodm" Frankeberger said after seeing they shared a six. The 

paired Torres, while the
turn left Frankeberger drawing dead. "One of my favorite hands is 8-6," Frankenberger said after the
was put out on the river. "Not in that spot," he added.
