Action was picked up on the flop in a three-way pot between Matt Vengrin in the big blind, Stephen Hubbard in late position, and John Bunch on the button with 45,000 in the center.

The flop rolled out J♦3♠9♦ and Vengrin bet 30,000 which saw Hubbard raise to 135,000. Bunch went into the tank for a long time before deciding to toss his hand into the muck and Vengrin called all in for 48,000 total.

Matt Vengrin: K♦J♠8♥3♣ All in
Stephen Hubbard: 10♠9♥9♣7♠

Hubbard's set was good for the pot as the board ran out 2♠Q♦ and the WSOP bracelet winner took his leave from the tournament.

At another table, Oliver Tot was eliminated from the tournament.

"Flush," Funkhouser said as he turned over his hole cards.

Elkin re-checked his hole cards before mucking them and was left with just 100,000 following the hand.

2-7 Triple Draw

Oliver Tot raised under the gun, Koji Fujimoto three-bet in the hijack, and Yuri Dzivielevski put in a fourth bet on the button. Tot called all-in for 52,000 total, and Fujimoto called as well.

On the first draw, Tot drew one card, Fujimoto took two cards, and Dzivielevski changed one card.

Fujimoto check-called a bet from Dzivielevski before each player took the same number of cards. Fujimoto checked, Dzivielevski bet, and Fujimoto called before Tot and Fujimoto each took one card on the final draw.

Dzivielevski remained pat, and bet after Fujimoto had checked. Fujimoto folded his hand after some thought, and Dzivielevski tabled Qx8x6x3x2x for a queen-low.

Tot had 7x5x4x2x and drew a 6x to make a seven-low and win the main pot.

Both players checked the turn 6♠ to the river 9♦ where Sion bet 45,000 and Akhavi went into the tank.

After some thought, Akhavi put his chips in to call and mucked after seeing Sion turn over K♥9♠ for nines and sixes.

Pot-Limit Omaha

David Bach opened from the cutoff and was three-bet to 55,000 by Ryan Hoenig in the small blind. Bach called.

Hoenig bet all but a single t-1,000 chip on the 10♠A♣7♠ flop and Bach raised to put him all in.

"You got anything?" Hoenig asked, which got a laugh from everyone at the table.

"Someone bust!" Hoenig shouted.

After a bit of tanking, Hoenig called all in and a showdown was held.

Ryan Hoenig: A♦K♣10♦6♣ All in
David Bach: K♥Q♠J♥10♥

The Q♦ turn filled Bach's Broadway draw, but Hoenig still had outs to a full house with his two pair.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the Q♣ river bricked out — eliminating Hoenig late in the evening.

The second draw saw the opponents draw two each again. Akhavi bet after the draw, and Tanaka called. Akhavi remained pat, Tanaka drew one card, and Akhavi bet after the final draw.

Tanaka tanked a bit before he put in a raise, which was quickly called by Akhavi. Tanaka tabled 8x6x4x3x2x for number six, causing Akhavi to add his cards to the muck.
