Hawrilenko checked on fourth and then check-raised when Tang bet and Brown called but both called the raise. Hawrilenko then fired fifth with Tang calling and Brown folding, Tang called another bet on sixth street as well. On seventh, Hawrilenko check-called a bet but was very disappointed when Tang turned over for trips to win the pot.
This left the former WSOP bracelet winner as the short stack and he was soon all in against Tang but couldn't make a pair with his board coming / / as Tang managed to make queens on a board of / / - enough to win the pot.
Just before the break, we didn’t catch all of the action but saw Nick Schulman double up courtesy of Bertrand Grospellier with a flush that had Elky drawing dead before seventh.
After losing the previous hand, Matt Glantz raised, Alexander Kostritsyn re-raised and Glantz called. Glantz check-called Kostritsyn’s bet on fourth and then called Kostristsyn’s bets on all remaining streets. Kostritsyn showed for trips and Glantz mucked.
Sorel Mizzi had raised and Steve Landfish called, Mizzi fired again on forth but Landfish put in a raise before both players checked fifth. Mizzi then fired again on sixth and seventh and Landfish called both times.
"Sixes," said Mizzi and Landfish turned over for kings to take the pot.
Matt Hawrilenko was all in and at risk on fifth against Chris Tryba. Tryba asked Hawrilenko if he had a pair and Hawrilenko responded with two pair which became a full house on sixth. This left Tryba drawing dead and Hawrilenko doubled up.
Tom McCormick was all in and ahead again on third against Men Nguyen. McCormick lead with 7's, but Nguyen made 8's on sixth. Nguyen flipped his last card first and it was of no help to him so McCormick would need to pair up to avoid elimination. Unfortunately for him, he bricked out and was eliminated as our bubble boy. We are now having a table redraw.
While we are playing hand for hand, Matt Glantz took a decent pot off Men Nguyen.
Glantz: / /
Nguyen: / /
Glantz fired fourth and fifth and then again on sixth when Nguyen checked, after which last year's champion finally gave it up. Glantz showed him buried queens.
