"No good," Buchman said, tabling for trip queens.
Katchalov flashed before mucking his hand, and Buchman shipped the pot.

Froehlich showed as his down cards, and his heart flush was the winner.
"Ouch," Baldwin said, mucking his cards and dropping all the way down to just 35,000. Froehlich is on the move, up now to about 170,000.

While we were waiting for the elimination at the adjacent table, Brent Hanks got himself all in as well. It was a Razz pot that we joined on sixth street.
Hanks: (x-x) / / (x)
Kelly: (x-x) / / (x)
Hanks bet on sixth street, leaving himself just 2,500 back. Kelly went ahead and raised him in, and Hanks stood up to sweat his fate. It was about three or four minutes of pause before the floor man came over to mediate the hand. Kelly rolled over , then pulled an to make an eighty-six. Hanks had started with buried, and he needed to pull a three, six, seven, or eight to stay alive.
Hanks squeezed, then rolled over a nice red to secure his double. He's back to about 48,000 now, while Kelly is knocked back to 45,500.

Buchman: (x-x) / / (x)
Katchalov: (x-x) / / (x)
