After being left with just one T-5,000 chip, Max Hoffman ante'd it and was at risk from the get-go. He would face four potential executioners who went to fourth street, where Ben Diebold bet and got called by Brian Yoon, Maxx Coleman, and Leonard August.

On fifth street, Diebold bet again, this time shedding Yoon and August, leaving him heads-up with Coleman for the side pot after he called.

The players then checked sixth and seventh streets, with Diebold showing two pair, queens and sevens. Coleman mucked, as did Hoffman who showed two pair, fours and threes, then headed to the rail in eighth place.
