Daniel Alaei (76,000) vs. Michael Stonehill (270,000)
Phil Galfond opened for 6,000 on the button and Stewart Newman announced that he was all in for 63,000. Galfond hit the tank debating what to do, and commented that he had a "pretty hand." Eventually he called.
"I don't think I want a pretty hand to call," Newman admitted. Indeed, he was in bad shape.
Galfond:
Newman:
"That's a good flop for you," Galfond said after the flop gave Newman the lead with jacks. The turn improved him to a straight flush, and he was shipped the double after the was put out on the river.
"I just made a straight flush?" Newman asked rhetorically. "That's pretty silly."
Michael Stonehill raised to 6,500 on the button and Daniel Alaei called in the big blind.
The flop came down and Alaei check-called 9,000 from Stonehill to see the turn. Both checked, the river completed the board and Alaei bet 13,000. Stonehill raised to 33,000 and after a few moments Alaei called.
Stonehill tabled for trip sevens, Alaei mucked and Stonehill took down the pot.
Alexander Venovski got his last 60,000 all in preflop and was racing against Eric Wasserson.

Wasserson:
Venovski was the one that needed to improve, but he didn't do it on the flop. The turn opened up some straight opportunities, but the ended up blanking on the river.
"Well, now I can't play the $10K H.O.R.S.E.," Wasserson said. That's true, because tomorrow he'll be at the final table in this event with 345,000 in chips.
