Jeff Smith opened for 25,000 under the gun only to have Dylan Linde three-bet all in from the hijack. Sean Giesbrecht then called off from the button, the blinds folded, and Smith got out of the way.
Giesbrecht:
Linde:
It was a bad spot for Giesbrecht, and things weren't looking good on the flop. The turn was kind as it gave him a flush draw, but the river would fail to complete it.
Giesbrecht will take home $11,645 for his 16th-place finish.

Pahuja:
Patti:
It looked as if Patti had picked the wrong time to shove, but he found new life when the flop delivered him a set. Neither the turn nor river helped Pahuja, and he was left shaking his head as he sent about half his stack over to Patti.
We didn't catch the action until the river of a board because on the other table was just an all in showdown. However, we did see Frank Patti bet 60,000 and Chris Hunichen raised to 178,000. Patti clicked it back to 460,000 and after brief consideration, BigHuni made the call.
