Having gone through the big blind, Zachary Freeman was left short and faced the under-the-gun raise of Ben Lamb, which he called and so did Erik Seidel in the big blind.
Freeman checked the Q♣4♦3♣ flop and Seidel bet, Lamb called. The severe short stack saw Freeman shrug, sigh and call all-in for the 15,000 he had behind. On the 4♥ turn, Seidel's bet was called by Lamb and he then checked the K♠ river. Lamb bet and Seidel called.
Freeman turned over the J♠9♠9♥7♣ while Lamb exposed his A♣10♠6♦2♥ for a missed low and straight draw. Seidel had the winning hand with the A♥Q♦9♦2♠ to earn the entire pot, knocking out Freeman in 19th place for $20,483.

Yarron Bendor: A♥K♦10♠3♦
James Chen: A♣10♣7♦2♠
The board ran out Q♣K♥5♣J♥9♦ with both Chen and Bendor chopping up Yockey's chips.

The wild ride of Christopher Stephan had once again seen his stack reduced and he was involved in three-way action out of the small blind against Sam Farha from under the gun and Robert Yass in the big blind.
Stephan was all-in for fewer than a full bet on the A♥8♦6♦3♦ turn as they then headed to the 8♥ river. Yass bet for Farha to call and all cards were revealed.
Stephan exposed his J♦10♦2♥2♠ for a jack-high flush and no low. Farha had the K♥4♠3♥2♣ for the nut low and earned half the pot while Yass earned the high pot with 8♣6♣5♠4♣ for a full house, knocking out Stephan in 20th place for $20,483.
