Painter and Nadieliaiev started the hand three ways with Lawrence Berg. Berg folded on fifth street after Nadieliaiev bet. Painter had a pair of sixes and drew another six on seventh street to scoop the pot against the pair of kings held by Nadieliaiev.
Mike Ross and Brian Brubaker were all in and Chad Eveslage was still betting against Thomas Taylor. Eveslage made an ace-high flush and Ross made an low to chop the pot.
Brubaker had two pairs and a flush draw, but missed and headed to the rail.
Picking up the action on sixth street, Ryan Himes bet into Yuebin Guo with a pair of deuces on board, and Guo called him with a board heavy on Broadway cards.

Himes checked the end and Guo bet. Himes quickly called.
Guo turned over for kings up and Himes waved his hands in frustration before mucking. He had just 3,500 left and busted in short order.
The last two hands for Esther Taylor have been a bit of a roller coaster.
She started with rolled up nines against three players, two of which got all in. Ryan Paluf was showing with one card to go and peeled the for a low and a spade flush. He scooped an 82,000-chip pot. In the same hand, Walter Twardus bricked a low draw and ended up with two pairs. He was eliminated.
In the next hand, Taylor scooped with three kings against two other players and went right back up to 66,000.
In a hand that stretched into the break, four players put in three bets apiece on a flop. On the turn, Mikhail Semin bet, Matt Grapenthien called, and Josh Arieh raised. The fourth player folded and Semin put all of his chips in for less. Grapenthien called and it went check-check on the river.
Semin showed for queens full and a six-three for low, and that scooped. Grapenthien took the small side pot with a king-high flush, .
We came upon two players all in on fifth street with Matt Grapenthien putting them both at risk. By the time sixth street hit, the players had the following cards:
Grapenthien:
Damon Rein:
Third player:
Grapenthien turned over a for quads on the river. Rein marveled at his , as he was now busto with aces full. We didn't see the third player's river card.
John Sorgen: / /
David Matusmoto: / /
David Bach: / /
David Bach was the bubble after playing a three-way pot to seventh street. Bach started the hand with roughly 20,000 and managed to get all in by sixth street.
John Sorgen and David Matsumoto checked on seventh street and Sorgen showed for kings up, causing Matsumoto to muck.
Bach hadn't looked at his seventh street card yet and said he had kings so he turned over all three of his facedown cards to show only and was the stone bubble.
