The board read 
. It was big blind Andre Goldbaum versus under-the-gun-raiser Steve O’Dwyer. Goldbaum paused only briefly before making a bet of 5,850. O’Dwyer gave him the once over and made the call. Goldbaum turned over 
for bottom pair, no good against the 
of O’Dwyer.
"All in and a call," a dealer yelled. It appeared Lithuania's Anaras Alekberovas had open-shoved from the small blind for his last few thousand and Brazil's Andre Goldbaum called from the big blind.
Alekberovas held the 
and needed to improve to overcome the 
of Goldbaum. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the board ran out clean and Goldbaum's king-high scored him the elimination.
