We happened upon the action on fifth street when both Brian Hastings and Daniel Negreanu checked. The former then put out a bet on sixth, Negreanu called and the action repeated itself on seventh.
Hastings tabled the for a straight and eight-seven low, while Negreanu held the for a seven-five low. Even though they chopped that pot, both men are down from the last time we checked in on them.
Paul Volpe was eliminated in a three-way pot against Jon Turner and Mike Leah. Leah made a flush against Volpe, who was dealt rolled up aces. Neither player made a low, and Volpe hit the rail.

The Russian made the call and then check-called bets on both fifth and sixth. Both players checked on seventh and Matusow said, "Two pair." He then flipped the for fives and deuces. Zaichenko peered at his cards one last time, gathered them up and then tossed them to the dealer.
We caught the action on fifth street, where Ho check-called a bet. Pandya made a better board on sixth street, leading out, and Ho called. Ho called another bet on seventh, then mucked when Pandya showed for a full house.
We didn't catch the action, but we can confirm that Will Thompson has just eliminated David Levi. The cards were a bit jumbled, but here are the cards each player held.

Thompson:
We do know that Levi had a pair of jacks headed into seventh, which is where Thompson hit the to scoop the pot.
Ahmed brought it in, Mosseri completed, and the rest of the players folded. Mosseri bet out on fourth, Ahmed called, and the two bet back and forth on fifth until Mosseri was all in for 7,100.
Ahmed:
Mosseri:
Mosseri had a pair of eights and a low draw, and picked up a flush draw on sixth street. On seventh, Ahmed quickly turned up his down card - the - and Mosseri flipped over the .
"I get everything," he said excitedly.
