After earlier knocking out Gus Hansen, Tommy Hang has now eliminated Phil Galfond from the tournament as well in a razz hand.

Hang ended up drawing with his remaining cards for an 8-6-4-2-A. Meanwhile Galfond kept picking up eights — — to end with an 8-7-6-3-2 and hit the rail with about 83 players still left.
Still just hours removed from his runner-up in Event #52: $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em (Six-Handed), Galfond tweeted afterwards that last evening's finish may have been occupying his thoughts some today:

"It's Canada Day," we heard an excited Greg "FBT" Mueller at the start of Day 2.

So from all of us at PokerNews, and Mueller himself, HAPPY CANADA DAY!
