On a | | board we saw David Emmons bet out 5,350 from the big blind. His opponent tanked for quite some time, but eventually folded. Emmons showed his for a flopped two pair and his opponent laughed. He then tried to retrieve his cards to show that he had ace king, but couldn't find them in the first three cards.
"Yeah yeah, next hand. Nobody cares, we believe you!" Amnon Filippi said angry. They listened, the dealer scrambled the cards and they went on to the next hand. David Emmons still has a little under the 15,000 starting stack.
On a | board we saw Manuel Bevand in middle position check call a 2,200 bet from the player on the button. The fell on the river and Bevand made one stack out of all his chips, and moved them forward.

Bevand showed his with a painful face, and left the tournament.
Following a raise to 400, Amnon Filippi called in the cutoff along with Brendon Rubie and Kory Kilpatrick from the button and small blind. With the action on Elliot Hebden in the big, he made it 1,900 to force the initial raiser out as Filippi tossed in a call.
Rubie contemplated for nearly a minute before moving all in for his last 11,075 to force Kilpatrick's cards into the muck. Hebden shoved and Filippi mucked his face up.
Rubie:
Hebden:
With Rubie in desperate need to find a case ten to stay alive, the board would see him fall to the rail as Hebden stacked his chips to sit at just under 100,000.
