Dario Alioto was riding a short stack for the couple levels leading up to the money bubble, and he was still grinding after dinner, but we just saw him bust at the hands of Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.
We saw Alioto commit most of his chips, then draw two cards, while Mizrachi opted for just one. The rest of Alioto's chips got in the middle, and Mizrachi called, then stood pat while Alioto drew one. Mizrachi rolled over for the second best possible hand, and Alioto had actually made an low on the final draw, but it was no good for him and he is out in 27th place.
Meanwhile, Mizrachi jumped up to 155,000 after winning that hand.

Ali Sarkeshik was already all in when we arrived at the table. He drew two cards, while his lone opponent in the hand, Calvin Anderson, drew one. From there, Anderson would stay pat, while Sarkeshik would draw two on the second draw, before staying pat himself on the third. Anderson showed

Ola Amundsgard had been a fixture at the top of the leaderboard for most of the day, but nothing went his way after the dinner break, as he was just eliminated after back-to-back clashes with Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi. In the first hand, both Mizrachi and Amundsgard stood pat on the second and third draws, and Mizrachi bet in the dark both times. Amundsgard called, and Mizrachi showed , which bested Amundsgard's hand, dropping him to just 4,000 in the process.
On the very next hand, Mizrachi opened the action for a raise on the button, and Amundsgard tossed in the call from the big blind. He then proceeded to draw four cards, while Mizrachi drew two. Amundgard committed the last 700 of his chips, and Mizrachi called. Amundsgard then drew two, while Mizrachi drew one, and Amundsgard stood pat on the final draw.

Ali Sarkeshik has been sitting with the shortest stack in the room for the last half-hour at least, and at present is now down to less than a single big bet.
He's had a smile on his face the entire time, though, laughing and chatting with others as he managed to make it past the first pay jump. He's been explaining how in cash games he'd be putting his chips in readily drawing three cards, but in tournaments he plays differently.
The blinds are about to reach him again, though, so he'll have to commit those last chips soon.
