After a series of raises on third street, the action was capped with a short-stacked player having just 500 in chips behind. Roland Israelashvili bet on fourth, putting his opponent all in and allowing for the cards to be turned over. By the hand's end, Israelashvili made a ten-seven but it was not enough to best his opponent's eighty-five. Israelashvili watched as the chips were shipped to the next seat over and now sits on about 50,000 in chips.

No lows were possible and the at-risk player would need to pair up one of his cards in order to stay alive. He squeezed the card the dealer gave him, and with slight disgust turned the face up. That would be the end of his tournament and he would fall short of making the money. The floor announced that they were now in the money and play has resumed.
Just before the break, we picked up with the action on fifth street to see Bruce Walters already all in and David "ODB" Baker and Vietezslav Pesta playing for a side pot. Pesta led out on fifth with 5-2-A showing and Baker cut out a raise. Pesta called for his tournament life and all of the hands were tabled.
Baker showed for a seven perfect and Pesta rolled over for a pair of fives with a wheel draw. Baker continued to hold his lead through sixth and extended it even further on seventh, pulling a and making a sixty-four. Pesta pulled an and was unable to best Baker's hand. Walters, on the other hand, flashed a second jack and was also eliminated from play. Baker scooped the massive pot and now has 137,000 in chips.
