Jung managed to make two pair, but it was inferior to the aces and tens of Forrest. Jung was eliminated on the hand and took home $29,399 for his 12th-place finish.

Chad ended up with queens and fives, but it was no good as Hastings hit aces and tens on seventh. Chad bowed out in 10th place for $34,500, no doubt pleased to pocket the extra $5K after Forrest busted the hand before.
A big hand just went down that resulted in the eliminations of Richard Sklar and John Monnette.
It happened when the two engaged in a raising war with George Danzer that resulted in Sklar getting all in for 88,000. Danzer then bet fourth, Monnette called, and the action repeated itself on fifth. Danzer bet once again on sixth and Monnette called off for his last 12,000.

Danzer tabled kings full of nines, which beat Sklar, who failed to make a low. Monnette squeezed out his last card, and when he didn't like what he saw he mucked.
"I just wanted to say hi to all the players at the Village Club Card Room in San Diego," Sklar told us as his final words.
