After Jeff Cote opened the action with a raise to 6,000, Randal Flowers shoved all in for 58,000 from the button. Rachel Kranz, who had just a few more chips than that, then moved all in from the small blind and both the big blind and Cote got out of the way.
Flowers:
Kranz:
"You'd better stand up," someone at the table told Kranz, clearly referencing something that had happened earlier in the day. Kranz listened and got up out of her chair, but she reversed course when the flop came down 
!
Kranz had flopped trips and Flowers shot out of his chair and began collecting his things. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Flowers, and he was sent out the door in 41st place.

Action folded to Simeon Naydenov in the cutoff and he raised to 5,000. The button folded, and then Elish Patel announced that he was all in for 29,700. The big folded and Naydenov, who had some chips to spare, thought long and hard before making the call.
Patel: 
Naydenov: 
It was a good call by Naydenov as he had Patel dominated.
"Sit down, it's going to be a chop," someone at the table told Patel when he stood up. The 
flop suggested otherwise. Patel didn't look hopeful, and what little hope he may have had disappeared after the dealer burned and turned the 
to leave him drawing dead.
The meaningless was put out on the river for good measure, and then Patel was escorted to the payout desk to collect $3,893 for his 64th-place finish.

Gregg Merkow got his last 15,000 all in preflop and was racing against Steve Gross.
Merkow:
Gross: 
Merkow was on his feet to see if he could find an ace, queen, or hearts, but he was left shaking his head when the 
flop gave Gross a set and a hammerlock on the hand. The 
turn paired Merkow, but it was of no consequence and actually left him drawing dead. The meaningless completed the board on the river and then Merkow took his leave from the tournament in 73rd place.
