Maxx Coleman: J♥8♦4♥/4♦8♥9♣10♥
Elior Sion: Q♦XxXx/Q♥10♠A♠4♣
After Maxx Coleman completed, Elior Sion made it two bets to go and was called by Coleman. Sion then bet fourth and fifth streets with Coleman calling.
On sixth street after Sion bet, Coleman spent about a minute thinking before making a raise. Sion called, leaving himself 14,000 behind.
The players checked the river and Coleman showed his two pair of eights and fours, while Sion flashed his other queen which hadn't improved, before sending them to the muck.
Just a couple of hands later, Sion would be all in on third street against Chad Eveslage who made a pair of kings on sixth street, while Sion couldn't improve past ace-high and was eliminated.
Matt Vengrin: A♣10♥4♠/7♠A♦J♦7♦
Andre Akkari: K♠K♦9♦/9♥2♠A♠Q♠
Andre Akkari completed and Matt Vengrin made the call.
Andre called a bet from Vengrin on fourth street and then another on fifth street to put himself at risk.
Vengrin had made two pair by seventh street, enough to beat Akkari's lesser two pair and eliminate him from the tournament.

Joey Couden: K♥K♦/4♥2♥8♦4♣/A♣
Alex Livingston: J♥7♥/7♦J♦3♥3♦/3♠
Alex Livingston completed Joey Couden's bring-in and Couden defended with a short stack. On fourth street the duo exchanged bets and raises until Couden was all in for his last 20,000.
Couden's kings needed help against Livingston's two pair of jacks and sevens, and it would come on sixth street with a second pair of fours.
Livingston would need to fill up one of his three pairs on seventh and did so with the 3♠. Couden couldn't improve further and he was eliminated four spots shy of the money.
Alex Livingston: 2♣J♣/9♣5♣6♣A♣/5♦
Paul Mangine: Q♠Q♦/4♦2♦8♦8♠/6♥
Max Hoffman completed and Alex Livingston made it two bets. Paul Mangine made it three bets, Hoffman got out of the way and Livingston made the call.
Mangine checked and called a bet from Livingston on fourth street.
On fifth street Livingston checked and Mangine bet. Livingston called.
Mangine check-called another bet from Livingston on sixth street.
On seventh Livingston bet and Mangine took some time before making the call. Livingston showed the nut flush to win the pot as a frustrated Mangine noted that he also had a flush draw before throwing his cards into the muck.
