Derek Mcmaster: 
Ewald needed to win his coin flip to stay alive and the flop 
gave him just what he needed.
"Yes!" he said, giving a fist pump to go with it. The turn 
and river 
completed the runout and scored him the double, bringing him back up to a stack of 10 big blinds.

and the turn came 
. Welu bet 50,000 and Johnson folded.
"No ace," said Sennes of his own hand, tabling 
.
"I have a set of deuces," responded Welu as he showed 
.
Sennes congratulated him on a nice hand and stood up to make his way from the table, realizing he was drawing dead as the river came 
to send him home in 17th place.

Gary Loeffler: 
Umut Ozturk: 
Loeffler went from having three outs to four as the flop came 
as Ozturk's top pair, top kicker gave Loeffler a draw to Broadway. However, that was the closest he would get to catching up as the turn 
and river rolled off the deck to complete the runout, sending Loeffler home in 18th place.
