Rob Hollink: A♦5♦/4♠9♠Q♦8♣/10♦ All in
Alex Foxen: 2♥2♦/A♣K♦Q♠9♣/3♠

A capped pot on third street put Derek Hanauer all in. Rob Hollink did not have much more behind, and he also committed all of his chips against Alex Foxen on fourth street.

Hanauer had made trips on fourth street, which remained the best hand throughout. Foxen just had a pair of deuces for the side pot, but Hollink couldn't find a pair nor low on seventh street, eliminating him from the 8-Game Championship.

No-Limit Hold'em

Matthew Schreiber was first to act and jammed 233,000 in the middle, worth just under 20 big blinds. Richard Bai called on the button, while the rest of the table folded.

Matthew Schreiber: A♠J♦ All in
Richard Bai: A♦K♠

"See, that is where my no-limit inexperience comes in," Schreiber lamented. "Is this sh*t?" he then asked Brian Rast in the adjacent seat.

Schreiber looked on as the 6♠5♠2♥4♠8♦ runout provided no help, and he swiftly left the tournament area once his former chips had been shipped to Bai.
