Racener completed and Bill Chen raised, virtually committing himself while Racener quickly set him in for the rest. Chen looked to be in trouble on fourth but then made fives with a bigger kicker as Racener's board bricked off - fives with an ace queen kicker were good for the entire pot.

The remaining chips were in as follows:
Violette: / /
Benyamine: / /
Erik Seidel: / /
Beyamine fired on fourth, fifth and sixth before check-calling seventh. Seidel turned over for a 7-6-3-2-A and a baby flush. Benyamine was about to muck his hand but then realised, "Oh, I've not checked my last card!" he turned over and then the to house up for the high.
Violette couldn't beat either of these hands and simply mucked her cards, she goes out in 15th place.
Well, this one had some serious action to start. After Phil Laak brought it in, Phil Hellmuth completed. Mikhail Savinov called, but Cyndy Violette decided to make a stand with her short stack and raised. Laak, though, re-raised. Hellmuth ducked out, Savinov came along, and Violette called all in for another 5,000.
Violette had the lead on fourth street on board, but Laak was first to act and he bet. Savinov called again, but then check-folded on fifth street.

Justin Smith raised and Chris George made it two bets, Smith called then check-called fourth. On fifth Smith led out before putting in his last 17,000 on sixth.
