Hassan Nashar was seen exiting the tournament on a completed board of J?5?Q?K?J?. Nashar's A?10? was still face up showing his turned Broadway, but it was no good as Jean-Noel Thorel had Q?Q? for a full house.

Ren Lin opened 10,000 under the gun and Timothy Adams called in the cutoff before Erik Seidel defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 6?4?4?, and Seidel checked to Lin who continued for 10,000. Adams called and Seidel put in a check-raise to 23,000. Only Lin stuck around.

When the 2? hit the turn, Seidel jammed for the rest of his stack of about 40,000, and Lin sigh-called.

"Just a six," Said Seidel as he tabled his cards.

Erik Seidel: 7?6?
Ren Lin: K?K?

Seidel was unable to find one of the remaining sixes to crack the kings of Lin as the 8? completed board, eliminating him from the tournament.
