Roman Yitzhaki had dropped a lot of chips and was all-in after being in a raising war with Huck Seed. The former main event champion turned over
against Yizhaki's 
and a board of 
was enough to put pay to his hopes.
Joe Serock open-shoved for his remaining 35,000 in chips, David Chiu called from the button, Scott Dorin called from the small blind and James Van Alstyne called from the big blind.
Dorin, Van Alstyne, and Chiu checked down the
board. Serock held
for ace-high, Chiu showed 
for a pair of fours and both Dorin and Van Alstyne mucked. Chiu dragged the pot as Serock hit the rail in 11th place.
A large pot between Joe Serock and James Van Alstyne saw the action go check check on the
flop before Serock checked the turn. Van Alystyne bet 100,000 and Serock thought long and hard before calling with about 210,000 behind.The river was the
and Serock checked again with Van Alstyne moving all-in for his last 165,000 or so. Serock made the call but instantly threw his cards into the muck when he saw his opponent's 
. The tournament director turned them up to show his 
Serock has about 45,000 left.
We caught up with this hand on the turn, Mike Wattel making a pot-sized bet of 100,000 which left him with only 13,000 behind. After a long think, Wahlbeck called. The rest of Wattel's chips went in the middle when the
came on the river and Wahlbeck called. Wattel turned up
for a king-high straight. Looking about as irritated as a Finn can look at the poker table, Wahlbeck winced and tried to muck, but as Wattel was all in, he was forced to show. Wahlbeck turned up 
as the pot was shipped to Wattel, who is now up to about 340,000.

Joe Serock completed on third street, [Removed:163] raised, Serock reraised, and Sheikh called. The last of Sheikh's chips went in on fourth street and Serock called.
Serock was ahead with four cards to an eight low. Sheikh improved to a draw to a seven on fifth street while Serock paired his ace, but Serock made a jack-low on sixth while Sheikh hit a pair of fours. Serock improved to an 8-7 low on seventh street, Sheikh still drawing live and hoping to hit an ace, a three, or a six to make a better low. Sheikh's river card was a queen, however, sending the online legend home in 12th place.

[Removed:164] has managed to recover some chips from Joe Serock. He 3-bet preflop and then fired a
flop with just 45,000 behind. Serock thought about it but folded.
Of all the games to watch, Triple Draw is arguably the least entertaining for the spectators to watch.
However, Todd Brunson has been in the thick of the action so far.
First he raised with James Van Alstyne calling in the big blind. Brunson drew one each round against Van Alstyne's three then two then one.
Brunson bet after the first two draws then called a bet on the third. Alstyne declared a pair of sixes and Brunson showed
.Next hand saw Brunson call Joe Serock's bet. Both drew two and Brunson then bet with a call following. Both then drew one card and Brunson check-called. On the final draw Brunson drew one again and Serock stood pat and bet after Brunson checked.
Brunson showed a pair of fours and then mucked.
