Hold'em:

Eivind Syslak was clearly pained. After raising preflop and being called by Kerry Stead, he took a flop of {2-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. Syslak bet after Stead checked, then watched in dismay as Stead check-raised. Syslak tanked for two minutes before making the call to the {A-Hearts} turn, leaving himself 12,000 behind. Stead bet 10,000, and again Syslak tanked for well over a minute. Finally, he raised all in for his last 12,000. Stead called.

Stead: {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}
Syslak: {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}

Stead flopped a flush draw and overcard, and hit his overcard on the turn. That left Syslak drawing to the two remaining nines. He missed; the river was the {2-Diamonds} to make the nut flush for Stead and eliminate Syslak on the bubble.

With Syslak's elimination, the remaining eight players are all in the money.
