Luke Edwards: 
Bernie Stang: 
Sam Vakili: 
Edwards needed to hit a runner-runner to stay alive. Stang had a pair of eights in his hand and nothing more. Vakili held two overcards and a flush draw.
The turn was the 
to now also give Vaikili a gutshot to a Broadway but keep Stang ahead. Edwards' fate was sealed as he was drawing dead.
The river completed the board with the 
for Stang to improve to two pair to eliminate Edwards and earn a full double-up through Vakili.
