'The-Toilet' is Flushed -- By Shawn Hattery's Set

Shawn Hattery raises from the button to 23,000, and "The-Toilet" calls from the big blind. The flop comes {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and both players check. The turn card is the {2-Diamonds}, The-Toilet checks, Hattery bets 90,000, and The-Toilet calls all in for less than that with {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} -- a pair of aces. Hattery has {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a pair of threes.

The river card is -- the {3-Spades}! Hattery spikes a set on the river to win the pot, and eliminate The-Toilet (a.k.a. Faraz Jaka) in 22nd place, earning $14,445.

Anders Sebastian, Mark Zand

Anders Sebastian raises under the gun to 22,000, Mark Zand moves all in from early position for 55,000, and Sebastian calls with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Zand shows {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and he'll need to improve to survive.

The board comes A-10-6-10-3, and Zand flops a set and turns quads to double up to about 120,000 in chips.

Mike Sica Eliminated in 25th Place ($14,445)

Mike Matusow limps from the button for 8,000, Mike Sica moves all in from the small blind, and Matusow calls with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Sica shows {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and he'll need it to hold to stay alive.

The board comes {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}, and Sica flopped a set, while Matusow picked up outs with an open-ended straight draw. The ace on the river clinched it for Matusow with an ace-high straight.

Matusow jumps up from the table, yelling "Yes! Yes" and walking away to give himself some space and refocus.

Lance Yuen Eliminated in 26th Place ($14,445)

John Phan raises from early position to 21,000, Lance Yuen moves all in for 22,000, Randall McCallum calls from late position, and Phan calls. McCallum and Phan check down a board of {Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, McCallum shows {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Phan mucks.

Yuen shows K-10. He picked up an open-ended straight draw on the turn for a ton of outs, but he missed. Lance Yuen is eliminated in 26th place, earning $14,445
