Double Elimination: Craig Popowcer, Ben Tang ($2,673)

Earlier in the day, we noticed that Craig Popowcer's seat was empty. We erroneously believed that he had busted. Not so, we were told at dinner break! He was alive and healthy. That is no longer the case.

In a three-way hand with George Markakis, Popowcer and Ben Tang both got all their chips in the middle. Popowcer was drawing at an eight low, but missed it. Tang made a king-high flush, which was one rank worse than Markakis' ace-high flush. Markakis scooped the pot and eliminated both opponents. They each will collect $2,673 from the cage.
