The turn was the , giving Cimpan a set. And the made his hand a full house. He's now up to 490,000, while Andrzejewski slips to 123,000.
The first hand of the ten-handed table saw Gary Do limp from under the gun, Ben Grundy limp behind him, and Pawel Andrzejewski complete from the small blind. Then Cornel Cimpan raised to 50,000 from the big blind, and only Gary Do decided to stick around for the flop.
The flop came , and Cimpan promptly bet his remaining chips. Do folded, and Cimpan is now up to 280,000. Do slips to 170,000.
First in from the button, Hevad Khan put in a pot-sized raise to 42,000. Najib Bennani was in the small blind, and he was leaning over the table trying to eye up Khan's remaining stack. After a moment, he re-raised with a big stack of pink chips. Daniel Makowsky folded the small blind, and Khan quickly put his last 50,000 additional chips into the pot.
Showdown
Khan:
Bennani:
The board ran out completely dry for the young pro, coming . With that, Hevad Khan becomes our 11th-place finisher, heading over to the payout desk to pick up more than $18,000.
After Khan's elimination, the remaining 10 players have bagged up their chips and headed over to the secondary feature table area. We'll be on break for 20-30 minutes while the players fill out their bio sheets and recombine into one final table of ten.

Just got a count of the last 11 players' stacks. While doing so, the short stacks at one table (Khan, Kabbaj) were asking about the status of the short stacks at the other (Stockinger, Cimpan).
Here's how they all look at the moment:
Daniel Makowsky -- 585,000
Rami Boukai -- 510,000
Najib Bennani -- 505,000
Paul Parker -- 312,000
Benjamin Grundy -- 295,000
Gary Do -- 220,000
Pawel Andrzejewski -- 215,000
John Kabbaj -- 205,000
Cornel Cimpan -- 190,000
Hevad Khan -- 135,000
Sigi Stockinger -- 135,000

With the next elimination, it appears the players will be redrawing for seats around a ten-handed final table. Some objected to playing PLO ten-handed, but that appears to be the plan.
We'll also be moving over to the secondary feature table at that time from our current location here in the "Green" section of the Amazon Room, so there will likely be a pause in the action in order to get all of the players and their chips over to the table on the small stage.
The six-handed table folded around to Daniel Makowsky who raised to 30,000 from the button. Paul Parker then announced he was reraising pot from the small blind, and when Jan Collado called with the rest of his chips in the big blind, Makowsky decided to skedaddle.
Parker
Collado
The players stood up in order to witness their fate. The flop came , and Parker still led. The turn was the , though, and now Collado had a commanding lead. But the river brought the -- and a few "oohs" from around the table. "Brutal!" was the much-repeated comment.
Collado is out in 12th, while Parker now has about 295,000.
