A short-stacked Isaac Haxton doubled up on the first hand back from break, but it wasn't enough to stave off elimination for long.
A still-short-stacked Haxton got his chips in with 
against 
on a flop of 
. A brick apiece on the turn and river (
and 
respectively) failed to find Haxton, and his day is done before his dinner had a chance to settle.
"At least I doubled before I busted," Haxton said as he gathered his belongings.
Apparently nobody has told him you shouldn't bust from a tournament for at least thirty minutes after eating.
Tom "Donkey Bomber" Schneider was all in with his short stack holding 
, and he found a dominating call from Todd "Dan Druff" Witteles and his 
.
There was nothing for either player on a board of 
, and Schnieder has bombed out.
Witteles - 11,200
Michael Mizrachi was all in before the flop with 
, and he was racing for double or nothing against Noah Boeken and his 
.
The flop was a beautiful sight for The Grinder as it came out 
to give him a big lead with trip tens. He thought he only needed to fade a five, but in reality, he needed to be worried about running diamonds. The 
on fourth street was the first nail, and the 
that filled out the board sealed Mizrachi's fate, four-flushing him out the door just after dinner.
Boeken is up to 14,500.
We picked up the action on a flop of 
as Erik Cajelais was making a bet. His opponent called, and the 
appeared on fourth street. Cajelais fired again, and his opponent made the call once again.
The last card off was the , and the unknown player called one last bet from Cajelais. It was not a winning call. Cajelais smirked broadly and tabled the 
for the straight and the flush, and the straight flush!
That moves him up to 23,000.
Mark Newhouse raised from the cutoff seat, and Teddy Monroe (small blind) and the big blind both came along to the flop.
The dealer spread out 
, and the table checked around to the 
on fourth street. Monroe took the opportunity to make a bet, the big blind folded, and Newhouse put in the call.
The river card was the , and Newhouse called one more Monroe bet. "Newhizzle" turned over 
for top-top, and it was better than Monroe's 
.
Newhouse - 10,200
Monroe - 6,200
There were four-bets in preflop, and Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari (button) and his opponent in the big blind saw a 
flop. The big blind check-called a bet from Akkari, and the two two went to the turn, which was the .
The big blind once again check-called a bet from Akkari, and the players went to the 
river. The big blind decided to wake from his passive slumber leading out with a bet for a change, however Akkari would not be deterred and raised. The player in the big blind made the call, and then mucked when he saw the of Akkari.
The PokerStars Pro is now up 16,500.
We picked up the action from this raised pot just as the dealer was running out a flop of 
. Annie Duke was heads up with an unknown player in the big blind, and he check-called a bet from Ms. Duke.
On the turn, he checked again, and Duke bet again, but this time her opponent snuck in a check-raise, and Duke called the extra bet.
The filled out the board, and Duke called one last bet. Her opponent turned up , and his gutshot came through on the turn to take down the pot.
Duke drops to 12,500.
Chad Batista from the button made it two bets, and got called by the big blind. The players saw a 
flop, and the big blind check-called a bet from Batista leading to the turn. Once again, the big blind checked and then called when Batista put out another bet. The river was the 
and both players checked it down.
Batista held 
for a pair of fours, which was no good next to his opponents 
. Batista slipped to 11,000.
