The player on the button raised to 1,600 and Layne Flack popped it to 4,600 from the small blind. The player in the big blind made the call and the button passed.
The flop came down 
and Flack bet 5,300. His opponent made it 15,300 to play and Flack called, checking when the 
hit the turn. The player in the big blind went all in for about 30,000 and Flack angrily folded. "I'm going to bust this guy!", he proclaimed.
Flack slipped to about 25,000 after the hand.

Ryan Daut had bet 2,500 into a flop of 
and got a call from the other player involved in the pot. The turn was the and both players checked.
The river was the and Daut wouldn't check again, making a bet of 5,200. He was called but mucked his cards when his opponent tabled 
.
With the loss of that pot, Daut is down to 49,000.
And just like that, Trishelle Cannatella was missing from her seat a few minutes later.
Conclusion - now busted.
I'm not a religious man, but I think there must be a heaven at least as Kara Scott has just arrived in my section, armed with a now 80,000 stack. Soon after taking her seat, she reached a 
flop versus the small blind, the pot suggesting a three-bet-call type of preflop action.
After her opponent had checked, Scott slipped 10,000 into the felt to put the decision back on the small blind. Within seconds you knew he was folding, lifting his cards off the felt, shaking his head and asking, "Really?" Of course, it wasn't a double bluff bluff, and moments later he folded his 
. Scott didn't return the favour, and coolly slid her cards into the muck.
Trishelle Cannatella found herself in a spot of bother after calling a short-stacked opponent's push on a 
flop. Cannatella was holding 
for top pair, but the all-in player's 
straight draw came in on the turn and the 
river changed nothing.
"That was uneventful," she sighed, "Oy vey."
Down to just 5,500, Cannatella wasted no time in getting her last in with 
against Henrique Pinho's 
. The board came down 
and she doubled to 11,000 - still somewhat precarious at this stage, but considerably better than busted.
A player in the hijack seat opened to 2,000 and another player in the cutoff flatted before Jon Friedberg three-bet to 7,300 from the big blind. The original raiser almost immediately moved all in, the player in the cutoff got out of the way and Friedberg went into the tank.
Friedberg was covered by his opponent, and counted his stack (~28,000 chips) before finally folding.
"I had 'em," his opponent sighed, turning over two aces.
Friedberg nodded in acknowledgement, and although his stack took a hit, he still has his tournament life.
Earlier this level (in an unreported hand) Darvin Moon doubled up a short stack by calling that player's all in with pocket jacks on a queen-high board. Moon's opponent had ace-queen. The hand pushed Moon down to about 35,000, and he continued dropping from there.
On his final hand, Moon was on the button for a flop of 
. His lone opponent, David Hannani, bet 4,100 into a pot of 4,000. Moon jammed all in for 22,875 total. Hannani tanked, rifling chips while an ESPN camera crew materialized. After a few minutes he called with 
. Moon showed just top pair and no appreciable draw, . The turn 
and river 
sent last year's runner-up heading out of the Amazon Room for the last time in 2010.
We arrived at John Racener's table to see him playing a pot against a single opponent and a board reading 
.
There was about 40,000 in the middle before the players checked the turn. When the river came Racener's opponent check-called a bet of 28,000 and showed . Racener said "six" before mucking his hand and is now down to 80,000.
