On a flop, we saw Marlon Milne lead out with a bet and Brandon Guss make the call for most of his remaining stack. He got the rest in on the turn, and he was in a bad spot.
Milne:
Guss:
Guss' pair of sevens had him drawing from behind for his tournament life, and the river was a blank. That locks up the pot and the knockout for Milne, and Guss has been dispatched in 11th place.
Robby Rasmussen raised to open the pot, and both Marlon Milne and Brandon Guss followed in to a three-way flop.
It came , and Milne led out with the first bet. Guss raised, Rasmussen reraised, Milne folded, and Guss called.
Guss check-called single bets on the turn and river, too. At showdown, Rasmussen's was the only hand tabled. Kings full were the winner, and Rasmussen is pushing his way up the chip counts.
We'll go get another round of counts in a moment as things continue to be very swingy.
It's the end of a long and perilous road for Zimnan Ziyard. He's just been eliminated in 12th place after three days of roller-coaster poker in which he was down under 1 big bet or less several times.
Hold'em:
His final hand began with him open-raising his last 31,000 into the middle under the gun. David Rogers and Ylon Schwartz (big blind) came along with him, and they checked to the river on the board as Ziyard stood up in between them sweating his fate. On the river, Rogers made a bet, and Ziyard figured that might not be good news. When Schwartz folded, Rogers tabled for two pair.
Ziyard rolled over his — good, but second best by the river. He has been eliminated in 12th place, but he received a nice parting compliment from Ylon Schwartz.
"Great player," Schwartz acknowledged. "You'll make a lot of money."
This one's not really "a lot of money" for Ziyard, but the $13,000+ he'll pocket is a respectable consolation prize for his run.
Sanjay Pandya just got himself all in and drawing pretty slim against David Rogers. Rogers had a pair and a six-low, and Pandya was on a combo draw. The five relevant cards were , and he needed some help. The river was some help. The dealer blessed him with the , the one-out scoop card. Both halves go to the shorty, and he's found the first double.
Allen Cunningham has no intentions of going quietly. He was all in for 34,000 on fourth street with the showing, up against the of Elior Sion.
Cunningham: () / /
Sion: () / / (x)
Cunningham was behind until sixth street where he made trip threes. That was the hand he ended with, and Sion needed to pull a six, eight, or jack to win the pot. His river was a blank, though, and Cunningham has increased from 34,000 up to 119,000 with that win.

When Ziyard called, Schwartz revealed , having made his flush on the first five.
