A middle position player raised to 1,600, Donny Mizrachi reraised to 4,075, and when it folded back around the original raiser pushed all in for 5,850 total and Mizrachi quickly called.
Mizrachi turned over 
and his opponent 
, and when the five community cards came 
, Mizrachi's opponent survived with a set of eights.
That hand knocked Mizrachi down to just over 20,000, and it wasn't long after he'd commit the last of his stack and be eliminated.

Action folded around to the small blind who raised to 1,450. Doyle Brunson, not one to be bullied, made the call from the big blind blind.
The flop fell

Brunson's opponent thought over his action for about a minute.
"I have a feeling you hit a straight," Brunson's opponent said. Eventually, however, a call was made. Brunson, in fact, did not have the straight. Instead, Brunson had trips with

When we arrived over at Table 69, Jason Mercier, Blair Hinkle and one other opponent were taking part in a hand that saw a 
board spread out on the felt. At this point there was around 5,000 in the pot.
All three players checked here on the turn and the dealer turned over a 
on the river. Another check from all three players would see Hinkle turn over 
, which was enough to send Mercier's cards, and the other player's, into the muck.

We didn't catch all the details on the hand, but we know that Peter Jetten has been eliminated as he was on the wrong side of the classic preflop cooler. Jetten got the rest of his chips in with 
but ran into his opponent's 
. The board brought no help, rolling out 
. That hand puts an end to Jetten's summer out here at the Rio.

Randy "Nanonoko" Lew opened to 1,200 from early position and was called by a player in middle position and another in the hijack seat. Action then folded around to Shannon Shorr in the small blind, who thought for a bit and then raised to 6,000. Randy Lew asked for a count of Shorr's remaining stack and then folded after some thought. The other two followed suit and Shorr scooped the pot.
Shorr, who recently placed third in Event 57: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em chipped up to 70,000, while Lew slipped to 61,000.
