The turn was the , and Calo led again - this time for 18,500. Martin called.
The river was a third heart - the - and Calo emptied the chamber, firing 46,500. Martin went into the tank, very displeased at the situation he was in. He rubbed his eyes a few times, stared at Calo and the board, then finally tossed forward enough chips to make the call.
Calo turned over for a rivered flush.
"Backdoor hearts," Martin muttered.
Calo remained silent, and after raking in the pot, he's flirting with a 400K stack.
A middle position player raised to 5,300 and the player in the cutoff called. Bernard Lee made it 14,600 from the big blind and the original raiser four-bet to 29,200.

Yang was ahead with a pair of tens for the moment, but the fell on the turn to give Fernandez a straight. Yang still had a ton of ways to reclaim the lead on the river, but the wasn't one of them, and he hits the rail with about an hour to go before dinner. Meanwhile, Fernandez joins the half-million chip club.

"Do I even have any outs?" the cutoff asked before rechecking his cards. "No," he said and tossed his cards to the muck. Per tournament rules, the dealer tabled the hand, which was the . It was an ill-timed bluff by the cutoff, who was officially eliminated when the was put out on the river.
