Eric Hicks had gathered quite some attention from the ESPN cameras, claiming to be the chip leader, and he indeed has been hovering near the top of the counts. Just now he knocked out an opponent with aces versus eights when both hit a set, then folded to an open-shove for 35,000 and mucked the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} out of the big blind face up.

Not in anymore is Germany's Robin Hegele, who walked out of the tournament area and explained that his four-bet shove with pocket tens was called by an opponent with queen-jack suited, a queen appeared on the flop and that was it for the 27th place finisher of the previous year.
