Action was picked up on sixth street in a pot between Men Nguyen and John Seaton.
Men Nguyen: XxXx/2♦7♦6♠9♠/Xx
John Seaton: XxXx/4♥3♦J♥J♠/Xx
Seaton bet on sixth street and on seventh street with Nguyen contemplating his decision on each street. After some time passed, he put in the chips to call.
Men showed 7♣6♣2♥ for sevens and sixes which was good for the pot as Seaton showed Q♣2♠5♣ for only jacks.
The following hand, Seaton was all in from the bring in and fourth street was seen by four players.
John Seaton: XxXx/2♣6♥A♠J♦/Xx
Men Nguyen: XxXx/4♠8♦7♠8♠/Xx
Issa Tadros: XxXx/J♣9♣Q♦10♥/Xx
Eli Elezra: XxXx/7♠10♣7♦ (Folded on fifth street)
Eric Buchman: XxXx/A♦9♠9♥ (Folded on fifth street)
Action checked to Tadros on fourth street and everyone called.
On fifth street, action checked over to Tadros who bet and Elezra and Buchman folded, leaving Nguyen to ponder his decision before deciding to call.
Sixth street saw Nguyen make open eights and he bet with Tadros calling behind.
Nguyen bet once more on seventh street and Tadros began shuffling his chips.
"You got a full house Men?" Tadros asked as he thought about what to do with his cards. Eventually he tossed in the chips and the hands were tabled.
Nguyen turned over 8♥7♠4♥ for eights full with an eight-seven low and Tadros flashed an A♥K♣3♦ for an inferior Broadway. Seaton turned up Q♦10♥9♦ for just ace-high and he was eliminated from the tournament while the seven-time bracelet winner scooped a massive pot.
At another table, Salah Levy was eliminated when his rolled up aces could not hold up against a set of fours that made a full house on seventh street.
