Marcel Vonk: J♠2♠/A♠10♠6♠2♦/A♦

Ari Engel brought in, Marcel Vonk completed, and Engel called after some thought. On fourth street, Vonk bet, Engel raised, and Vonk reraised. Engel again weighed his options before tossing in a call.

Engel only had a few chips left behind, which were committed on fifth street. Seeing Vonk had already made his flush, Engel started saying his goodbyes.

Engel's runner-runner outs were killed on sixth street, and he was officially eliminated when his seventh card was turned over. The tournament was left with 16 players, who redrew across two tables.

Razz

Action was picked up on fifth street in a pot where Livingston had check-called a bet on fourth street from Avivi.

Alex Livingston: XxXx/6xAx2xKx/Xx
Tal Avivi: XxXx/5xAx2x8x/Xx

Avivi bet on fifth street and sixth street and Livingston called him both times.

On seventh street, Avivi bet once more and Livingston went into the tank. After some thought he tossed his hand into the muck.

"No," lamented Avivi as he quickly flipped over 4x3x for a wheel while raking in the pot. "Please call."
