Just 392 players remain where 440 started the day. Amongst those to fall, are the following recognizable players:
We got there on the turn in a pot between Jose Gonzalez (big blind) and Nathan Gozlan (under the gun) with the board reading 
.
Gonzalez checked and the dealer burned and put the 
out on the river. But, Gozlan hadn't announced his action just yet and didn't seem intent on checking. He, in fact, wanted to bet.
The floor was called and ruled that the river card would be put back in the deck if Zaragoza was to call.
Gonzalez did call and the floor got the and put it back in the deck. He scrambled all the cards, shuffled them, cut them twice, shuffled them again, cut them again, and did one last shuffle, cut, and burn before saying "You know how many times it happens, that the same card comes back?"
Well, wouldn't you know it, the indeed fell on the river again!
The players couldn't believe it, and some jaws dropped.
Gonzalez checked and Gozland bet 6,600. Gonzalez called and saw he lost to Gozlan's 
.

The action folded to Giuliano Bendinelli in the small blind and he shoved all in. Big blind Rens Feenstra called with 
and was well ahead of Bendinelli's
