Conor Beresford: 
Christopher Kruk: 
Beresford had the better hand going into the showdown, but that all changed on the 
flop. After the 
turn and

Rocco Palumbo shoved his last 168,000 from the cutoff and Igor Kurganov called on the button.
Rocco Palumbo: 
Igor Kurganov: 
Palumbo and Kurganov have been chatting it up today and the Italian remained all smiles, even when the Russian Team PokerStars Pro knocked him out:

Xiaoyang Luo: 
JC Alvarado:
Luo was delighted to see he was in a coin flip situation and the 
flop kept it that way. Luo needed a queen or diamond to win but missed on the 
turn. The 
river even improved Alvarado to a boat and Luo was gone in 14th.
