Trevor Hebert was the next to fall and right after, followed by Abdullah Faiz. The latter was all-in with a short stack and joked "I need an ace" when he got it in with the ... 
. Ronald Keijzer was well behind with the 
which caused some confusion on the table as to why Faiz would need an ace.
Sure enough, the board ran out 
and Keijzer made sevens full of kings.

Tom McCormick was down to a couple of big blinds Saturday, but somehow spun up his stack to survive to Day 2, and now in the money, he's still here with what he and his table have said is a never-ending string of short-stack survival and double-ups.
McCormick got his last 20,000 in against Aden Salazar, and after his 
survived against Salazar's 
with a king on the river of the 
board, the boisterous McCormick stood up with his trademark glass of red wine and proclaimed "I'm 19-0-4 in all ins! I can not be defeated!!"
The room laughed, and McCormick then raised his glass and said warmly, "seriously though, here's to the rest of the players in the 10k PLO. I love you all."

In a previous hand, Tommy Le had bet the flop for 35,000 in the cutoff to then fold when Yarin Cohen raised the pot to 195,000 on the button.
He then got involved in three-way action against Jeff Madsen from under the gun and Ronald Keijzer on the button. The flop showed and Madsen made it 37,000 to go. Le then jammed for 49,000 in the hijack and Keijzer reraised the pot to force out Madsen.
Tommy Le:
Ronald Keijzer: 
Le needed another diamond but that hope became obsolete when the turn improved Keijzer to quads, which made the river a formality.
