The turn brought the 9♥. Haskell jammed for 105,000 and Arieh snap-called.
Evan Haskell: A♣9♣
Josh Arieh: Q♥10♥
Haskell was drawing to a chop after Arieh made a straight on the turn. However, the J♦ fell on the river which gave Arieh an even higher straight and eliminated Haskell.

Seven Card Stud
Action was picked up on fourth street with Dave Stann, who had started the hand very short-stacked, all in and at risk against Matthew Wolfson.
Dave Stann: J♦9♦/A♣10♥3♥Q♠/7♣
Matthew Wolfson: Q♣3♠/Q♦5♥9♥K♠/2♥
Wolfson was ahead with a pair of queens going into seventh street and Stann failed to improve after catching a seven resulting in his elimination while Wolfson took the pot.
No-Limit Hold'em
As recounted by his former tablemates, Scott Seiver shoved from the button for just over 30,000 and was called by Qiang Xu who covered him in the big blind.
Scott Seiver: Ax9x
Qiang Xu: J♣7♣
Seiver had the best of it preflop with an off suit ace-nine but the 6x7x10xKxJx runout gave Xu two pair to send the seven-time bracelet winner to the rail and take the pot.

2-7 Triple Draw
Action was picked up between three players just after the second draw with around 100,000 in the middle. Brian Haveson checked in the small blind, Scott Seiver bet from the hijack, Qiang Xu called from the button and Haveson called. Haveson drew one, Seiver stood pat and Xu drew one.
With no draws remaining all three players checked and Seiver announced he had an eight. Haveson then turned over 8x6x4x3x2x for an eight-six smooth and Seiver, with an exasperated expression on his face, mucked his hand.
Stud Hi-Lo
Action was picked up on fourth street in two-bet, four-way pot with Peter Kelly all in against Calen McNeil, Elizabeth Tedder, and Robert Tanita.
Peter Kelly: J♥J♦ / 5♠6♦6♥4♠ / A♣
Calen McNeil: A♥3♥ / A♦K♥3♦10♥ / 8♠
Elizabeth Tedder: 7♠4♦ / 6♠9♥2♣A♠ / 10♣
Robert Tanita: K♦4♥ / K♣2♠2♥7♥ / Q♥
McNeil was the aggressor the entire way as he led out on fourth through seventh streets, while Tedder and Tanita called him down the entire way.
McNeil made aces and threes, Tanita made kings and twos, and Kelly made jacks and sixes. McNeil's two pair was good for the high while Kelly hit the rail. Tedder made her low draw on sixth and her seven-six low scooped half, while Tanita took a hit to his healthy stack.
