Two hands after making a big fold on the river leaving himself with only 120,000 in chips, Qinghai Pan raised from the button and both Nick Guagenti in the small blind and George Chen in the big blind called.
The flop of 8♠9♥10♥ saw all three players check. All three players also checked the turn Q♦.
The river fell the 4♣ and Guagenti bet. Chen got out of the way and Pan shrugged and motioned to the 20,000 left in front of him before calling for less.
Qinghai Pan: K♠2x 
Nick Guangenti: 9♣6♣
Guagenti's pair of nines was good to scoop the pot and eliminate Pan from the tournament.

Bradley Carter was left with only a fraction of what he started the day with when his pair of fours was bested by the pair of fives of Juha Helppi in a postflop war.
There was a whisper of hope for him when he tripled up from the small blind shortly after.
Just one hand later:
Three ways to the the turn reading 2♦J♦6♠6♦, Joseph Brodsky checked, Juha Helppi bet, and Carter put a raise in. Brodsky made it three bets and both opponents called. Carter was just short of the third bet.
The river peeled the 7♥. Helppi called one last bet but was shown the bad news when Brodsky showed the K♦10♦ for a flush.
Carter showed the 7♦8♦ for a worse flush and was sent to payouts.
