Boom-boom-boom! Three hands, three players out.

This time Stewart Scott tangled with chip leader Tino Lechich, with Scott all in before the flop.

Lechich {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Spades}

The flop was {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Lechich's kings remaining in the lead. The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and the river was the {5-Clubs}. Scott's hand could not improve and he was eliminated, taking home $10,648.

After being crippled down to 34,000 in chips, Rainer Quel was able to stay alive for a few orbits just by winning the blinds. Unfortunately, it was all over for him when this hand came up.

Quel raised the pot to 105,000, TIno Lechich re-potted, and Quel called his remaining 25,000.

Quel {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Lechich {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{3-Spades}

The flop was {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, making Lechich a full house. The turn was the {4-Hearts}, the river was the {5-Hearts}, and Quel hit the rail.

Stewart Scott Doubles Through Karlos Farah

Score another one for the short stacks.

Stewart Scott moved all in for 70,000 and Karlos Farah called.

Scott {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Farah {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The flop was {J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}, with Farah's kings still in the lead, but the {5-Diamonds} spiked on the turn, making Scott trips. The river was the {J-Hearts} and Scott doubled up to 165,000 while Farah was left with 100,000.

Action Slows

Since reaching five-handed play, the action has slowed considerably. There have been very few pots raised pre-flop and a bet on the flop has typically been enough to take it down. Both Barry Carter and Karlos Farah are currently short-stacked and have been able to survive by picking up the blinds with all in raises before the flop.

The next player out will receive $6,776 while the winner will take home $22,264-- a $15,488 difference.
