Josh Ross held the chip lead for much of the day, but his run came to a crashing halt at the final table. After Tristran Coffin opened, Ross moved all-in for 124,000. Coffin called immediately.

The aces held up on this hand as the dealer rolled out a board. We're down to four players, and the deal negotiations have begun.
What a hand. Greg Miller moved all in for 117,000 from under the gun, and Marcy Jo Penkalski called directly behind. Action folded over to Rio Mansour on the button, and he moved all in for 62,000 more. Action was still pending, but Mansour mistakenly exposed pocket aces. The blinds folded, and Penkalski claimed she didn't see Mansour's hand before calling the additional 62,000.

Miller:
Penkalski:
Incredibly, Penkalski drillled a set on the flop, and she faded a re-suckout when the and completed the board. Since Miller had less he earned seventh place money, and Mansour is our sixth-place finisher. Penkalski is now the overwhelming leader.
Tom MacKinnon moved all in for 76,000 from middle position and Tom Scanlon called from the blinds. "My favorite hand," MacKinnon said as he rolled over kings. He was in great shape to double against Scanlon's , but Scanlon spiked a set on the board to eliminated MacKinnon in eighth place.
Shortly after folding his pocket queens preflop, Joe O'Keefe was all in with the against Greg Miller's , with Miller barely having O'Keefe covered. The hit both players, but O'Keefe needed to go runner-runner to catch up. He was unable to do that on the turn and river.
Joe O'Keefe opened from late position, Tom Scanlon three-bet from the cutoff, and Adam Greenly shoved from the small blind. O'Keefe folded, but Scanlon snap-called.
Greenly:
Scanlon:
The board ran out , sending Greenly out in 10th place. O'Keefe said he folded pocket queens and would have made a winning set on the river.
