The second time Markus Ross was all in against Chouity on

. The 
fell on the river and Ross doubled.
Over on table 6, there would fall a casualty though. Russian player Nikolay Baryshnikov opened for 11,500 under the gun, and Louis Salter pushed for 68,500 from the button. The small blind thought about it for a long time, but eventually folded. Baryshnikov snap called.
The wait was for the other tables to complete their action. "You have a pair?" asked Salter. Baryshnikov did not reply.
The floor than announced the cards could be turned over, and Salter got the bad news. His 
and 
looked all pretty when he got them, but Baryshnikov's 
was miles ahead.
Salter already left the table, and an even bigger crowd gathered around his table. The 
on the flop made someone in the rail shout "Split!", and Salter returned and watched over the shoulders of the crowd as the 
hit the river. "Seven!" someone shouted, "Seven from heaven!"
Salter was still smiling, but the 
made an end to that.
Salter left the tournament as the last player without any money, the remaining 45 players were all in the money.
