Ben Yu had the bring-in and James Obst completed to 25,000. Yu called, and then called a bet on fourth street.

On fifth, Obst bet his last 25,000, and Yu called. Each player's board ran out as follows until seventh street:

Yu: {J-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} / {x-}
Obst: {8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} / {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{A-Hearts} / [x]

Yu was in the lead with his split deuces, but Obst took the advantage on sixth when he paired his ace.

On seventh, Yu immediately revealed his final card to be the {6-Hearts} to give him two pair, and as Obst needed to find any ace, king, nine, eight, or deuce to stay alive, he could only squeeze out the {7-Clubs} and was eliminated in 6th place for a $37,904 payday.

Martin bet on fifth street and Cappello was all in for his last 33,000.

Joseph Cappello: {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs} / {5-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs} / {x-}

The Ace meant Martin had taken the lead. And after no help on sixth street, apart from Martin taking away another of Cappello's fives, it was down to seventh street.

Martin drew the {9-Diamonds} and Cappello the {6-Spades} and he was eliminated in seventh place.
