Howard Mann Eliminated in 7th Place ($9,960)

David Kluchman raised to 300K and Howard Mann moved all in for his last 290K in the small blind. Andrew Kloc called from the big blind.

The flop came [Js][7d][2c] and both players checked. The turn was the [9s] and Kloc checked. Kluchman bet 300K and Kloc folded.

Kluchman [Jc][Jd]
Mann [Ah][3c]

Mann was drawing dead to Kluchman's set of jacks. A meaningless [Ac] fell on the river and Mann was eliminated in 7th place.

Dukaj [Kh][Jd]
Cunningham [7h][7s]

The board ran out [Qc][3s][2c][9d][8c] and Cunningham's sevens held up to win the pot and knock out Dukaj in 8th place.

Yuan Huang Eliminated in 9th Place ($4,620)

David Kluchman limped in for 100K and Yuan Huang called from the small blind. William Cunningham checked his option and all players checked a flop of [Th][5h][2d].

The turn was the [8d] and Huang moved all in. Cunningham immediately made the call and Kluchman folded. They turned over:

Huang [As][9c]
Cunningham [8h][2c]

The river was the [Ts] and Cunningham took the pot with his two pair, eliminating Huang in 9th place.

Kloc [Kc][Kh]
Santoro [Qd][Qs]

The flop came [Ah][Td][6h] and Kloc maintained the lead. But the [Qh] on the turn gave Santoro trips. However, the [5h] fell on the river, giving Kloc a flush and eliminating Santoro in 10th place.
