On table #31, a three-way all in spelled disaster for Nirvair Sandhu. Having the least chips involved, Nirvair was holding 
. Hicham Hammoud was holding 
. He had more chips than Nirvair, but less than Matthew Di Perna who covered both players and had tabled

The board was out: 
; giving a full house eights over kings. The hand sent Nirvair to the rail and allowed Hicham to double-up.
In a flash, the action flared up on table #35 where Nicholas Soller was claiming another victim. Paul El-khouri was all in with

. As soon as the flop came out Paul got up and started to pack-up his belongings. Everyone agreed that the flop was tailor-made for Shooter:

on the turn sealed Paul’s fate, and to add insult to injury another spade showed up on the river , sending Paul home in 10th place.
