Only a few hands later, Rostislav Tsodikov was eliminated during stud. His nines would not hold up against Jens Voertmann’s queens. A 7th place finish would earn Tsodikov $47,990.
Stud claimed another victim, when Steve Zolotow pushed all in with a pair of sixes on fourth street. He was called by Hoyt Corkins. Corkins held a flush draw that hit on seventh street to eliminate Zolotow.
Zolotow, finished in 6th, earning $47,990.
Jared Davis was the next player to fall, also during stud. Voertmann would send Davis home after moving all in on seventh street with a set of aces; two of which were hole cards. Davis would call with a pair of sixes showing. Davis’s 5th place finish would reward him with $61,702.
During hold’em, Hoyt Corkins would move all his chips into the pot after an AdTsKd flop. Corkins would show KhQc when Marcel Luske called with Ac9d. The As turn and 3h river would improve only Luske and Corkins would be sent packing in 4th place, winning $81,698.
It would be three hours before another player would be eliminated. Luske would find himself all in during stud against Voertmann. The cards at the end of the hand:
Luske: (9h5h)9cQh4dJs(x)
Voertmann: (Jh9d)Ac7h8cAh(Kc)
Voertmann’s aces would be good enough to win the hand. Luske pocketed $110,264 for his 3rd place finish.
