The players seem to be adjusting to their new surroundings and taking in the spectacle that is the WSOP feature table; as such, play has been extremely tight the past ten minutes. As a matter of fact, we have yet to see a single showdown.

As Matt Hawrilenko was being eliminated at one table, Tam Hang was hit the rail at the other. We didn't catch the details, but Hang has been eliminated in 12th place, for which he'll take home $28,990.

After having doubled through Domenico Denotaristefani in the previous hand, Matt Hawrilenko was all in and at risk again the very next hand against the same opponent.
Board:
Hawrilenko:
Denotaristefani:
Denotaristefani had flopped a set while Hawrilenko had turned top two. Hawrilenko would need a king or a nine on the river to survive.
The on the river was of no help to Hawrilenko and he was eliminated.

Barry Greenstein raised from early position on to face a three-bet from Isaac Haxton in the cutoff and a four-bet from Darren Woods in small blind. Greenstein called, as did Haxton, and it was three-handed to the flop. Woods led out, both his opponents called, and the appeared on the turn. Again Woods bet, Greenstein called, and Haxton folded.
Woods bet yet again on the river and Greenstein quickly called. "You're a sick man, Barry," Woods said. "You got an ace?" he asked as he turned over .
Sure enough, Greenstein flipped over for the winning hand. "I'm not sick. I had a reason," Greenstein said with a smile.

Steve Landfish raised on the button and Hoyt Corkins called from the big blind. On the flop, Corkins led out and Landfish called. The action was the same when the hit the turn except this time Corkins was all in.
Corkins:
Landfish:
Landfish would need any seven, nine, jack or queen to eliminate Corkins. The river was the to pair the board though and Corkins would survive as yet another short-stack doubled up.
