Matt Hawrilenko was short when he doubled up through Matt Matros, but then he gave back those chips one hand later. Down to his last four bets, he got it all in, again against Matros, on a

Brandon Meyers was chip leader by a wide margin at the end of the last No Limit round. But 30 minutes of Limit had him on the ropes. All it took was one quick No Limit cooler to send him home in fourth place.
