Action folded to McLean Karr on the button and he raised to 75,000. Sam Stein, in the big blind, re-raised the pot. Karr put the the rest of his stack, roughly 350,000, into the middle and Stein called.
Karr:
Stein: 
"I race well!" said an excited Karr. Stein chuckled, hoping that would not be the case this time.
The flop came down 
and put Karr ahead with top pair. The 
turn kept him there, but the river delivered a cruel 
to give Stein a set, ending Karr's tournament in 8th place.
Stein, meanwhile, upped his stack to about 1,500,000.
Stephen Chidwick raised to 50,000 from the hijack only to have Michael Benvenuti bet pot, leaving himself just 64,000 behind. The blinds got out of the way and Chidwick made the call. When the flop came down 
, Chidwick led out and Benvenuti committed his remaining chips.
Benvenuti: 
Chidwick: 
Chidwick's sixes were ahead, but Benvenuti was a favorite with his plethora of draws. The turn left Chidwick looking for an ace, king, queen, or club to win the pot, but it was not in the cards as the paired the board. Chidwick's small pocket pair held to eliminate Benvenuti in ninth place.
