We caught the action on fourth when Eli Elezra bet and received three calls. Both Elezra and a short-stacked Brian Hastings got all in on fifth, meaning there was side action between Yuval Bronshtein and Gavin Smith headed to sixth. The latter ended up calling a bet from the former, and then Bronshtein check-called a bet of seventh.
Elezra: 
Smith: 
Bronshtein: 
Hastings: Muck
Smith made a straight on seventh to claim the high, and Bronshtein's seven-six was good for the low. Both Elezra and Hastings were eliminated on the hand, and since the latter was the shorter stack he was awarded 16th place while the former took 15th.
