Down to Six
The first two hands after the break were action packed and saw two players sent home.
The first hand saw Phil Vera eliminated. The action started when Chris Moneymaker opened to 4,000 and Scott Heiser called. Peter Priest raised to 12,000 and Mike Melkersen four bet to 30,000 and the action folded to Vera.
He decided to go all in for his last 6,000 thinking he would get about six to one on his money. The action folded back to Priest and he called the 30,000.
The flop was seven high with two hearts, 
and Priest checked. Melkersen shoved for 78,000 and Priest folded.
Melkersen had 
for ace high against the 
of Vera once Priest was out of the hand. The board finished 
and gave Melkersen the win and eliminated Vera.
On the next hand, Charles Murray, who had been waiting for a moment to shove was eliminated. He was seen exiting the tournament behind Vera.
