On the sixth hand of hand for hand play, Benjamin Stiefel raises to 10,000 in first position and Martin Ilavsky calls in the cutoff. On the button Erik Bauer moves all in for 154,000 which sees everyone fold except Ilavsky who calls with the covering stack.

The flop of Diamond 8Heart 6Diamond 7 provided Bauer some more outs in the form of a gutshot straight draw. The turn Spade A left Bauer drawing to any ten for a set or any nine for a straight to survive. The river peels off the Heart Q and Bauer exited the tournament as the last player to be eliminated of the day.
