Picking up with the action on fifth street, Calvin Anderson fired out a bet and Max Pescatori tossed out a call. Anderson led once again on sixth and found a caller in Pescatori. The two peered at their seventh street cards and Anderson pushed out one final bet. This time, however, Pescatori came over the top with a raise. Anderson thought for about 20 seconds before dropping out a call.
Pescatori rolled over for a wheel to take the high and the low. Anderson mucked his cards and Pescatori boosted his stack to around 430,000.
At the exact moment when Sergey Altbregin was knocked out we also lost French top pro Bertrand Grospellier. Randy Ohel, the current chip leader, was kind enough to explain to us what happened.
Ohel ended up scooping a big three-way pot against both Grospellier and Christopher Wallace, as the chip leader managed to make two pair, kings and queens. Grospellier mucked on seventh street and hit the rail in 16th place.
Picking up with the action on fifth street, we found John Cernuto lead with a bet. Max Pescatori thought for a moment before tossing out a call. Chen folded and the two were heads up to sixth.

"Ten-seven?" asked Cernuto. "Nine-six! Ship it!" He threw on the felt and was pushed the pot. He now has about 350,000 heading into the final two tables.
