La Boissonniere got dangerously low and was all in under the gun for just about 2,600. George Wall went all in and Rong Xu went all in as well for more.
Boczek told La Boissonniere that he was now going to pass him on the leaderboard. It looked like La Boissonniere was likely to be eliminated. The flop came 
and the three all in players discarded before tabling their hands.
La Boissonniere was in the lead with 
for a pair of twos, Xu had 
for king high, and Wall had 
for ace high. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
and La Boissonniere tripled up. Wall won the side pot and Xu was left with about 25,000.
Within the next few hands, Xu and Boissonniere were all in again, this time against Christian Rho. The flop came 
and Rho showed 
against the [ac8d of La Boissonniere and the 
of Xu.
Neither Xu nor La Boissonniere could catch up and both were eliminated. Boczek now has a chance to try and bridge the 64 point gap on the leaderboard.
