Derek Sudell: 
The flop increased Sudell's chances greatly when the 
came out, giving him a spade flush draw. The turn was the

"I think we all liked that runout," said another. Each elimination comes with a pay jump at this point in the tournament.
"It took me a minute to process that it didn't hit," said Dowdy.
