Ian O'Hara: 
/

Michael Laake pushed his last few remaining chips into the middle on fourth street and was called by Ian O'Hara.
The cards were tabled and it was a pair of aces held by O'Hara in the lead against Laake's pair of deuces and low draws.
The dealer ran the cards out and things ended as they began with O'Hara in the lead with his now improved two pairs, aces and fours, and Laake was eliminated in 12th place and took home $22,536 in cash for his effort.

Marco Johnson: /

Michael Laake: /

After being left short-stacked in the previous hand against Johnson, Deeb was all-in for less than an ante and headed to fourth street along with Seidel, Johnson, and Laake.
The betting was led by Seidel with both Johnson and Laake having called each street.
On seventh street, Seidel fired one final big bet and both gentlemen called and mucked after being shown the bad news when Seidel tabled a seven-high straight flush for the scoop, which in turn eliminated Deeb in 13th place for which he took home $22,536 in cash.
