A series of preflop raises saw David Coleman get his 160,000 stack in the middle and Alfred Husary called from the cutoff.
David Coleman:
Alfred Husary:
Coleman didn't like what he saw after the cards were tabled and for good reason as the runout ended his tournament just before the final six hands were announced.

Action folded to Ryan Remington who raised from the small blind only to have Alex Foxen three-bet to 40,000 from the big blind.
Remington fired back with a 100,000 four-bet and then called off his 202,000 stack after Foxen five-bet jammed.
Ryan Remington:
Alex Foxen:
Foxen was ahead with his made hand until an ace appeared in the window on the flop.
The turn didn't change a thing and the river secured Remington his double-up.
