Lahmani was all-in against Robert Wells on a flop reading 5♦10♠2♥, with Lahmani the player at risk.
Oshri Lahmani: Q♥10♣8♣7♥
Robert Wells: A♠A♥Q♦3♥
It was top pair for Lahmani, but he was still behind the over pair of aces for Wells.
The 9♣ turn would give the players quite a sweat, as it would increase the outs for Lahmani, but the A♦ river would seal the deal for Wells and send Lahmani to the payout desk.

P.J. Cha: K♠5♠
Robert Mizrachi: 8♠8♦
Mizrachi's set had Cha's two pair dominated. Unfortunately for Cha, the Q♦ river did not upgrade his hand, and he exited the tournament in 18th.
