Bryan Hyden lost a chunk of his stack in a huge pot to the now dominating chip leader Elizabeth Medina, and a few hands later, he was eliminated. Most of the damage was done when Hyden’s Ace-Jack failed to suck out on Ilya Shvartsman’s pocket jacks. That left him with less than a big blind, and those few chips went in the middle on the next hand. He was called by three players, and when the board brought out four spades, he couldn’t beat the nine of spades being held by Jason Jung.
Hyden earned $6,550 for his efforts, and we are down to the final four!
