Ricki raises the blinds to $1,200 and Macaulay and Kevin call. Kevin flops a set and bets $1,200. Ricki aggressively raises $1,200. Macaulay folds, Kevin calls. The turn is revealed and, as in the previous round, he bets $1,200, and she raises another $1,200. Kevin moves all-in — she calls. The river offers no hope for Ricki. The huge pot makes Kevin our new chip leader.

Being almost "down to the felt," Sara moves all-in. Ricki and Macaulay call. The flop offers nothing for Sara; only two of the remaining queens will keep her alive as a 10 on the turn or river will give Ricki a winning straight. Ricki chases Macaulay out with a $1,000 bet in the side pot. With no queens on the turn or river, Sara is the first to visit Dave and Phil in our infamous Losers' Lounge.
Who was first to go? Who was saved by the river? Who earned our silver chip? Let's find out!

After Neil bets $1,200, Ricki calls and Macaulay, short stacked, moves all-in. Both Neil and Ricki call. When the flop pairs Ricki's aces, she adds $2,000 into the side pot. Neil calls the $2,000 and after the turn, she puts in another $2,000. Neil goes (almost) all-in too. Ricki calls. Neil needs a queen, a jack, or a 10 on the river to win and Macaulay needs a 7 to not get eliminated. To everyone's amazement, a 7 shows on the river and Macaulay is saved. Ricki wins the side pot, and Neil is barely hanging on with $100 left to his name. Mercifully, he is taken out on the following hand. Ricki's $2,000 bet essentially forces Macaulay all-in. She pairs her deuce on the flop and now he needs a king to stay alive. No king shows, so it's off to see Sara and Neil in the Lounge.
With a dominating "big slick," Ricki goes all-in; to everyone's bewilderment, Kevin calls. Ricki is heavily favored, especially when the turn helps neither player. Kevin has a 5% chance to catch his card on the river. Miraculously, an 8 is revealed. He takes this hand, this game, and the silver chip to reserve his spot at the championship table.
