“There is an all in and a call over on table 7” stated tournament director Joel Williams.
We do not know who shoved first but Steven Swalling and Vijayaram have got all the chips in on a flop, Swalling’s king-queen trailing to Vijayaram’s flopped set of queens.
Swalling did not hit the running kings he needed to stay alive and he exited in 33rd place while Vijayaram now has just shy of a million.
There has been an all-in and a call and it is Sam Ruha who was the at risk player, getting all the chips in preflop with versus the of Stephen Bantick.
The flop fell to keep Ruha in front and while the turn gave Ruha a set of jacks Bantick was still drawing live to a heart flush draw.
The river kept Ruha in contention and he doubled to 325,000 while Bantick has around 524,000.
Fedor Holz opened the action under the gun with a raise to 20,000 and it folded around to Haoran Zhang in the big blind who looked over a Holz and then threw in the call.
Zhang checked the flop over to Holz who took his time but eventually opted to continuation bet 25,000. It is Zhang’s turn to tank but he does not do so for long, eventually sliding out the call and it’s off to the turn.
Zhang checked once more and Holz mulled it over before sliding out a stack of yellow 25k chips with some 1k turquoise chips thrown in for good measure for a bet of 118,000 leaving himself 264,000 behind.
Zhang looked to be a believer and folded to drop to 765,000 while Holz has 530,000.
Ruzman Hussan gott his last chips in with up against the of Jeff Rossiter. The latter held as the board ran out . Another player down and out, 32 players remain.
Nicholas Wright opened for 23,000 and Christian Nilles called. Daniel Neilson squeezed all in from the button and both blinds released. Wright called all in and Nilles folded.

Daniel Neilson:
The board ran out and Neilson parted ways with 286,000 in chips, leaving himself 6,000. While he did triple up with seven-jack to ace-ten and ace-ten, he went down not much later with deuce-eight against queen-jack suited.
With the board reading and what looked to be around 100,000 in the pot, Jeff Rossiter had led out from the small blind with a towering stack of dark blue 25k chips for a bet of 300,000. This has Wakeman covered and sent the Aussie deep into the tank.
Wakeman started talking to himself trying to guess Rossiter’s range of hands.
“You’re putting me in a tough spot here.” Said Wakeman before apologizing to the table for taking so long over his decision. Wakeman eventually elects to fold, though.
“That was more fun for you than for me.” Quipped Wakeman to Rossiter who cracked a huge grin and raked in the pot; Rossiter is now up to around 1.2 million while Wakeman has around 200,000.
We caught the action on the river in a large pot between Frank Pezzaniti and Seth Davies with 400,000 already in the pot.
Pezzaniti is the player with position and with the board reading after a Davies check Pezzaniti bet out 250,000. Davies has just 180,000 left and after thinking it over called it off for his tournament life.
“Good call mate.” Said Pezzaniti, turning over .
It certainly was, Davies rolled over to win with a higher two pair and double up to 785,000 while Pezzaniti dropped to 480,000.
Brian Altman was the shortest stack coming in and the first one out. He got his last five big blinds in the middle with up against the of Haoran Zhang. The board ran out and Zhang was already wishing the other players good luck by the time the turn got out.
