Keith Lehr raised to 7,000 from early position and Alan Schein called from the small blind.
Schein then check-called a bet of 5,000 on the flop before checking for a second time on the turn. Lehr bet 15,000, Schein min-check raised to 30,000, and Lehr snap-folded.
Meanwhile, Dan Smith has opted to re-enter the tournament.
Nick Schulman raised to 3,000 from the cutoff and both Ben Lamb and Zach Hyman, who were on the button and in the big blind respectively, called to see a flop.
Hyman was first to act and he led out for 3,000. Only Lamb called and it was heads-up action to the turn.
Hyman bet again, this time 7,500, and Lamb pushed back with a raise to 20,000. Not to be outdone, Hyman three-bet all in for roughly 60,000 and it worked as Lamb ditched his hand.
We thought Dan Smith was the first to go, but in fact it was Stefan Schillhabel. He just hit the rail so fast we did in fact miss it. Fortunately, he shared some details on Twitter before jumping back in action.

Christian Christner raised to 5,000 under the gun and then called Justin Bonomo's three-bet to 14,000 from the big blind.
The flop saw Bonomo lead out for 10,000, and Christner called to see the turn. Bonomo eyed up his opponent's stack of 58,500 and then announced all in. Christner wasted little time in calling off.
Bonomo:
Christner:
Christner was ahead with two pair, but Bonomo could still win with either an ace or non-jack spade on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the on the river. It was a blank as far as Bonomo was concerned and he sent over the vast majority of his stack.
