On a heads-up flop of 3♦2♦2♥, Aidan Jacobs got his chips in with the 8♦8♠ and was looked up by Gilbert Tin Fook with the Q♣Q♥. No miracle escape followed with the 3♣ turn and 4♥ river and an annoyed Jacobs tossed his time bank cards towards the dealer before leaving the tournament area with plenty of frustration.
The fifth table broke as the field dropped below 40 players still in contention and table five received two new faces. However, none of them were involved when the usual duo of Benjamin Lingenfelder Jr in the cutoff and Gilbert Tin Fook on the button headed to the A♠Q♠8♣ flop. Lingenfelder Jr check-called for 2,200 and then checked the K♣ on the turn.
Tin Fook now bet only 1,000 followed by plenty of table chat and Lingenfelder Jr folded.
"You had no outs?" Roy Bitton inquired and Lingenfelder Jr replied "why else would I fold for just one thousand". Tin Fook flashed the 10♦ before collecting the pot.
Following a raise by Ivan Jarosz and a button call, Jonathan Hoal in the big blind squeezed to 10,000. Only jarosz called and then faced a bet of 6,000 on the K♠8♥5♥ flop. Jarosz jammed for 21,900 and Hoal used one time bank before he folded the J♦J♠ face-up.
Raja Vempati was all-in for only 6,200 and tabled the A♣Q♦, then leaped out of his chair when he was called by Corel Snyman with the A♥8♥. There was no upset on the 10♦7♣4♠4♣4♥ board as Vempati doubled thanks to his superior kicker.
A short-stacked Chris Saraglis had just started receiving a table massage a few minutes ago and was then all-in with the A♠10♥. Teren Ramnundlall looked him up holding the A♣K♣ and fell behind until the Q♣9♠8♦10♣ turn.
With plenty of outs at his disposal, Ramnundlall hit the J♣ on the river and scored the knockout in style with a royal flush.

Upon completion of level five, only 37 players out of the 57 entries remain and they have been sent on a scheduled 10-minute break. Another four levels of late registration remain and the dinner break is also still to follow.
Three ways to the 9♥9♣2♠ flop, Farisani Khosa checked and Gilbert Tin Fook bet 2,000. Roy Bitton called only for Khosa to then check-shove for 19,600 total. Tin Fook asked for a count and sigh-folded while Bitton said "I am behind but I call".
Khosa showed his 4♥4♦ and Bitton then added "or maybe not behind" as he revealed the dominating K♠K♣. The 10♦ turn and 8♥ river were blanks, sending Khosa to the rail.
