On a board reading 
and a large pot of over 125,000 in the middle already, Antonio Buonanno asked to see the remaining stack of Tom Gottlieb. He peered around the dealer to look and counted out his opponents remaining stack. After a few moments he announced all in to force Gottlieb to the test. Gottlieb folded his hand fairly quickly and Buonanno pulled in a nice pot.
Kiryl Radzivonau raised to 5,500 from the cutoff and Tzenato Nano three-bet to 14,500 in the small blind. The big blind folded so action was back on Radzivonau who shoved. Nano snap-called.
Kiryl Radzivonau: 
Tzenato Nano: 
The flop came 
which didn't change things as neither had a spade in their hand.
The turn was the 
which meant that Nano picked up a gutshot to a straight.
The river was the 
to give Nano a straight indeed. Nano's stack was counted first and the dealer confirmed Nano had 78,200 behind. Radzivonau counted out his own stack and saw he was covered as he had 76,100 in total. No more main event for the Belarusian player here in Las Vegas as he made his way out of the tournament area.
The cards of the player in the five seat were already in the muck and Kartik Ved raked in the pot with his 
still tabled for a full house on the 
board. According to Dirk Luenzer, Ved had three-bet and his opponent just flat-called with aces to end up second-best.
"I played fast, he took a long time," Ved added in table chat while he was busy integrating the chips into his own stack.
Nick Schulman and Francisco Pena went to the flop which came 
. Pena was first to act from early position and led out for a bet of 8,000 which was called by Schulman from the button.
The turn came the Pena checked and Schulman bet 18,000 which Pena called. The river paired the board with the 
. Pena checked and Schulman checked behind.
Pena turned over the and Schulman mucked his hand.
A short-stacked Carlos Chang shoved everything he had all in. To his left, Ronald Kral, who wasn't covering him by a wide margin, came over the top.
Carlos Chang: 
Ronald Kral: 
The best hand remained ahead on an 
board and Chang was eliminated.
Jared Hamby shoved his last 30,700 from the button and Anthony Spinella isolated from the small blind, forcing a fold from Brian Dennis in the big.
Hamby rolled over , and while he had two live cards versus Spinella's 
, the 
flop was a disastrous one. Hamby stood up, preparing to leave the table, and the 
turn sealed his elimination, leaving the 
river a formality.
Bracelet winner Joey Couden was involved in three-way action on a board reading 
. Andy Bloch was seemingly all in for his final T-100 chip, while the rest of his stack had already gone in before the flop.
Robert Preston, seated in the small blind, had 20,000 in front of him on the flop. Couden raised to 125,000, enough to put Preston to a decision for his remaining, 59,500 in chips. He pondered for a while before calling it off for his tournament life.
Andy Bloch:
Robert Preston: 
Joey Couden:
Couden was miles ahead with top-top and faded the other players' outs on the 
turn and river to score the double elimination.
Lawrence Greenberg started the day with just under 100,000 chips but has almost doubled that after the elimination of two opponents.
Murray Littleton started the day with less than ten big blinds, and Mikhail Semin with less than thirty, but the three got their chips in early in the first level.
Lawrence Greenberg:
Murray Littleton:
Mikhail Semin:
The board was with Aces holding to send both Littleton and Semin to the rail.
"At least you got the turn," someone said to Littleton who let out a wry chuckle.
"A good start to the day!" another player said to Greenberg as he stacked his chips.
Christopher Rourke raised to 6,000 from the hijack, Seth Davies three-bet to 16,000 from the small blind, Rourke tanked for a bit before he four-bet shoved for about 39,000 and Davies called.
Rourke: 
Davies:
The board ran out 
, giving Rourke a set of queens to double through Davies.
Jen Harman bet 5,000 from the cutoff on 
and Robert Schulz check-raised to 16,500 from the big blind. Harman peeled and both checked the 
, bringing a 
. Schulz bet 34,000 and Harman counted out calling chips before going the other way and mucking.
