Michael McKenna: A♥K♥/A♦4♦J♥5♥/9♣
Ben Yu: 9♥9♦/5♣7♣Q♥5♠/5♦
Michael McKenna was short-stacked as he went to fifth street with Ben Yu. The duo exchanged bets and raises until McKenna was all in with a pair of split aces versus Yu's nines in the hole.
Sixth street saw each player pick up a five, which gave Yu two pair. Then for good measure he hit the last five in the deck on seventh to make a full house and eliminate McKenna.
Players are now redrawing for the final two tables.
The final 17 players have headed out on their final ten-minute break of the night. When they return, one final 90-minute level will be played before play wraps for the night at approximately 2:00 a.m. local time.
Bryce Yockey: 7♠5♣/7♥5♠4♣9♥/K♠
Alex Livingston: K♦K♣/2♥3♣9♠9♣/J♥
After Bryce Yockey completed Alex Livingston's bring-in, Livingston came back and two-bet Yockey. Yockey called with his short stack and continued onward.
Yockey then check-called a bet on fourth street, then after Livingston bet fifth street, Yockey raised, Livingston re-raised, and Yockey was all in.
Yockey was ahead with two pair, sevens and fives versus Livingston's buried kings. Yockey's lead didn't last long as Livingston spiked a second pair of nines on sixth street and Yockey couldn't fill up to save himself to be eliminated in 18th place.
Dan Shak: K♥Q♥10♠/K♦4♣Q♦7♣
Julien Martini: XxXx/9♦10♦6♠5♦ Folded on Sixth Street

Maxx Coleman: 3♦3♠/3♥A♣3♣10♣/8♣
Chad Eveslage: XxXx8♥/8♠8♦9♣6♣
A pot of nearly 200,000 had been built by seventh street and even more money went in on seventh street with Maxx Coleman and Chad Eveslage exchanging three bets each before the cards were finally revealed after Evesalge just called the third bet from Coleman.
Coleman showed his threes in the hole for quads, saying he was rolled up to start the hand. Eveslage showed a third eight for trip eights which went into the muck, sending a big enough pot to Coleman to make him the first player over a million chips in the tournament.
Julien Martini: XxXxXx/2♥5♦4♥Q♥
Brian Yoon: XxXxXx/Q♣K♣7♠8♣
Action was picked up on fourth street. Brian Yoon bet and Julien Martini called.
Action repeated on fifth street. On sixth street Yoon bet again. This time Julian Martini made it two bets and Yoon made the call.
On sixth street Yoon checked and Martini bet once more, putting himself all in and at risk. Yoon thought for about a minute before throwing his cards into the muck.
A player at the table asked Martini to show the bluff and Martini showed one of his down cards, the 5♣. Players at the table speculated that he probably had a flush.

Alex Livingston: XxXx/4♣6♣Q♠ - folded fifth street
Paul Mangine was all in on third street with split sevens versus Alex Livingston and Bryce Yockey.
Mangine's potential executioners checked fourth street, but Yockey bet fifth and Livingston folded.

Brian Yoon: K♦J♦5♠/K♥4♦2♥7♦

Robert Mizrachi: 2♠2♥Xx/4♦6xQxAx
