The action folded around to Adam Hendrix on the button who shipped all in for around 600,000. Michael Jozoff woke up with a premium in the small blind and called to put Hendrix at risk.
Adam Hendrix: Kx10x
Michael Jozoff: 10♣10♦
The board ran out J♠5♦3♠10♠5♥ and Hendrix was drawing dead by the turn after Jozoff picked up a set of tens.
Action was picked up in a hand on the turn with Sergio Aido in the small blind and Joao Vieira in the big blind with a pot containing 320,000.
The board read 9♠Q♦8♣7♦ and Aido bet 220,000, which Vieira called.
On the river 2♦, Aido sized up to 655,000 which left him just one 5,000 chip behind. Vieira thought about it for a few seconds but tossed his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to Aido.
At another table, Thomas Boivin was eliminated.
Calvin Anderson just recently lost a big pot to Brian Rast and was left with just 450,000 chips. He then got the last of his chips in the middle against Roman Hrabec who barely had him covered.
Calvin Anderson: K♠J♣
Roman Hrabec: A♣10♠
The flop fell A♠A♦6♠ and Hrabec took a massive lead with trip aces. The 9♣ on the turn left Anderson drawing dead to the 8♠ on the river.
Meanwhile, at the feature table, Lander Lijo was seen exiting the tournament as well.
Roberto Perez shoved all in for 375,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Nick Maimone in the big blind. Maimone gave it some thought and eventually decided to make the call.
Roberto Perez: A♥9♠
Nick Maimone: K♥J♣
The flop came Q♥J♦4♣ and Maimone spiked a pair of jacks to take the lead. The 9♦ on the turn paired Perez, but it was not enough as the 7♠ completed the board.
Kristina Holst moved all in for 240,000 from the cutoff and in the small blind Frank Funaro moved all in to isolate which saw Dan Smith fold J♣2♣ face up in the big blind.
Kristina Holst: K♦10♠
Frank Funaro: A♣10♦
The board ran out J♥4♦4♣A♦J♠ and Funaro's aces and jacks with a ten was good for the pot while Kristina exited the tournament.
