Michael Van Sickle bet 4,000 from early position and the big blind defended.
The flop came 10♣9♥K♣, and both players quickly checked.
When the Q♠ peeled off on the turn, the big blind checked to Sickle. He led out for 6,000 and his opponent was quick to fold. Van Sickle revealed he was holding 6x6x, the same hand he won a pot from earlier.
A player in late position moved all in for 26,000 and Travis Pederson re-shoved over the top from the button. Action folded around and the late position player was at risk and racing.
Late Position: K♣Q♦
Travis Pederson: 9♠9♦
Pederson held the lead on the J♣5♦4♥ flop. But the Q♠ on the turn shifted fortunes in the hand, and the late position player was just one card away from a double-up.
But as fate runs in poker, Pederson hit his two-outer in the form of the 9♥ on the river to score the elimination.
Action was joined as the board was being dealt. Robbi Jade Lew was all in from the button, with Adam Pryor calling from the hijack.
Robbi Jade Lew: 4♦3♦
Adam Pryor: A♠8♣
With one card to come, the board showed 2♦A♥3♠2♥. Lew's smaller two pair would need help to improve, but the 4♥ river sent her away from the table and back into the late registration line to get a new stack.
Jamie Nixon moved all in from under the gun for 10,100 and was called by Rex Clinkscales in the cutoff.
Jamie Nixon: K♥Q♥
Rex Clinkscales: A♠9♣
Nixon was behind, but the flop of 7♦6♥4♥ gave the Brit additional hope with a flush draw. He lost outs when the A♦ landed on the turn and the 5♣ cemented his exit against Clinkscales' top pair.
Meanwhile, at a neighboring table we noticed that the early chip leader Dan Heimiller had busted out. It remains to be seen if the two-time bracelet winner will reenter before late registration closes at the end of Level 12.
Nível: 9
Blinds: 1,000/1,500
Ante: 1,500
Players are being sent on a 30-minute break as tournament officials color up and race off the 100-value chips.
Action caught up on the flop of an all-in hand between Xiang Lin on the button and a player to his right in late position.
The cards were on their backs and the late position player was at risk, with the board reading 5♦2♥3♣.
Late Position Player: A♠K♦
Xiang Lin: 5♣5♥
Lin flopped huge with a set of fives, but his opponent had a redraw to the wheel.
However, the 6♠ turn and 7♣ would seal it for Lin and send his opponent to the rail.
With the flop showing K♥9♣J♦ and action checked to him, Park Sung Woon bet 2,000 from the cutoff. The big blind was his only caller.
The A♣ appeared on the river. The big blind checked to Woon once more, but folded when Woon bet 3,000.
The cutoff bet for 3,000, and Jeremy Menard jammed all in for 32,800 from the big blind. His opponent made the call as both players revealed their hands.
Jeremy Menard: A♦K♣
Opponent: 7♠7♦
The board ran out 9♦J♦Q♥4♦8♦ for Menard's nut flush to scoop the pot.
