Having previously lost a part of his stack against the shove by Brian Rast, Jason Mercier was all-in for 710,000 from the small blind and looked up by Cary Katz in the big blind after the K♣7♦5♥ flop.
Jason Mercier: A♣K♦6♠4♣
Cary Katz: K♥9♦8♦3♥
The 10♥ turn and 6♦ river gave Katz a ten-high straight and Mercier was knocked out in 18th place.
David Benyamine raised to 350,000 on the button and Shahar Levi three-bet the pot to 1,110,000 with 265,000 behind in the big blind. Levi instantly got the rest of it in after the J♦8♠2♥ flop and Benyamine called.
Shahar Levi: K♦K♥Q♦3♠
David Benyamine: K♠Q♥J♥5♠
The 4♠ turn gave Benyamine a flush draw and he got there with the 6♠ river to send Levi out in 19th place for $105,000.
Anthony Zinno raised his button to 400,000 and Jason Mercier called in the big blind. Mercier then piled in his final 335,000 chips on the 6♦A♠8♥ hand and Zinno called.
Jason Mercier: A♣Q♣8♦5♥
Anthony Zinno: A♦Q♠Q♦9♥
Mercier flopped two pair and made a straight on the 7♥4♣ runout to double up and leave Zinno with around 200,000 chips.
The next hand, Brian Rast raised to 320,000 and Zinno called all in in the hijack. Cary Katz also called in the big blind and shoved for 175,000 on the flop of K♥7♣3♣.
Rast called and all 12 cards were opened.
Anthony Zinno: Q♥J♣10♥8♦
Cary Katz: K♦7♥3♥3♦
Brian Rast: 9♥9♦7♠5♥
Katz had flopped bottom set and that remained the best hand as the rest of the board bricked out. He doubled up while sending Zinno out in 20th.
Anthony Zinno had previously doubled up through Noah Schwartz and then won another pot. Schwartz then faced a pot-sized raise to 350,000 by Andjelko Andrejevic and moved all in for 605,000, everyone else folded and Andrejevic instantly called.
Sean Winter, who had doubled up in the previous hand, raised to 260,000 in early position. Christopher Frank then three-bet to 930,000 in middle position before Santhosh Suvarna jammed all in for 2,475,000.
The action did not stop there as Richard Gryko called all in for 1,105,000 in the big blind. Winter got out of the way before Frank complied with a call and the players showed down.
Richard Gryko: Q♣J♥8♣6♥
Santhosh Suvarna: A♥A♣10♠4♦
Christopher Frank: Q♥10♣9♥7♣
The board ran out 9♠8♠2♣2♠3♠ for Suvarna to hold with his aces. Frank took the side pot with two pair, nines and threes, and Gryko was eliminated in 24th place.
Jim Collopy raised to 175,000 in the cutoff and Dylan Weisman committed his stack of 605,000 on the button. Collopy made the call and the cards were tabled.
Dylan Weisman: K♣Q♦8♦8♣
Jim Collopy: Q♠9♥6♠5♦
Collopy made two pair on the Q♣2♥6♦ flop, which remained the best hand on the 10♦A♠ runout to eliminate Weisman in 25th place.
The 24 remaining players redrew for the final three tables of the tournament.
Chase Steely raised the pot to 240,000 first to act and Jim Collopy repotted. It folded back to Steely, who moved all in and Collopy called instantly.
Chase Steely: A♠A♦7♥3♥
Jim Collopy: K♠K♦2♥2♠
"The deuce is gonna hit," Gabriel Andrade predicted and was spot on with the 10♣10♠2♦ flop. Steely needed an ace or ten to survive but neither came on the 7♠ turn and 9♥ river.
