Kevin Davis opened to 85,000 from middle position and got called by Jordan Scott on the button, and the big blind.
All three checked the Q♥A♦8♦ flop to see the 4♠ fall on the turn. Davis bet 135,000, and only Scott called.
On the 6♦ river, Davis checked, Scott put in a bet, and Davis called.
Scott tabled 4♦4♣ for a set, but Davis had a bigger set holding 6♠6♣ and took the pot.
Adrian Lopez opened to 90,000 from the cutoff and James Tsou three-bet to 400,000 on the button. Action folded back around to Lopez, who asked, "Are you trying to go broke before dinner break?" before sticking in a call.
Lopez check-called a 400,000 bet from Tsou on the J♠9♣5♦ flop, but check-folded after a lengthy tank facing a 1,100,000 bet from Tsou on the K♥ turn.
"Show one time," a tablemate asked. Tsou re-checked his hole cards and sent them into the muck before collecting the pot.
"You just missed a big one," Oren Haziza said as their table had received a face lift with two new players in Patrick Clarke and Gerardo Hernandez. However, the appearance of Irishman Clarke was short-lived as his pocket aces were cracked by the pocket jacks of big stack Neal Corcoran.
The next hand wasn't as big as Haziza opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Corcoran called, as did Abdullah Al-Shanti in the big blind. Al-Shanti check-folded the 5♥5♣2♠ flop to a bet of 100,000 by Haziza, while Corcoran called.
Haziza led the 5♦ turn for 275,000 and Corcoran folded.
David Levy was all in for 420,000 and at risk against from the big blind against Tyler Montoya in the cutoff.
David Levy: A♦3♠
Tyler Montoya: A♠K♥
The 7♣8♦4♣10♣2♦ runout didn't save Levy, and he was eliminated from the tournament.
Brandon Cantu opened to 80,000 from the hijack but Adrian Lopez in the small blind three-bet to 280,000.
James Tsou in the big blind went into the tank and decided to four-bet to 840,000. Cantu asked for the count, but folded.
The decision was a bit more difficult for Lopez, who went into the tank. But he eventually folded as well, and Tsou flipped over A♦Q♦.
Heads-up on a flop of 4♣3♦2♣, Danielle Andersen bet 275,000 from early position and Troy Quenneville called under the gun.
Both players checked the 4♠ turn. The river was the 2♠ and Quenneville led out for 180,000.
Andersen called, then mucked once Quenneville showed J♣J♠ as he took down the pot.
Jayphong Nguyen opened to 80,000 in middle position and Ho Lee three-bet the cutoff to 215,000. Lonny Eisenberg then shoved from the small blind for just over 600,000. Nguyen folded, but Lee made the call.
Lonny Eisenberg: A♠10♠
Ho Lee: A♦K♦
Eisenberg was the underdog but managed to find his way to safety was the 8♣2♥2♣6♦8♠ runout meant they chopped the pot.
Ren Lin opened to 90,000 from the hijack and Nicholas Howard three-bet to 250,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Lin, who made it 600,000 to go.
Howard mucked A♠10♣ face up and Lin slammed down the 5♠ before collecting the pot.
"Call! Call!" Lin pleaded.
"I didn't have enough of a hand," Howard replied.
"In the last hour I raised three hands...[Howard] three-bet me each time," Lin said.
Bruno Porto raised to 80,000 from an early position with 8♥8♣ and action folded to Julio Trimmer in the small blind who called 6♠5♠. Joseph Bold sat with K♥Q♦ in the big blind and also made the call.
The flop came J♥Q♥4♥, putting Bold ahead with a top pair and a flush draw. Trimmer and Bold checked, and Porto bet out 100,000. Trimmer raised to 275,000 and Bold made the call.
With Porto folding, players went heads-up to the K♠ turn. Trimmer bet 450,000 and Bold shoved for 1,250,000. Trimmer folded and Bold took a huge pot.
