Fabrizio Buonaguro ran a weak ace into chip leader Anthony Koch's queens and said goodbye.
In the meantime, Mark Roberts got it in with ace-king and double big through Peter Bodnar, spiking an ace on the turn against his queens.
Joe Ciffa spazzed off with 
on a seven-high flop against Mike Latour's pocket kings, but he went runner-runner for a straight to leave Latour short. The defending champ went out the very next hand.
Plus, David Battaglia suddenly pulled out a few hundred thousand in green 25k chips from the back of his stack and actually has 700,000.

Jeffrey Roth made it 57,000 and Mark Roberts called before Alicia LaPorte Pachla shoved the small blind for 108,000.
Two calls meant it went three ways to a 
flop with Pachla all in. Roth checked, Roberts bet, and Roth folded. Turned out Roberts' 
flopped Broadway and Pachla's 
needed a runner-runner miracle or an ace to chop.
Neither came and they were down to 12 with Roberts leading the way.
Then, Jason Clark ran 
into Peter Bodnar's 
, leaving 11 left.

Anthony Tavolino just refused to believe Peter Bodnar had anything when he shoved 360,000 into a 500,000-chip pot.
The board was nine-high to the turn and Tavolino called with a pair of fives.
Bodnar didn't have anything, he had everything, or at least enough. He had pocket aces and they held after the river bricked.

flush draw.
