From under the gun, Michael Simon raised to 17,000 and John Coon reraised all in from the next seat for 51,500. Lori Nunes was in the hijack and attempted to reraise, but didn't put out enough chips so it was ruled just a call. Action then folded to Garry Gates in the small blind and he tanked for a few minutes. Eventually, Gates moved all in himself for about 91,000. Simon got out of the way at this point and then Nunes made the call.
Gates:
Nunes:
Coon:
Gates held the best of it, but that would all change as the flop rolled out to give Nunes a set. Nunes bounced from her chair and gave a fist pump with full knee action as she knew she took a big lead in the hand.
The turn brought the and gave Nunes a full house. It left Coon drawing dead, but Gates could still hit a queen or a seven on the river.
The river completed the board with the and that was all she wrote for Gates as well. Nunes scooped the massive 260,000-chip pot and eliminated both players from the tournament.
Action folded to Lori Nunes on the button and she raised to 20,000. Shaun Walker moved all in from the big blind and he moved all in for 88,500. Nunes tanked for a couple of minutes and then gave it up, to which her friend Brian Green, who is still in the event, yelled out, "You need to call any two there, there's so much money in the pot."
We've had a lot of action here during the orbits since we combined down to two tables, but we're so far without an elimination. Shaun Walker decided to give it a try, open-shoving all in for 41,000 total. Two seats over, it was his old pal Chris Ruby who made the call, and Walker was in bad shape as the cards were shown up:
Walker:
Ruby:
Once more, we could not shake a player out of the field as the dealer ran a board to keep Walker around. He's got twice as many chips now -- 94,000 of them, in fact -- and we still have 18 players left.
From middle position, Michael Simon raised to 14,000. Action folded around to Michael Kinzer in the small blind and he three-bet to 34,000. Simon made the call having 44,000 behind.
The flop came down and Kinzer bet 25,000. Simon raised all in for 44,000 and Kinzer quickly called.
Kinzer:

The turn was the and the river the , which allowed Simon to double up. Kinzer was left with 85,000 in chips.
Shaun Walker opened the pot to 10,000 before Chris Ruby three-bet to 30,000 two seats over. When it came back around to Walker, he tanked for a bit before reraising to 110,000 total. Ruby responded by moving in for 152,500 total, Walker called with his coverings stack, and the cards were on their backs:
Walker:
Ruby:
The flop gave Walker another nine outs to the win with the nut diamond draw. The turn stole some outs, however, leaving him dead to those nine diamonds and the other three fours in the deck.
River:
That's a miss for Walker, and he's forced to pay off Ruby's double, sliding his own stack down under 50,000 and into the danger zone with less than 10bb.
From under the gun, Patrick Karschamroon raised to 14,000. Jason Wheeler called from the button and Paul Hails called from the small blind. The flop came down and Hails bet 20,500. Karschamroon folded and the was accidentally exposed. Wheeler folded right behind and Hails won the pot.
A few hands later, Jason Wheeler raised from middle position to 11,500. Hails called from the hijack seat and Karschamroon called from the button to see the flop come down .
