Steven Rubinfeld opened to 11,000 only to have Bastian Fischer three-bet to 27,000.
Rubinfeld moved all in for his last 75,600 and Fischer made the call.
Rubinfeld: 
Fischer: 
The 
flop kept Rubinfeld in the lead, but the 
on the turn saw him needing any diamond or eight to stay alive.
Fortunately for Rubinfeld, the 
landed on the river to keep him alive and up to 165,000 in chips.
Despite a fortunate double through several hands earlier, Alain Medesan has been sent to the cashier after moving all in with 
in the big blind and being looked up by initial raiser Joel Bidnick's 
under the gun. Obviously, the board bricked out to award Bidnick the pot and a now 300,000 plus stack.

Sean Prendiville opened to 8,500 from the hi-jack and found a call in the cutoff before Simon Persson moved all in for 33,700 from the big blind.
Prendiville made the call as the player caught in the middle passed.
Prendiville: 
Persson: 
The board ran out 
to see Persson eliminated as Prendiville climbs to 270,000 in chips.
Maria Maceiras Lapido just suffered a hit that she can ill afford, putting Jason Jacintho all in with 
versus 
, but coming unstuck on a dramatic 
board. This sliced 25,300 from her stack to leave her with just 17,000.

Catching the action with the board reading 
, John Myung found himself all in against an opponent for his last 64,500 into a pot of roughly 20,000.
Myung:
Opponent: 
Myung would fade the one-outer on the river when it landed the 
, as he raked in the pot to move to 157,000 in chips.
Facing a raise to 9,000 from under the gun, Tyler Cornell three-bet to 23,500 from two seats over.
His opponent made the call before both players checked the 
flop.
The turn landed the 
and after a check, Cornell fired out 17,000 and his opponent made the call before jamming for his last 96,200 when the river landed the 
.
Cornell went deep into the tank for over three minutes before making the call.
Cornell's opponent tabled his for a complete air-ball, and it would be Cornell's for middle pair that would eliminate his opponent while seeing his stack rise to over 380,000 in chips.
Alain Medesan is thanking his lucky stars after doubling through with 
versus 
. He came over the top of a button raise from the big blind for a total of 31,300, before spiking a seven from heaven on the river of a 
. As a result of his good fortune, he now has 80,000.
I love the name Matthew Waxman. He sounds like a Marvel Superhero. I can just picture him now in mask and cape, ridding the world of evil wax and driving around in his waxmobile. Anyhow, I digress. Waxman was just involved in a big pot which resulted in the demise of Woo Shin (another great name).
After raising to 7,200 from the hijack, Shin made the call on the button leading to an 
flop. Waxman led for 12,000 and Shin called. On the 
turn, Waxman opted to check, before calling a bet of 32,000. The river then came the , which triggered an all-in from Waxman.
Without hesitation, Shin made the call, but quickly mucked upon being shown for the rivered set. "Was I good on the turn?" probed Waxman. "You can say, you're out." A disgruntled Shin simply shrugged his shoulders and exited stage left.
Waxman may actually be a super hero after all as he's now on a gargantuan 385,000 and second in chips only to Anthony Spinella.
Tyler Cornell and Zac Holyoke appear to have built up a rivalry of Rocky and Apollo Creed proportions, and when the action folded around to them in the blinds, they clashed once again.
I only caught the very end of the hand, but with around 40,000 in the middle and a board waiting patiently on the felt, Holyoke bet 17,500 from the big blind. Cornell paused, before reluctantly splashed three orange chips and some shrapnel onto the felt before him. Holyoke showed , which was more than enough to take the pot.
Holyoke - 230,000
Cornell - 245,000
