In a blind-versus-blind situation, Ryan Teves moved all in for 116,000 from the small and was called by Lisa Hamilton in the big.
Showdown
Hamilton: 
Teves: 
Both players had huge hands in their respective blinds, but Teves was the one at risk. In order to survive, he needed to improve, though he didn't do it on the 
flop. The 
turn was just as useless to Teves, but the 
river was not as it gave him the winning pair, much to Hamilton's displeasure.

We didn't catch the exact action, but we do known that Jeffrey Barta got his stack all in preflop with the granddaddy of all hands, 
, which was well out in front of Vitaly Meshcheriakov's 
.
Unfortunately for Barta, the flop would deliver the to give Meshcheriakov quads! Barta couldn't catch running aces and his day came to a brutal end in 21st place, good for $12,603.

Michael Dentale opened for 25,000 under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to Max Steinberg in the cutoff. He opted for a three-bet to 57,000, which sent Dentale into the tank for a bit before he moved all in. Steinberg made the call and was primed to eliminate his opponent.
Showdown
Steinberg:
Dentale: 
As we've seen a couple times today in crucial hands, the dominator soon became the dominated. It happened when Dentale spiked a jack on the 
flop. Steinberg did pick up a diamond draw on the 
turn, but the 
was a big a brick as they come. Ship the double to Dentale.

Vincent van der Fluit raised to 24,000 from the button only to have Ali Sarkeshik move all in from the small blind for 195,000. Mikhail Timoshin then called from the big blind, which prompted van der Fluit to fold.
Showdown
Sarkeshik:
Timoshin: 
Sarkeshik needed help and found a little on the 
, but it was going to take more than a pair of fives to over comes Timoshin's pocket nines. The 
turn put out some chop options, but the river would miss Sarkeshik completely. He was eliminated in 20th place and leaves with a $12,603 consolation prize.

Lisa Hamilton, who you may recall won the World Series of Poker Ladies Event in 2009 for $195,390, moved all in from the button for 118,000. Max Steinberg was in the small blind and decided to move all in himself for 327,000, and surprisingly Minh Vu, who had both players covered, call from the big.
Showdown
Hamilton: 
Steinberg: 
Vu: 
Hamilton was in bad shape, while Vu needed to catch either an ace or king to score the double elimination. The 
flop gave Hamilton a little hope of catching another three, but the meant she'd have to do it on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
.
Hamilton was eliminated in 19th place, while Vu was left with just 18,000; meanwhile, Steinberg chipped up to 782,000.
