Sinead Priestley: A♣A♠
Carl Shaw: K♣Q♣
The flop came 10♠10♦8♣, while Priestley remained in front on the 9♠ turn but Shaw picked up a straight draw. The river came the J♣.

Hong Pham: 5♣5♦
Eminoglu was ahead with his flopped pair of aces and held on through the 3♣Q♣ turn and river as the player affectionately known as the "Mad Turk" doubled up.

Francis Obadun raised to 20,000 in the hijack, then called when button Nathan Jones shoved for 235,000.
The players waited for hands at other tables to finish before turning over their cards as a large crowd once again stormed the table. "I won't do it until everybody is sitting down," Obadun said as the floor had to tell spectators to leave.
Nathan Jones: A♦A♥
Francis Obadun: A♣K♣
Jones had woken up with aces, and while Obadun picked up some chop outs on the 4♣5♥2♦ flop, the 6♠ turn and 7♥ river were harmless and Jones doubled up.
"Plays itself, doesn't it," Obadun said as he handed over the pot.

Matthew Eardley raised to 16,000 in early position and Francis Obadun called on the button. Ryan Otto then three-bet to 82,000 in the small blind and only Eardley called.
The flop came 7♣6♠Q♦ and Otto slowed down and checked. Eardley fired out 45,000 and Otto called before both players checked the 2♣ turn.
The Q♣ fell on the river and Otto moved all in. Eardley, with around 210,000 remaining, burned through three time banks as a large crowd gathered around the table. He eventually folded and Otto took the pot.

Carl Spencer was down to just 20,000 when he moved all in from the button against cutoff Min Ji.
Carl Spencer: 2♦2♥
Min Ji: K♥K♠
The 3♣6♣A♥5♥6♦ board provided no relief and he fell victim to Ji's kings.
With 71 players now remaining, play is going hand-for-hand until there is one more elimination.
