Andriyan Lebedev limped for 10,000 in early position. Action folded to Kenny Nielsen on the button, who raised to 25,000. Lebedev instantly moved all in for another 100,000 and change, but Nielsen wasn't fooled for a second. He called with 
, putting Lebedev at risk with 
. The flop came 
, and the turn brought the 
. A heart was no good for Lebedev, taking away two of his outs. The 
on the river made Nielsen's flush and sent Lebedev home in 17th place.
With Lebedev's elimination, we are down to our final 16 players, and the field has been redrawn down to two tables of eight. We'll play on for seven more knockouts in order to lock up the nine players who'll return for tomorrow's final table.

In case you're just catching up with us today and are unfamiliar with Green, check out this post from yesterday.
In the first of two disastrous hands for Samuel Aronov, he raised to 25,000, and John Chong called on the button.
Flop: 
- Aronov bet 43,000, and Chong called instantly.
Turn: 
- Aronov took another stab for 90,000. Another quick call from Chong.
River: 
- Aronov gave up and checked, and Chong checked behind. All Aronov could show was pocked fours. Chong turned up 
, and his flopped middle pair was enough for a giant pot.
The next hand, Aronov raised to 25,000, and Chong called once more. The flop came , and Aronov bet 35,000. Chong snapped of the c-bet by moving all in. Aronov folded miserably, looking at the 210,000 left in his stack. Chong is now the first player over the 1 million mark.
After a raise, reraise, and shove preflop, Jeppe Drivsholm was all in with 
against Brendon Rubie's . Rubie's loud Aussie rail rushed over to help their friend sweat the board. The flop brought the 
, giving Rubie a better flush draw than Drivsholm. "Nine of diamonds! Nine of diamonds!" screamed Eric Assadourian. The turn wasn't what the asked, but the did give him additional Broadway outs. Tony Hachem started calling for other cards, but Assadourian loudly insisted that they still wanted the nine of diamonds. And they did get a nine on the river, but sadly for Rubie, it was the 
. Drivsholm doubled up to over 300,000, while Rubie was crippled to under 40,000.
Brendon Rubie moved all in for his last 30,000 or so from early position and was called by Keith Hawkins. Rubie held the and Hawkins the 
.
The flop came down 
and Rubie picked up a gutshot straight draw. The turn added the 
and now Rubie had a double-gutter. The river wasn't one of Rubie's outs though when the 
fell and he was eliminated from the event. Rubie was the last Australian standing.
Five players saw the flop of 
in a multi-way limped pot. Samuel Aronov was first up and checked. Binh Nguyen was next and checked as did Albert Kim. John Chong also checked and then TJ Vorapanich moved all in. Aronov tanked and then moved all in himself, for less than what Vorapanich bet. Everyone else folded quickly after.
Vorapanich flopped an open-ender with the 
. Aronov showed the 
for top pair. His top pair held up as the turn and river came the 
and . Aronov was the player all in and doubled up to just about 490,000. Vorapanich was left with 60,000.

Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 1,000
In the biggest pot of the entire day, Jeppe Drivsholm crushed Mikhail Mazunin and took over the tournament chip lead. It was already a pricey hand when they got to the turn of a 
board. Mazunin bet, Drivsholm raised an additional 122,000, and Mazunin moved all in. Insta-call from Drivsholm, who had the stone nuts with . Mazunin was drawing dead with 
. After the meaningless 
on the river, the stacks were counted, and Drivsholm just had Mazunin covered with 460,000. Mazunin could only stagger away, stunned to be going from sizable stack to out in 15th place.
