Toby Joyce had his short stack in the middle and was put at risk by Jennifer Cassell.
Toby Joyce: A♣J♦
Jennifer Cassell: A♦Q♦
Joyce was dominated and his situation went from bad to worse on the Q♠8♣3♥ flop as Cassell made top pair. A K♠ on the turn did give him a Broadway draw, but the 6♦ river bricked off, ending Joyce's run.

JP Rounce-Sue opened from the hijack and Fabian Gumz defended from the big blind to see the 7♣4♥A♣ flop, where Gumz checked and Rounce-Sue fired 55,000. Gumz then check-raised to 140,000, and Rounce-Sue called.
A 4♣ hot the turn and again Gumz kept up the aggression with a bet of 165,000, which Rounce-Sue called to watch the 10♠ complete the board. Gumz took some time before he fired 510,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Rounce-Sue didn't need to think for too long before he folded, and Gumz took the pot.

Play will resume just after 6:20 p.m.
Shayne Sim opened the hijack to 100,000 and Louis Luo called from the cutoff. Daniel Klinger was in the small blind and also called.
All three saw the Q♠A♣5♥ flop where it got to Sim, who fired out 75,000. Luo called and Klinger folded.
A 4♠ dropped on the turn and Sim slowed down with a check, then Luo bet 200,000. Sim let it go.
