Steven Zhou: J♣J♦
Sandaev was looking for an ace, but couldn't find it as the 9♦7♠8♥Q♦10♠ runout meant he was out in 17th.

Kahle Burns made it 100,000 to go from the hijack and David Pham three-bet to 225,000 from the button. When it got back to Burns, he shoved for 1,100,000, and Pham snap-called!
Kahle Burns: K♠K♣
David Pham: A♥A♠
It was a nightmare scenario for Burns whose kings were way behind the aces of Pham. The flop of 8♣10♠4♦ was as dry as they come and the 7♣ turn left Burns with just one chance to stay alive. Miraculously, the K♦ fell on the river, giving Burns top set and sending him soaring up the counts.

Noel Jaber raised to 100,000 on the button and Yuanting Wang defended his big blind.
Wang check-called a 150,000 bet from Jaber on the 4♥A♠2♥ flop and a 225,000 bet from Jaber on the 9♣ turn.
The 10♦ completed the board and Wang checked a final time — prompting an overbet of 1,500,000 from Jaber.
"Why so much?" Wang inquired as he pondered his decision. No response.
Eventually, Wang tossed his hand into the muck and Jaber said Wang could turn over one of his cards. Wang turned over the 4♠ and Jaber collected the pot.

Louis Luo made it 125,000 to go from the hijack and Kiavash Arbabi shoved the cutoff for 435,000. When it got to Chad Awerbuch in the small blind, he four-bet to 735,000, which got Luo to fold.
Kiavash Arbabi: A♦J♠
Chad Awerbuch: 9♠9♦
Arbabi was flipping and at risk with his overcards. It seemed like he would be heading home after the 5♠3♥7♦ flop kept the nines of Awerbuch ahead. A 2♥ on the turn did add some more outs for Arbabi as he picked up a wheel draw, but he only had one chance to hit.
One chance was all he needed, however, as the 4♣ fell on the river, giving Arbabi a straight and doubling him up.

Ulf Carlberg shoved around 550,000 from the button and Chad Awerbuch jammed in his stack of 2,000,000 from the small blind.
Ulf Carlberg: 8♠8♣
Chad Awerbuch: A♠Q♥
Carlberg was in a fair fight for his tournament life and had survived multiple all-ins today to keep himself alive. It looked as if he would survive again as the 10♦3♠6♦ flop kept his Snowmen in the lead. A J♣ on the turn put him one card away from a seven-figure stack, but the Q♦ river was a dagger in the heart for Carlberg, ending his run in 18th.

Jayden Zalac shoved for his last 300,000 on the button and just behind him, Daniel Gan shoved from the small blind for 900,000. David Pham folded in the big blind and a showdown was held.
Jayden Zalac: A♦10♦
Daniel Gan: 8♥8♣
The 8♠3♠4♣ flop all but sealed Zalac's elimination, as we would need to make an unlikely wheel with running cards.
The 9♣ turn left Zalac drawing dead and an irrelevant 2♦ completed the board to send Zalac out in 19th place.

Marc Seymour lost the majority of his chips in a clash against Chad Awerbuch, wherein Awerbuch made a Broadway straight against Seymour's flopped two pair.
On the very next hand, Seymour shoved for his last 17,000 and was called by Louis Luo in middle position and Awerbuch in the small blind.
The flop came A♠10♣6♥ and Awerbuch checked to Luo, who bet and got a quick fold from Awerbuch.
Marc Seymour: 9♣7♣
Louis Luo: 3♦3♥
Seymour was drawing very much live with his overcards and gutshot draw, but the A♥K♦ turn and river kept Luo's baby pair best to eliminate Seymour in 20th place.
