Action was picked up with three players all in preflop.
Tom Wheaton: A♦K♦ 
Michael Gagliano: K♠K♣
Jiandong Xu: J♠J♥
The 6♣Q♣A♠ flop fired Wheaton into the lead, and the 9♣8♠ runout changed nothing, as he scooped the main pot, with Gagliano having to settle for the side.
Hamza Azim and Tom Wheaton both got it all in preflop, with the former at risk.
Hamza Azim: K♣Q♣
Tom Wheaton: A♠6♠
The A♣J♠3♠ flop saw Wheaton further his lead, as he picked up top pair alongside the nut flush draw. However, if Azim could've picked a turn card it probably would've been the 10♣ that fell, as he turned the world with Broadway and a Royal draw.
Wheaton still had outs to a flush, but the 7♥ that fell on the river didn't improve him, as Azim lived to fight another day.
On another table, Cherish Andrews couldn't do the same, as her tournament came to an end.
Jeremy Flieder opened to 4,000 on the button. Small blind Brandon Mincher moved all in for 17,000, and Flieder made the call as the big blind got out of the way.
Brandon Mincher: J♣10♥
Jeremy Flieder: A♦10♦
Mincher increased his number of outs by one on the A♣Q♣5♥ flop, but he couldn't make Broadway as the 10♠Q♥ runout sent him home during the last level of the night.
Level: 10
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 2,000
Drew O'Connell opened to 3,500 under the gun. Daniel Monosson called on the button, as did Justin Arnwine and Matthew Zambanini from the small blind and big blind respectively.
Both the flop and turn checked through, leaving the board to read 10♥10♠4♦3♦Q♣. Both blinds checked for a third time, and O'Connell bet 5,000. All three of his opponents folded.
Joe McKeehen opened up the action with a raise to 3,500 from middle position. On his left, Max Young made it 11,000 to go from the cutoff, and McKeehen made the call.
He then check-called a bet of 7,500 on the A♠8♥3♠ flop, before the 9♠ turn checked through.
The river was the Q♣ and McKeehen led out, with 32,000 his sizing. Young thought for a while, before folding K♥K♠ face up.

Matthew Zambanini opened to 3,500 from early position. Drew O'Connell made it 11,000 to go on his left, before Michael Wang shoved his 25,000 on the button. Zambanini folded, but O'Connell called.
Michael Wang: Q♠Q♥
Drew O'Connell: J♠J♣
Wang held on the 5♣2♦K♠4♥3♣ runout to double.
Joe McKeehen opened to 3,500 from middle position, and Hamza Azim flatted from the cutoff. Big blind Noah Rattmer, shortly after doubling with aces against the queens of Brandon Mincher, moved all in for 27,000. McKeehen called, and Azim tank-folded.
Noah Rattmer: A♣K♥
Joe McKeehen: K♠J♠
The 7♦4♥4♦4♣10♥ runout was clean, as Rattmer scored his second double-up in quick succession.
At another table, Edric Nicoli was eliminated.
Action was picked up on a flop of K♦7♣7♦ with 15,000 in the middle. Big blind Joe McKeehen checked over to Daniel Monosson on the button, who checked back.
Action then went check-check on the 5♥ turn, prompting McKeehen to lead out for 13,000 on the 9♠ river. Monosson counted out calling chips, before thinking for a short while. He called, then mucked upon seeing his opponent's K♣2♣
On another table at the same time, Alan Sternberg was eliminated.
