Ethan Cahn in middle position shoved for 12,500. Small blind John Lytle thought for quite a while before reshoving his 49,000, and big blind TK Miles snap-called all in for 46,500.
Ethan Cahn: K♥J♠
TK Miles: A♦J♦
John Lytle: A♠10♠
No one made paired their hole cards on the Q♣2♥3♥4♦2♣ runout, meaning Miles' ace-high was the winner. Lytle was left with just 2,500, and bust shortly after.

Jonathan Tamayo: 7♦6♦
Jon Neyir: A♥Q♠

Victor Ramdin opened to 5,500 from early position. Michael McNicholas flatted from the cutoff, and Lucio Procopio defended his big blind.
Ramdin threw out a continuation-bet of 6,500 on the A♦5♠7♥ flop, and only McNicholas called. He then slowed down with a check on the 2♦ turn, before snap-calling his opponent's bet of 13,000.
Action went check-check on the 7♣ river, and Ramdin announced "ace," tabling A♣10♣ McNicholas showed A♥10♠ and the two chopped the pot.

David Kinane raised to 5,000 in late position to see Michael Vela move all in from the cutoff for 18,500. Carter McMahon raised on the button to 40,000 and everyone else folded.
Michael Vela: Q♥Q♦
Carter McMahon: J♠J♥
Vela was in good shape to double up, needing to only fade the two remaining jacks in the deck. The board rolled out J♦9♦2♠10♣5♠ and the set of jacks was good for McMahon to take out the WPT champion from the tournament.
"Good game guys," Vela said before turning to McMahon and pointing at his chips. "Use them, will ya?"

Scott Blumstein: A♦8♦
Boris Kravets: A♥6♥
The 10♣9♠8♥ flop furthered Blumstein's lead, but gave his opponent an extra out as any seven would do the job. The A♣ turn then brought in extra chop outs, but the 3♦ river was a safe one, securing Blumstein's double.
