John Pannucci raised to 12,000 from late position and Ketan Pandya three-bet to 36,000 in the hijack. Action folded back around to Pannucci who four-bet to 88,000 and Pandya five-bet to 175,000. Pannucci moved all in for 411,000 total and Pandya called to put him at risk.
John Pannucci: A♥A♣ 
Ketan Pandya: A♠K♣
The board ran out Q♥5♥4♣A♦K♦ and the set of aces was good for the pot to overtake the chip lead.
Hand for hand play has now commenced as the tournament is on the stone bubble.
John Pannucci opened to 12,000 under the gun, and received calls from Ketan Pandya in middle position, Tyler Hirschfeld in the small blind and Robert Lofaso in the big.
The Q♥5♠6♠ flop checked through to the Q♦ turn, and both blinds checked again. Pannucci took down the pot with a delayed continuation-bet of 22,000.
Jason Min raised to 12,000 on the button and Alex Rocha moved all in from the big blind for 36,000 to see Min call.
Alex Rocha: A♠8♠
Jason Min: A♥J♣
The board ran out Q♠Q♦6♦7♥2♣ and the jack-kicker played for Min to take down the pot and eliminate Rocha from the tournament.
Carter McMahon raised to 12,000 from late position and a player in the hijack three-bet to 36,000. McMahon ripped it for 80,000 effective once action folded back to him and the hijack called.
Hijack: J♠J♣
Carter McMahon: A♠5♦
The board ran out A♥9♣4♥Q♥3♥ and the pair of aces was good for McMahon to bring the clock down to 69 players remaining.
Lucas Bernui opened to 12,000 from late position, and Scott Blumstein opted to defend his big blind.
The 4♥9♣6♥ flop saw Blumstein check, and Bernui bet out for 16,000. Blumstein called, and the 3♣ peeled off on the river. Blumstein then check-called another bet of 42,000.
On the 5♦ river, Blumstein opted to lead out for 17,000, and was snapped off by Bernui. His A♠9♠ was good against the A♥K♠ of Blumstein.
Action was picked up on the flop in a three-bet pot between Matthew Iles in the small blind and Aubrey Williams in the hijack.
The flop read 8♠5♦2♣ and Williams called a bet of 20,000 from Iles.
Both players checked the turn K♥ to the river 9♦ where Iles moved all in for 106,000 effective to see Williams snap-call.
Aubrey Williams: 9♥9♣
Matthew Iles: A♦K♣
Williams' rivered set was good for the pot and she ended up doubling up through Iles.
At another table, John Morris was eliminated.
Tony Sinishtaj opened to 12,000 from early position. Daniel Iachan three-bet to 27,000 from the cutoff, and Kharlin Sued called all in for 25,000 on the button. Sinishtaj got out of the way.
Kharlin Sued: A♠K♣
Daniel Iachan: A♣J♠
The 5♥9♥Q♣ flop was relatively inconspicuous, but the 10♠ turn improved Iachan to an open-ender. Unfortunately for Sued, it wouldn't miss, as the brutal 8♣ river confirmed his exit just shy of scoring a payout.
Level: 15
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
The tournament restart has been slightly delayed as a chip discrepancy is dealt with by the tournament floor. Action will resume soon.
