Sharon Zharfati: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Tyler Gibson: {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Colin Imani was all-in for 275,000 with {j-Spades}{10-Spades} on the {2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades} board and was called and covered by Rob Saladin who held {a-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The turn brought them the {k-Spades} for both of them to hit the flush but for Saladin to have the nut flush.

The river completed the board with the {10-Diamonds} as a formality.

Both Zharfati and Imani were told to wait while the tournament staff counted to see how many players were left. Once all the counting was done, it was determined that there were 110 players left and both players were sent away from the tournament area without any money.

The player on the button shoved and Ryan Tamanini quickly made the call in the small blind for David Lu to fold his big blind.

Button: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Ryan Tamanini: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} for both players to hit top pair but for Tamanini to stay ahead.

The turn was the {2-Spades} which now gave the player on the button some extra outs as the five would give him a wheel but the {9-Clubs} on the river sealed the deal as Tamanini added more chips to his stack.
