Tanupat Punjarojanakul and Adam Kim went to a flop of 7♠8♠4♣ where Punjarojanakul got in his last 149,000 from the big blind. Kim put him at risk under the gun.
Tanupat Punjarojanakul: J♠10♠ 
Adam Kim: A♣A♠
Kim was ahead with his aces, while Punjarojanakul had straight and flush draws. The turn was the K♣, and Punjarojanakul made his flush on the 2♠ river to win the pot and double up.
Adam Agaev raised to 20,000 under the gun and TJ Laessig called in the cutoff. Najib Bennani then moved all in for 104,000 on the button and Agaev folded, while Laessig called to put him at risk.
Najib Bennani: A♣K♠
TJ Laessig: A♠10♠
"Wow, you woke up with it," tablemate AJ Gillette said to Bennani, who had Laessig dominated and was poised for the double up. The board ran out 6♥2♥3♠8♦J♣, and Laessig handed over the pot.
"Oh oh, look out," Bennani warned his table.
A few minutes ago, Emily Sun leaned back with her chair a little too far and it fell over with a loud bang as players from the next tabled glanced over to what had happened before helping Sun back up and grabbing the chair.
It would turn out to be a bad omen, as she became the next casualty before the dinner break.
Sun three-bet jammed for 80,000 on the button and hijack-raiser Concetta Rinaldi called.
Emily Sun: Q♦J♦
Concetta Rinaldi: 9♥9♣
The flip went to Rinaldi on the A♣6♣4♥4♣6♠ runout and Sun quickly walked out of the tournament area without even waiting for her payout card.
Mitch Garshofsky was the next to bust shortly after just before the dinner break.
TJ Laessig raised to 16,000 in early position before Adam Agaev three-bet to 42,000 on the button. Xiaoqiong Liu called in the small blind, while Maxwell Young then four-bet to 131,000 in the big blind. Only Agaev called.
The flop came 2♥8♠4♦ and Young continued for 71,000. Agaev called, and they both checked the 6♥ turn.
Young then bet 150,000 on the K♥ river, and Agaev folded this time. Young allowed him to choose one of his cards, and Agaev turned over the A♣. "Where's the other one?" tablemate Daniel Lazrus said.
Liu then admitted she folded queens preflop.
At another table, Nicholas Funaro got in his last 90,000 against Eric Yanovsky in a blind-versus-blind battle.
Nicholas Funaro: K♠6♠
Eric Yanovsky: 5♠4♣
The flop came 8♣3♠10♦, while Yanovsky hit a pair on the 4♥ turn to take the lead. The river was the 5♣, and Yanovsky improved to two pair to send Funaro to the rail.
Todd Lewis raised to 18,000 in the hijack before James Tedrow three-bet to 42,000 on the button. Lewis then moved all in for 200,000, and Tedrow snap-called.
Todd Lewis: 9♦9♥
James Tedrow: Q♥Q♣
Lewis found himself dominated by Tedrow's queens, and he received no help on the J♦J♥7♣7♠2♠ board and was sent to the rail.
On the 14th hand of the bubble, Paul Volpe opened from early position before Lewis Esposito jammed for 95,000 from the hijack. On the button, Drew O'Connell rejammed for 143,000, and Volpe folded.
Lewis Esposito: Q♠Q♣
Drew O'Connell: K♠K♦
Esposito was in rough shape with the dominated pair as the A♥4♦3♥ flop offered no help. Nothing changed on the 6♥7♠ runout, leaving O'Connell's kings best as Esposito leaves empty-handed while the remaining 71 players celebrated being in the money.
There are 26 minutes remaining in Level 16 with blinds of 4,000/8,000 and an average stack of 318,000. A dinner break will follow this level.

Daniel Iachan moved all in for 37,000 from the cutoff and Lucas Bernui called in the small blind. "The whole room is rooting against me," Iachan said.
Daniel Iachan: 10♥10♠
Lucas Bernui: 9♥9♣
Iachan had Bernui dominated with his tens, and the board ran out 5♥J♠4♥A♣6♠ to keep him in the lead as Iachan doubled up yet again.
Eric Yanovsky raised to 16,000 in the hijack before Colin Moll three-bet to 40,000 on the button. Yanovsky then moved all in, and Moll snap-called for 344,000. "Zero chance he was bluffing on the bubble. Zero chance," Mike Dentale said to Yanovsky as they waited to turn over their cards.
Colin Moll: A♥A♣
Eric Yanovsky: 4♦4♥
Yanovsky had shoved right into Moll's aces, and the board ran out 2♠Q♠K♣Q♣8♣ to earn Moll the double-up.

Maurice Hawkins: A♠K♠
TJ Laessig: J♠J♦
Hawkins took the lead on the K♦8♦10♥ flop, while the turn was the 9♥. The river, though, brought the 7♥ to give Laessig a straight, and Hawkins was sent to the rail two spots off the money.
