All the chips went in the middle before the flop as Aaron Pinson was all in for 70,000 from the cutoff and up against Vittorio Abbate in middle position.
Aaron Pinson: K♥Q♥ 
Vittorio Abbate: A♥K♦
Pinson was dominated and at risk, and the 3♦5♣10♥2♣7♠ board offered no help as he was sent to the rail.
Frank Funaro was also eliminated at this table a few hands later after beginning the day amongst the chip leaders.

Aaron Schaff three-bet to 16,500 in the hijack and Nicholas Barone called in middle position.
The flop came A♥6♥A♣ and Schaff bet 8,500. Barone then raised to 17,000, and Schaff took a few minutes before reraising to 28,500.
Barone also took several minutes, but he eventually gave up his hand and surrendered the pot to Schaff.
With the flop reading J♠6♣2♣ in a single-raised pot, Brandon Lulov bet 4,000 from middle position before Daniel Lazrus check-raised to 13,000 from the big blind, and Lulov called.
Lazrus slowed down with a check on the 8♠ turn as Lulov bet 7,000 and Lazrus called.
On the 9♦ river, Lazrus check-called Lulov's all in wager of 28,000.
Brandon Lulov: K♥J♦
Daniel Lazrus: J♣7♠
Both players flopped top pair, but Lolov had the better kicker and it stayed that way on the river as he got the max to double.
In a preflop all-in, a shorter stack was at risk with 10♥10♣ against the Q♥Q♣ of Andrew Chang.
The superior pocket pair held on the K♠9♦8♣J♠5♣ board and Chang jumped to around 45 big blinds.
Benedetto Bianco flicked in his final 10,000 from the hijack and Thomas Workman looked him up from the big blind.
Benedetto Bianco: K♣9♣
Thomas Workman: 9♠9♥
Bianco was behind but help one overcard as the A♠Q♥8♠ flop offered little help. Nothing changed on the 8♦3♣ runout, and his run was cut short.
Bin Weng raised to 6,000 under the gun, a player on the button moved all in for 72,000, and Weng called.
All-In Player: 9♣9♥
Bin Weng: A♣Q♥
The at-risk player stayed in the lead on a board of 6♦4♥6♣5♠ and was a card away from a double up, but Weng spiked an ace on the A♦ river to win the pot and send his opponent to the rail.
"Ace king into queens, sometimes you gotta take the aggressive line," Pashk Gjini told another player on the way out of the tournament area and a quick look at his former table produced a much bigger stack for Maxwell Young.
In the same area, Nicholas Barone raised to 6,000 and then called the shove by Andrea Salamone for 49,000 total.
Andrea Salamone: A♦J♣
Nicholas Barone: A♠Q♠
The kicker played on the 9♥6♦3♦7♥4♣ runout to send Salamone to the rail.
Joseph Liberta also knocked out a short stack to maintain the stack he held at the end of Day 1c.
Matthew Zambanini jammed for his final 28,500 from the hijack and Daniel Lazrus flatted on the button.
Matthew Zambanini: A♠4♦
Daniel Lazrus: 9♥9♣
Zambanini needed to find an ace to stay alive, but the 8♦6♦2♥10♣7♦ runout offered no help to him, and he was eliminated by Lazrus.
