Mark Donly and Leo Saiag limped in from the hijack and small blind. James Lauer checked his big blind.
The 10♥7♣4♠ flop checked thorugh to the 2♥ turn. Saiag led out for 150,000 and only Lauer called. Another 150,000 came from Saiag on the 10♣ river and Lauer called once more.
Saiag tabled 8♣7♦ for tens and sevens, which was good for the pot.
Brandon Mueller put in most of his 555,000 stack from early position before Anton Saich jammed as the bigger stack from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Mueller put in his last few chips.
Brandon Mueller: J♠10♦
Anton Saich: AxKx
Mueller missed the 7♣5♦2♦ flop but made a pair on the J♦ turn before sealing the double-up with a flush after the 6♦ river.
"Say it was suited," Mueller instructed PokerNews as he took in the pot.
Christopher Steinberg raised to 175,000 in the cutoff before William Shaw moved all in for 250,000 in the small blind. "You're ahead," Steinberg told him as he called.
William Shaw: K♣Q♦
Christopher Steinberg: 9♠8♠
Steinberg hit a pair on the A♣8♦6♣ flop to take the lead, and Shaw couldn't catch up on the 4♠ turn or 3♥ river as he was sent to the rail.
Aaron Fischer and Derek Childress were in the blinds and got all their chips in the middle before the flop.
Derek Childress: A♥K♥
Aaron Fischer: J♦J♠
Both players had nearly identical stacks, and Fischer remained in the lead on the 8♦10♠10♥ flop. The turn, though, brought the A♠ to give Childress two pair. The river was the 4♥ and Childress secured the pot.
The stacks were counted down, and Childress had 1,240,000 remaining. Fischer barely had him covered by 200,000 and handed over most of his stack.
Level: 27
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 80,000

Paul Avezzie was all-in and at risk for his tournament life for around 750,000. Anthony Wong was the player gunning for the bust out.
Paul Avezzie: A♦Q♥
Anthony Wong: A♠K♥
Avezzie was crushed, but picked up some chop outs on the 5♠4♣3♥ flop. He then jumped into the lead after pairing up on the Q♣ turn and doubled up after the 10♥ river.
"That was the first time I've been all-in all tournament," Avezzie told his tablemates as he collected the pot.
