The players are now on a 15-minute break and will return to closed registration for Day 1d of the Main Event. The purple 500-chips will also be raced off and colored-up at this time.
On a four-way flop of 2♥9♦4♦, two players checked to David Lawson who bet 15,500 into the pot of 27,000, but then Jason Hickey moved all in for 42,000. The first two players got out of the way and after some thought, Lawson made the call to put him at risk.
Jason Hickey: K♦8♦
David Lawson: 6♦6♥
Lawson was ahead with his pocket sixes but needed to fade any king, eight, or diamond. Luckily for him, the runout was pure as it came J♣3♥ for his pair to hold and Hickey was eliminated.

After a preflop betting war, James Galloway, Vladyslav Shovkovyi, and another player got all the chips into the middle in a massive pot, with Galloway covering.
Player 1: A♠J♠
Vladyslav Shovkovyi: A♥K♣
James Galloway: 10♥10♣
The flop of J♦8♥A♦ was huge for Player 1 as he made top two-pair, and the turn was a blank 3♠, but the river was dastardly as it came the K♣ to give the win to Shovkovyi with a bigger two-pair.
"WHHHAAAaaahhh!" Jessica Richards provided sound effects as the monster pot was pushed over to Shovkovyi while Player 1 exited and Galloway had a chunk taken from him.

Will Leffingwell opened to 6,000, Jason Fitzpatrick three-bet to 17,000, and then Ryan Van in the small blind moved all in for around 140,000. Leffingwell quickly called for less and Fitzpatrick got out of the way.
Will Leffingwell: K♥K♣
Ryan Van: A♥A♦
Leffingwell needed to spike a king to stay alive, but the flop of A♣6♥9♠ meant he needed to spike two of them. Unfortunately, the 10♦ on the turn left him drawing dead and he exited once the Q♣ completed the board.

On a heads-up flop of Q♠7♠6♥, Sung Keem bet 12,000 and then Jason Bullock moved all in for 31,800.
Keem only paused for a few seconds before he made the call to put Bullock at risk.
Jason Bullock: 4♥4♣
Sung Keem: J♥J♠
Only a four or a running straight could save Bullock, but the runout of Q♥A♦ did not do it and he was sent to the rail while Keem added to his stack.

On a heads-up turn of A♥9♥10♣7♠, Gary Webster bet 20,000 and then Chander Jain moved all in for 44,500. Webster snap-called and tabled A♣A♦ for top set but Jain flipped over 6♠8♠ for a turned straight and the lead.
Webster needed the board to pair to win but the river was the Q♥ and Jain scooped the pot for the double.
