The complete action was missed on the hand, but it was relayed that Blake Barousse and Dejuante Alexander got it all in on a flop of Kx8♦5♦.
Barousse tabled 8x5x2x3x for two pair but Alexander had K♦10♦8x4x for a better two pair and a flush draw.
The runout changed nothing and Alexander was awarded the pot with king-eight while Barousse was eliminated in 16th place.
After a preflop betting war, Andrew Ige got it all in against Carl Masters who had him covered...
Andrew Ige: 10♣9♦6♣5♦
Carl Masters: K♣Q♦Q♥4♣
Ige would need to improve to stay alive, and the flop of 10♦2♠K♦ gave him a flush draw, but the runout of A♥2♣ sent him to the rail in 17th place.
On a heads-up flop of 10♠A♠4♥, Carl Masters checked, Dejuante Alexander bet 42,000, and Masters check-raised to 240,000.
Alexander responded by moving all in and Masters quickly called to put himself at risk.
Carl Masters: A♣4♣4♠2♥
Dejuante Alexander: K♣Q♠J♠6♣
Masters was in the lead with his set of fours, but Alexander had a monster hand with his wrap and flush combo draw.
Miraculously, the runout of 6♦3♦ completely bricked and Masters was awarded the double-up.

Vladyslav Shovkovyi opened to 25,000 and was then raised to 95,000 by He Feng in the cutoff, but then Ethan Bennett four-bet to 325,000. Shovkovyi quickly got out of the way and Feng just called, not knowing he still had 16,000 behind.
Feng then bet the last of his chips in the dark and when the flop came out J♦3♦8♠, Bennett made the call to put him at risk.
He Feng: A♥A♦6♦5♦
Ethan Bennett: A♣K♠Q♠10♣
Feng was well ahead with his aces and flush draw, and the turn 7♦ gave him the win as Bennett was left drawing dead. The Q♥ on the river awarded him the pot for a big double while Bennet lost a big chunk.
On a flop of A♥5♥8♠, all of the chips between Roger Franco and Nan Liu got into the middle, with Franco at risk.
