Harper Sent to the Showers
Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
Terry Harper was just seen vacating his seat at Table 14 with the pot being shipped to Adam Wilbur, who was kind enough to recount the action after the fact.
According to Wilbur, stacks got in preflop after Harper opened, Wilbur three-bet, Harper four-bet jammed, and Wilbur made the call.
Terry Harper: 
Adam Wilbur: 
"I apologized in advance for out-flopping him," said Wilbur thereafter. "And I out-flopped him."

Level 5
: 300/500, 500 ante

Geller checked and Johnston bet 6,000. Potts then called and Geller went into the tank for over a minute before finding a call as well.

"Nice hand, man, said Pineda as the dealer shipped Potts the pot.

Aweida Catches Heat Early
Level 5
: 300/500, 500 ante
Elenna Martinez found herself down to 9,100 and open-jammed under the gun. A player in early position called and then Sammy Aweida re-jammed, forcing the early-position player to relinquish his hand.
Elenna Martinez: 
Sammy Aweida:
Martinez found herself with a shot at a triple but needed to find a five in order to get it. No help came as the board ran out 
to leave Aweida's queens best and earn him the pot and the knockout.
After entering the tournament midway through Level 4, Aweida is already above 100K, confirming with PokerNews that he immediately woke up with two kings to knock out a short stack once he sat down. He then found a full double after getting stacks in on a board reading 
with 
against his opponent's .

Level 5

Mike Kester: 
Daniel Bowden: 
"Very nice hand," said Bowden upon seeing Kester's straight. The turn rendered Bowden's hand drawing dead and the river 
made the hand official with Kester's flopped straight earning him the dub.
