Thomas Fjellheim, David Coleman, and Sam Grafton saw a flop of 6♥Q♣5♥, with Coleman all in and fighting for a main pot of 14,000, while Fjellheim and Grafton had created an additional side pot of 10,000.
Fjellheim checked to Grafton, who bet of 7,500. Fjellheim called and both players checked the A♥ turn. On the Q♥ river, Fjellheim made a small bet of 6,000 and was quickly looked up by Grafton.
Grafton showed down A♣K♦ for two pair, but was bested by the 10♥10♦ of Fjellheim, who had rivered a flush. Coleman's J♠10♠ disappeared in the muck as well, resulting in the end of his first bullet.
On another table, Dimitrios Angelakos was also eliminated.

Action folded around to David Coleman, who raised to 3,500 from the small blind. Sam Grafton called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♠3♦Q♣ and Coleman continued for 2,000. Grafton called and action went to the turn, the 4♥. Coleman bet again for 8,000 and Grafton called.
The river came the 2♦ and Coleman moved nearly all in, leaving a single 500 chip behind. Grafton shoved and Coleman folded to spare his tournament life, at least for the time being. Grafton scooped the huge pot just moments after sitting down.
Jesse Lonis raised to 2,500 in the cutoff and was called by Joris Ruijs on the button. Jules Dickerson then reraised to 16,000 in the big blind, after which Lonis four-bet to 39,500.

Jules Dickerson: K♦K♣
Jesse Lonis: A♥A♣
The board ran out an inconsequential 2♦3♦5♥J♠2♠, sending Dickerson out as the first elimination.
