Hugo Machado raised to 6,500 from early position, Christophe Panetti called in late position, then Dawid Smolka moved all in from the small blind for 38,000. Dennis Berglin pushed from the big blind, Machado shoved, and Panetti - who had both Smolka and Machado covered - called all in for 51,500.
Dawid Smolka: K♣10♥
Hugo Machado: Q♥Q♣
Christophe Panetti: A♠10♠
Dennis Berglin: 5♥5♣
The board ran out 4♥9♦A♥A♦J♦. Panetti paired his ace on the flop and made trips on the turn. He held to win a huge pot and two bounty tokens.
Berglin wasn't covered and so received some of his chips back. Smolka and Machado were both eliminated from the tournament.

Action was picked up with Joey Weissman all in for around 65,000 from the small blind. Jack Hardcastle made the call from the big blind.
Joey Weissman: 6♦6♥
Jack Hardcastle: A♦K♠
The 10♦Q♠8♥ flop was safe for Weissman's pocket pair. Hardcastle's big slick couldn't find a pair on the 7♣ turn and the 3♥ river and Weissman won a full double.

Joey Weissman opened to 4,000 in the hijack and was called by Jack Hardcastle in the cutoff. Action folded to Vahe Martirosyan in the small blind, who reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 20,000. Only Hardcastle called.
On the 6♥10♦5♠ flop Martirosyan continued with a bet of 14,500 and Hardcastle called.
The 6♠ rolled off on the turn and after about two minutes of thought, Martirosyan put out a bet of 23,500, leading to a swift fold from Hardcastle.
Hardcastle has already secured one bounty, and has split another one with Weissman.
