Robert Acton was all in preflop for his last 115,000 with 
and called by the 
of Micah Raskin. It was off to the races as the flop came down 
. Acton took the lead and stayed there as the 
came on the turn and the 
on the river.
Acton doubled to around 170,000 while Raskin took a small hit to his big stack.
Another Team PokerStars member, George Lind, raised to 23,000 from the cutoff. He represents Team Online. Mike Leah was on the button and reraised to 57,000. Action folded back over to Lind and he moved all in. Leah asked for an exact count and after he was informed the all-in shove was worth 351,000 in chips, made the call.
Lind: 
Leah: 
The board ran out 
and Lind was able to find the ace on the river he needed to double up. He doubled to 724,000 while Leah was knocked back to 505,000.
Robert Acton's all-in shove was called by Team PokerStars Pro Anh Van Nguyen. Acton held the 
and Nguyen the 
.
The board ran out 
and Nguyen won the pot. He moved to 960,000 in chips while Acton was eliminated on the hand.
After action folded to Joe Tehan on the button, he raised to 23,000 and Blake Kelso moved all in from the small blind for 282,000 more. The big blind folded and action was back on Tehan. He thought about it for a bit and finally made the call:
Kelso:
Tehan: 
Kelso was in bad shape and needed to catch an ace. He couldn't do it on the flop when it fell 
. The dealer burned and turned the , another miss. It was down to the river for Kelso, who missed when the appeared. Kelso was eliminated from the tournament while Tehan is up to 900,000!
Romik Vartzar moved all in with 
and was called by Aaron Lerner's 
. The board ran out an uneventful 
and Vartzar was eliminated from the tournament. Lerner is up to 310,000.
George Lind got his last 153,000 chips into the middle preflop with 
, and he was flipping for his tournament life against the 
of Robert Acton. Lind was rooting for Acton's hand to win, but the dealer wasn't letting him off that easily. The board came , doubling Lind back over 300,000.
Tom Lee raised to 25,000 from early position, and Niko Deininger made the call a few seats over. When the action came around to Thomas Young, he squeezed all in for 253,000. Cue the Tom Lee show.
Standing up from his chair, Lee began looking off into space as he considered the decision. He already had the calling chips cut out in front of his stack, and he started chatting. "What's your online name," he said in his broken English. "What's your screen name? What site you play on?" Young remained motionless. "What, you wanna go home?" Lee continued. "You want me to send you home?" After another minute of needling, Lee eventually passed, and the decision was back on Deininger.
"My turn," he said, sitting back down from the perch he'd established on top of his chair. Now it was he who was talking through things. "I mean... you did this before. This is not the first time." It was another couple minutes before he finally talked himself into the call. It was the wrong one:
Deininger: 
Young: 
Lee claimed he'd folded the other two sevens, but the dealer wouldn't let him reach into the muck to prove it. In any event, the board ran out clean, coming 
, and Young has found his double. He's up around 550,000 now, leaving Deininger with just a few thousand chips. He was eliminated just a moment later.
Mark Ader opened the pot to 26,000 from middle position, and Joe Tehan three-bet to 59,000 from the button. In the big blind, Jason Mercier took his time to consider before announcing an all-in four-bet. Ader paused for just five seconds before passing, and Tehan's cards chased them right into the muck to let Mercier take it down.
He won a small pot on the next hand as well, and Mercier is up over the 500,000-chip mark now.
There was already about 100,000 in the pot when we saw chips flying around on a 
flop. Jimmie Guinther proceeded to get himself all in for another 461,000, and Sowers looked him up with a stack of about twice that. It was a cooler:
Guinther: 
Sowers: 
Both men had flopped their sets, and Sowers was drawing dead to the case three. The turn was not a three, and neither was the river, and that big pot goes to Guinther. He's all the way up to about 1.05 million now, while Sowers falls back to 420,000.
