First in from the hijack seat, Joseph Gibbons limped his way in for the minimum. The table folded around to the big blind, and Philippe Plouffe shoved all in for 265,000 total. When it came back to Gibbons, he made the call with his covering stack, and Plouffe was at-risk and in bad shape as the cards were turned up.
Showdown
Gibbons: 
Plouffe: 
The 
flop was a swing and a miss for Plouffe, as was the 
turn. The river 
, however, hit him squarely in the overcard. Plouffe's come-from-behind top pair earns him the double up, marching back to 554,000 while Gibbons drops to 305,000.
From the hijack seat, Philippe Plouffe opened to 35,000, and David Stefanski three-bet to 85,000 from the button. In the big blind, Joseph Gibbons took his stand, four-bet shoving his last ~280,000 at the pot. That folded Plouffe without incident, but Stefanski made the call with his big stack to put Gibbons to the test.
Showdown
Stefanski: 
Gibbons: 
It was a misstep for Gibbons after three days of playing very close to the vest. The dealer would not provide him any salvation, either, running out a board full of blanks. It came 
, and it's the last board Gibbons will get to see today. He's out in 16th place, good for a small pay bump up to $14,000.
Stefanski is up to 1.22 million with that knockout.
Medic!
In a battle of the blinds, Dan Shak open-shoved from the small blind. In the big, Nenad Medic squeezed out the lucky 
and made the call for his last ~250,000. Shak rolled over his , and he was looking to catch a card to get the knockout.
He caught a card. The 
flop was a needle in Medic's spine, and the turn and river failed to keep him from flatlining.
Shak is now up to 1.35 million and into second place.
Vanessa Selbst opened to 38,000 from the hijack, and Ara Melikian three-bet shoved for his last 176,000 from the big blind. Selbst snap-called, and Melikian was in trouble as the cards were turned up. He was working with 
, but the lady's 
had his tournament life in jeopardy.
There was nothing to sweat and no queen for Melikian on the board that ran 
. That's going to be the end of his road, ushered out in 14th place with $14,000 to show for his efforts this week.
Selbst now has more than 21% of the chips in play with 2.47 million towered in front of her.

Thomas Hoglund Jr. opened to 40,000, but was re-raised to 100,000 by Philippe Plouffe. Action folded back to Hoglund Jr. and he called, landing a 
flop.
Both players checked and did the same on the 
turn. The hit the river and Hoglund Jr. checked for a third time. Plouffe bet a tiny 30,000 that was paid off, showing 
to win the pot.
