The 2004 WSOP Main Event runner-up David Williams moved all in for 75,000 under the gun and Nick Schulman called next to act. When action reached Anthony Marquez in the big blind, he moved all in for around 215,000 and Schulman thought for a few beats before calling.
Nick Schulman: A♣K♦
Anthony Marquez: Q♥Q♠
David Williams: 3♣3♦
Big Slick did the trick for Schulman as he took the lead on the 6♠10♠K♥ flop. Neither the 7♣ turn nor 10♥ river changed a thing and Schulman scored the double elimination.
Williams became the 76th-place finisher while Marquez, by virtue of starting the hand with more chips, finished in 75th place.
Action folded to Parker Talbot who raised to 20,000 from the hijack only to see Joseph Barrett jam for 130,000 total. The blinds folded and Talbot verified the count before checking the tournament clock and making the call to set up a runout with Barrett at risk.
Joseph Barrett: A♦Q♣
Parker Talbot: Q♠10♠
The flop came 4♣6♠9♥, keeping Barrett firmly in the lead for a double. The J♠ turn gave Talbot open-ended straight and flush draws but after predicting that he'd brick the river, the 3♦ fell, proving Talbot's premonition true and locking up the double for Barrett.
Matthew Wantman opened to 22,000 from under the gun and Kyna England called on the button to get things heads-up.
Wantman continued for 22,000 on the flop of Q♣3♣7♦ and England called. Wantman then checked on the 4♦ turn and England checked back.
Both players checked again on the 4♣ river and Wantman showed A♣K♥ before England revealed the same hand with A♥K♠ for the two to chop the pot.
Action folded to Nick Schulman on the button who came in for a raise to 25,000. David Coleman called from the big blind to see the 2♥Q♠5♠ flop.
Both players opted to check and see the turn come the A♣.
Coleman checked over to Schulman who decided on tossing out a bet of 27,000. Coleman made the call and both players were off to a K♣ river card.
Coleman checked for a third time before watching as Schulman reached into his stack and came back out with a 55,000 chip bet. Coleman seemingly had a decision on his hands as he checked his cards a few times and pondered his action during about a two minute tank.
In the end, though, he'd release his cards and allow Schulman to take the pot down uncontested.
Ping Liu raised to 22,000 on the button and Giuseppe Pantaleo moved all in for 238,000 in the small blind. Matthew Wantman rejammed in the big blind and Liu folded.
Giuseppe Pantaleo: K♣10♣
Matthew Wantman: A♣Q♠
The 7♦3♥2♥4♣3♦ board ran out all low cards and Wantman secured the pot to eliminate Pantaleo.
The remaining 66 players have been sent on a 20-minute break.
