Aido continued for 375,000 on the flop of 9♥8♠9♦ and Borenstein used a time bank before folding.

Matthew Wantman: K♣8♣
Sergio Aido: Q♣J♥
The J♠6♣5♣ flop put Aido in front, although Wantman picked up flush outs. The 10♦ turn changed nothing, however, and the 4♠ completed the board to eliminate Wantman in 12th place for $15,950.
Sami Bechahed raised to 120,000 from under the gun only to see a three-bet of 210,000 come from Anthony Dianaty in the small blind. Bechahed made a fast call and watched as the flop came down 5♣9♠4♦.
Action checked through to see the 4♥ hit the turn.
