Matthew Frankowski raised to 30,000 from under the gun, and was called by the small blind Michael Hager, and the big blind.
The flop came 5♣10♠4♦ and it checked to Frankowski, who bet 30,000. Hager made the call, and the big blind folded.
After the 2♥ on the turn, both players checked to the J♠ river. Hager then put out a stack of 25,000 chips to put Frankowski all in for his stack of 115,000. After giving it some thought, Frankowski folded to give the pot to Hager.
After the hand Hager asked Frankowski if he wanted to see his hand, and Frankowski declined.
Grant Wang opened to 22,000 from under the gun before Christopher Regan three-bet to 72,000 from early position. Wang moved all in for 130,000 and Regan made the call.
Grant Wang: J♠J♦
Christopher Regan: A♣K♣
A fair fight heading to a full board, the dealer put out K♠K♥4♥J♣7♥ and the table erupted after the jack smacked the felt and Wang sat back down in his seat to drag in the 300,000-chip pot.
Action folded to Matthew Frankowski in middle position, and he raised all in for 43,000. Max Pinnola in the hijack, and Michael Hager in the big blind made the call.
The flop came 5♣7♠10♠ and Hager checked to Pinnola who bet 25,000, and Hager quickly folded leaving the players heads up with Frankowski at risk.
Matthew Frankowski: A♥J♣
Max Pinnola: 5♥5♦
Pinnola flopped a set of fives and Frankowski would need running cards to make a straight to stay in the tournament. But the 2♣ on the turn left him drawing dead, and the K♠ on the river officially eliminated Frankowski, as Pinnola scooped the pot.
Grant Wang opened to 25,000 from the hijack. Azamat Isakov called in the small blind along with Sarah Wasch in the big blind.
Isakov led for 30,000 on a 4♥8♠J♦ flop and Wang called in position.
The turn 10♦ hit the felt and Isakov fired 55,000. Wang called.
Isakov put Wang all in for his last 120,000 chips on the 8♦ river and after a minute in the tank, Wang called. Isakov flipped over J♣5♣ but it was no good. Wang dragged in the pot with A♣J♥.
Action folded to John Mazzarelli who raised all in for 123,000, and Daniel Ciancio then three-bet all in. The big blind In Sun Geoum then sat in the tank debating his decision, and said "Well I have him (Mazzarelli) covered so if I bust I make the money" and put in chips to call.
John Mazzarelli: A♥K♣
In Sun Geoum: Q♦Q♣
Daniel Ciancio: 9♠9♣
With two players at risk, the board ran out 5♣J♦6♣9♥3♣ and Ciancio turned a set of nines to get a double knockout, and burst the money bubble. Geoum was not aware that you must bag to make the money, and despite him being eliminated in 19th place, he went home empty handed.
