From the cutoff seat, David Baker moved all in for 205,000 after action folded over to him. Taylor von Kriegenbergh reraised all in from the button and knocked out the two blinds from the hand. He held the 
and was up against the 
for Baker.
Von Kriegenbergh went on to flop an ace on the 
flop. From there, the turn was the 
and the river the 
to eliminate Baker.
Von Kriegenbergh is over two million in chips now.
While David Baker was getting eliminated on one table, Jaime Kaplan was all in on another table against David Paredes. Kaplan failed to win the hand meaning he was next to the payout desk, finishing in 16th place for $14,000. The field is now down to 15 players.

Table 8 has been playing a game all day where each player is allowed a one-time "I Want to See" pass, which allows them to see an opponent's hand when requested. It is a good way to gather information, but the players only have one request. That said, they're waiting for the right opportunity.
David Paredes thought the opportunity was right after he folded to Joe Hachem's 80,000 river bet on a 
board. Hachem obliged and showed 
.
Shortly thereafter, Alex Kamberis raised to 38,000 from the hijack only to have Taylor von Kriegenbergh reraised to 85,000 on the button. Kamberis decided to fold while deciding to use his one-time pass. Von Kriegenbergh showed .

From middle position, David Paredes raised to 38,000. Taylor von Kriegenbergh called from the hijack seat and then Romik Vartzar called from the button. Everyone else folded and the flop came down 
.
On the flop, Paredes kept up his aggression with a continuation bet of 81,000. Von Kriegenbergh though for a bit and then flat-called. Vartzar folded and was left with 287,000 in chips while the other two went to the turn.
Fourth street was the and completed a possible diamond draw. Paredes pressed harder on the gas and slid out a bet of 204,000. Von Kriegenbergh thought for a few minutes and then made the call.
The river completed the board with the 
. The board was now paired and Paredes sat with 939,000 chips behind. He took his time with his action before sliding 415,000 chips forward with two hands. Immediately, von Kriegenbergh asked for a count. He then went into the tank for several long minutes. He also asked Paredes how much he had behind, which was 524,000. Eventually, von Kriegenbergh gave it up, but not before asking to see Paredes' hand as the table had agreed to give one player a pass to see his opponent's cards. Paredes obliged and tabled the for a flush. He said that if von Kriegenbergh had shoved, he'd probably have puked all over the table.
Von Kriegenbergh was knocked back to 2.08 million while Paredes stormed to 1.7 million in chips.
Victor Ramdin raised to 36,000 from the hijack only to have Wade Townsend reraise to 91,000 from the big blind. Ramdin made the call and the duo watched the flop fall 
.
Townsend led out with a 45,000 bet and Ramdin announced a raise, which ended up being 106,000 total. Townsend opted to fold, leaving himself 580,000 behind. It has not been the best start for Townsend, who has been slipping in chips as of late.
If you recall, we mentioned Table 8 was allowing each player one opportunity to see their opponent's hole cards. Hachem just decided to use his in a hand against Govert Metaal.
The hand in question began when Metaal raised to 39,000 preflop from the button and Hachem reraised to 113,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Metaal moved all in for 264,000 total. Hachem clearly did not like the push and tanked for a long time.
"If you were me, would you call or fold?" Hachem asked. Metaal and Hachem joked around a bit before Hachem conceded the hand, using his "One-Time" pass in the process. Metaal revealed 
and Hachem seemed pleased, even congratulating himself: "Good fold. I had an ace."
