From under the gun, Corey Burbick raised to 20,000. Action then folded a few spots over to Sam Greenwood in middle position and he three-bet to 55,000. On the button was Chris Klodnicki and he moved all in for 137,000. The blinds and Burbick all folded back to Greenwood. That's when he made the quick call to put Klodnicki's tournament life at stake. Klodnicki turned over the 
and was flipping with the best of it against Greenwood's 
.
The flop came down

Alax Casals came into the day with the short stack of 100,000, and he managed to double that up once before this coin flip unfolded. Roberto Rivera was the preflop raiser, and Warren Strong flatted the 25,000 in position. From the small blind, [Removed:273] moved all in for 223,000, and Strong quickly folded. Rivera made the call, though, and it was he and his 205,000 chips that were at risk.
Showdown
Rivera:
Casals: 
The flop was a lovely 
to essentially change nothing, though it did add one extra out to Rivera's chances. The turn was his money card, and the big full house left Casals drawing dead. Just for the rub, the 
came on fifth street, but it was too little, too late for Casals.
After that big pot, Casals has been reduced back to just 18,000 — once again the shortest stack in the room.
Under the gun, Kyle Julius came in with a raise to 21,000, and Rodrigo Abellán Vivancos moved his short stack all in right next door. The table folded back to Julius, and he made the call with . Vivancos rolled over his superior , and he was three cards from a double.
But the dealer had other ideas. The dropped right in the window, and the 
was a disaster of a flop. Rodrigo was dead to the case jack, and the turn and river 
marked the end of his run in this PCA Main Event.
Julius has moved up even further, and he's got about 1.3 million chips after that KO.

And the knockout he would get. The board rolled out 
, and that's the end of the road for Galen Hall. He certainly knows his way around this building by now, but this time around, he'll have to settle for a consolation prize of $32,500.
