Ping Liu was all in from the cutoff against Michael Rossitto in the small blind.
Ping Liu: A♦K♣
Michael Rossitto: J♣J♥
Liu couldn't double up a second time as the board ran out 9♣3♦2♥Q♣J♦ to improve Rossitto to a set as Liu was sent out in 11th place for $23,400.
In a three-way pot on a board of 8♠A♠10♣, Sam Laskowitz bet 45,000 and only Jesse Lonis called.
Lonis checked again on the A♣ turn and Laskowitz bet 90,000. Lonis check-jammed for 245,000 and Laskowitz called.
Jesse Lonis: A♦3♦
Sam Laskowitz: A♥K♦
Lonis had trips but was out-kicked before the Q♠ river bricked off to mark his elimination in 12th place.
There was different all in at the outer table as Ping Liu doubled up through Michael Berk to stay alive and to deny Lonis a split pay jump.
Craig Mason raised to 50,000 in middle position and Adrian Mateos three-bet to 110,000 in the hijack. Mason four-bet to 425,000 and Mateos called off with that amount.
Adrian Mateos: A♦A♣
Craig Mason: 9♥9♣
Mateos had the goods, but the flop of 3♠8♥9♠ gave Mason a set to have the GPI 2026 Money Leader in bad shape before the runout of 6♣3♣ confirmed Mateos' elimination on the money bubble.
Sam Laskowitz raised on the button to 55,000 and Joao Simao three-bet to 160,000 in the small blind.
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs then four-bet jammed a stack of 630,000 in the big blind and Laskowitz got out of the way as Simao called with less.
Joao Simao: Q♥Q♣
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: 9♦9♥
Zavorotnijs was far behind and the flop of J♠7♠Q♠ had him drawing thin as Simao improved to a set. The board then finished out 5♦6♣ for Zavorotnijs to be left with crumbs.
Zavorotnijs survived a few more orbits before being eliminated by Sam Laskowitz.
