Action was picked up with Drake Kemper all in for roughly 110,000, and Justin Saliba putting him at risk.
Drake Kemper: K♦K♣
Justin Saliba: Q♦Q♣
It was a cooler, and Kemper was in a great spot to double up. He held his lead on the 2♦J♦7♥ flop, but the Q♥ came in on the turn to put Saliba in front. The river was the 10♠ to give Saliba the pot with his set of queens, and Kemper was eliminated in brutal fashion.

Action was picked up on the flop with Clemen Deng committing all but 500 of his chips, and Chris Hunichen calling to see a flop.
Before the flop Deng said to Hunichen, "You're dead" but after it came A♥4♣K♦ Hunichen said "not anymore" and bet 500 to put Deng all in, which he quickly called.
Clemen Deng: 10♠10♥
Chris Hunichen: A♠4♠
Hunichen out flopped the pocket tens of Deng, and once the board ran out J♦ on the turn and A♦ on the river, Hunichen improved to a full house to take the pot and eliminate Deng.

The 51 remaining players have gone on their first 20-minute break of the day.
Jeremy Becker opened the action with a raise to 4,000, before David "ODB" Baker three-bet to 10,000. Then Brock Wilson on Baker's immediate left, put in a four-bet to 26,000. It folded back to Becker, who elected to five-bet to 54,000.
Baker got out of the way, and Wilson put in a six-bet for the Becker's stack of 160,000, which he called.
Jeremy Becker: A♥Q♣
Brock Wilson: K♠K♥
Becker was crushed after running into the pocket kings of Wilson. The 3♦5♣J♣ flop and 5♥ turn brought no extra help for Becker. But, all he needed was the A♠ that rolled off on the river, which made Wilson jump out of his seat, screaming "NO!".
Becker took in the massive pot as Wilson was left on fumes. Baker joked with Becker, saying "You knew I three-bet you with an ace and still called it off".
