Jason Lizakowski raised it up from the hijack and Mark Hodge stuck in his remaining 75,000 chips from the blinds. Lizakowski called and the cards were face up.
Mark Hodge: A♠Q♣
Jason Lizakowski: A♦3♥
The flop came A♥K♥8♥ and Lizakowski picked up a flush draw despite being dominated. The J♥ on the turn gave him a flush and the K♣ on the river sealed Hodge's fate.
The action folded to Daniel Kennedy in the cutoff who ripped all in for his last 97,000 chips. Justin Heilman called from the small blind and the cards were tabled after all other tables completed their action.
Daniel Kennedy: 2♣2♦
Justin Heilman: K♠K♥
The flop came J♥5♥4♠ and Kennedy was in danger of being eliminated on the money bubble. The 6♠ on the turn gave him a straight draw but the 10♣ on the river was not meant to be.
The remaining 77 players are now guaranteed at least $1,000 for a min-cash.
Leo Pinamonti opened to 35,000 in early position and was called by Ross Fredrickson on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of K♠10♣4♦ and Pinamonti continued with a bet of 35,000. Fredrickson called and the 9♣ landed on the turn.
Pinamonti threw in another bet of 55,000 on the turn and Fredrickson stuck around for the 10♦ on the river. Pinamonti announced all in as the big stack and Fredrickson dumped his cards into the muck, leaving himself on the short stack.

With the recent eliminations of Connor McStay and David Beasley, the tournament is now going hand-for-hand on the stone money bubble.
Angel Matson opened to 30,000 in early position and Norman Kauffman shipped all in for 160,000 on his left. The action folded back to Matson who announced a call.
Norman Kauffman: A♥A♦
Angel Matson: K♥K♦
It was the second time that Matson picked up pocket kings today, and the second time that he ran into pocket aces. He beat them with a king on the river the first time but the board of A♠Q♥3♥8♦J♥ was not going to cut it this time.
Toua Moua raised it up in early position and Cody Krause shipped all in for his last 153,000 on the button. Moua quickly called and the cards were on their backs.
Cody Krause: A♥Q♥
Toua Moua: 10♠10♥
The flop came A♣8♠2♣ and Krause took the lead with a pair of aces. The 3♠ and 9♣ runout was clean and Krause scored a double-up near the money bubble.
Three players went to a flop of 8♥8♣3♣ and Ron James shipped all in for his last 150,000 in the hijack. Adam Wiatrowski just called on the button and Terence Reid was forced to lay his hand down.
Ron James: A♣6♣
Adam Wiatrowski: J♠J♣
James needed to catch a flush or hit his one overcard but the 10♥ and 3♦ runout bricked out, sending him home just shy of the money.
Level: 17
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
