A player from under the gun opened before Eli McCargar shipped his final 9,500 from early position and was called to be at risk.
Eli McCargar: 6♠6♦
Opponent: A♣5♣
The flop was all McCargar, as it came 7♥7♦6♣ to improve him to a full house.
McCargar clinched the victory when the 10♦ peeled on the turn, making the 2♦ river procedural as he secured the double-up to stay alive in the tournament.
There were approximately 25,000 on a board that read J♠10♥9♣6♠. Brett Murray checked from early position before Romeo Velasquez checked back.
The 6♥ river led to a check from Murray. Velasquez put out a bet of 5,000, and Murray called to go to a showdown.
Velasquez showed Q♦J♣ for a pair of jacks, which was enough, as Murray mucked his hand in response.

Miralem Mukjic began the bidding with an open to 2,7000 from under-the-gun. Ricky Flora called out of the small blind and the big blind also joined the party to create a three-handed pot.
The K♥J♠J♥ flop was checked by both blinds. Mukjic continued for 2,500. Only Flora called.
Flora checked again on the Q♣ turn. Mukjic bet again for 6,000. Flora was not done and made the call.
Both players knuckled the K♠ river. Flora showed A♥Q♥ for a pair of queens, but it was not enough as Mukjic showed that the queen was a bigger improvement for him when he tabled 10♥9♥ for a straight.
Brandy Savage got it started with an open to 2,600 from early position. A player in the cutoff opted to go all-in for 11,400 before Ravi Udayakamal called out of the small blind. Savage got out of the way with a fold.
Opponent: A♣10♥
Ravi Udayakamal: A♠K♦
Udayakamal had his opponent dominated, and the flop only further cemented his lead when it came 3♦3♥K♣ to keep Udayakamal well ahead.
The 7♥ turn sealed the deal, as his opponent had no recourse to win the hand.
The 4♣ river completed the board as Udayakamal eliminated his opponent.
Level: 8
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
A raise and two calls preflop created a pot of 7,800 before the flop came 10♦A♥8♠.
Deyvi Pineda checked out of the small blind before a player in middle position fired 2,700. The hijack made the call, but Pineda had other plans. Pineda opted to check-raise to 8,500 in response. This folded out the player in middle position, but the hijack was not done with the hand, as they opted to go all-in for 26,100. Pineda asked for a count before he made the call, putting his opponent at risk.
Opponent: J♣9♠
Deyvi Pineda: A♠J♦
Pineda had his opponent in rough shape as his flopped pair of aces was well in the lead.
The 4♣ turn was a blank as Pineda got one step closer to scoring the knockout.
The 10♠ river secured the pot for Pineda, who dragged in the chips.
The hand began with a limp from the player under the gun. The next seat over limped before Sanjeev Sisodiya made it 4,000 from the cutoff. The big blind decided to jam in response to all the action in front of them for 25,100 total. The under-the-gun player folded, but the early position player put themselves at risk for less. Sisodiya surveyed the situation before he also made the call to put both players at risk.
Early Position: A♣Q♣
Big Blind: 9♥9♦
Sanjeev Sisodiya: A♥K♠
The big blind had the best hand, but they needed to fade overcards to stay in contention.
The 5♦8♠3♠ flop was safe for the big blind, as their pocket nines stayed in the lead.
Sisodiya would see a welcome sight on the A♠ turn as he hit his pair of aces to take the lead and held the only spade in the hand for a flush draw.
The 10♠ river upgraded Sisodiya to a flush and knocked out two opponents in the process.
