Justo Avalos put in his final 75,000 from early position and was called by Anton Panelo out of middle position to be at risk.
Justo Avalos: A♣3♣
Anton Panelo: A♥K♥
Avalos was in trouble as his hand was dominated by Panelo's better ace.
The 5♣7♦Q♥ flop was of no use to Avalos, as he was still hunting for a three to stay alive in the tournament.
Both players would pair their ace on the A♦ turn, but Panelo was still well in the lead.
The Q♦ was the final card Avalos would see in the tournament.

Daniel Hughes was all-in from middle position before Ryan Tuttle followed with an all-in of his own for 220,000 from the hijack to be at risk against Hughes.
Ryan Tuttle: 9♣9♥
Daniel Hughes: K♣Q♠
Tuttle held the edge preflop, but the flop was precarious for his pocket nines when it came 5♣J♣4♣, giving Hughes the better flush draw plus his overcards.
The 3♦ turn was safe for Tuttle as he needed to fade one more street to stay alive in the tournament.
Tuttle was awarded the pot when the 8♦ peeled.
Hughes was seen leaving the tournament area shortly after as he busted from the tournament.

Antonio Ma opened to 40,000 from the hijack, which was called by Kelly Mayhugh on the button.
The 6♥2♥A♦ flop did not slow Ma down. Ma chose to continue for 60,000. Mayhugh made the call.
Ma put out a big bet of 225,000 on the 5♣ turn. Mayhugh shoved for approximately 240,000, and Ma quickly made the call to put Mayhugh at risk.
Kelly Mayhugh: A♠J♣
Antonio Ma: A♣2♣
Mayhugh had the pair of aces, but he was in trouble nonetheless because Ma flopped two pair to take a commanding lead.
Mayhugh was unable to find a jack or a counterfeit out on the 9♠ river to be eliminated from the tournament.

Jeff Hoffman opened to 40,000 from under the gun before Rifki Yazid called on the button. David Carey opted to three-bet to 140,000 from the big blind.
That was not enough for Hoffman, who chose to four-bet all-in for approximately 560,000. Yazid got out of the way with a fold before Carey went into the tank.
Carey asked for a count and took an inventory of his own stack, but he thought better of it as he chose to fold to award the pot to Hoffman preflop.

Eric Estrellado shoved for approximately 240,000 on the button and was called by Noah Curhan in the big blind to be at risk.
Eric Estrellado: 9♥9♠
Noah Curhan: Q♣Q♠
Estrellado ran into it as Curhan had the best hand with his pocket queens.
The flop was of no help to Estrellado when it came 8♣6♦2♦, keeping Curhan well ahead with his queens.
Curhan held on the 8♠ turn and the Q♥ river to eliminate Estrellado from the tournament.
