The action was missed on the hand, but after some preflop back-and-forth, Bart Bogard and Brian Winter got all the chips in the middle, with Bogard at risk.
Bart Bogard: AxKx
Brian Winter: AxQx
Bogard was in a dominating position with his superior ace, but the runout wound up giving Winter a stright and sent Bogard to the rail in brutal fashion.

After a preflop betting war, Donnie Phan moved all in and was called by Loi Hoang to put him at risk.
Donnie Phan: K♠Q♥
Loi Hoang: A♠K♦
On the flop of 5♠A♦4♠, Hoang shouted with glee as he took the lead, but he did not expect the runout of 3♥2♥ to give both players a straight to chop it up.
The remaining 23 players are now on a quick 10-minute break and will return to battle shortly.

After a preflop betting war, Michael Zuro moved all in and Jason Walker made the call, putting himself at risk.
Michael Zuro: J♠10♠
Jason Walker: A♣Q♦
Walker was ahead with his superior ace-queen, but the flop of 6♣6♦10♣ quickly changed that as the tides turned in Zuro's favor.
The runout of 2♥4♦ failed to provide a lifeline for Walker and he was eliminated from the tournament, but not without heartfelt condolences from players at the table.
