After a preflop betting war, Adolfo Dulatre, John Hernandez, and Patsy Karimi got all the chips into the middle, with Dulatre covering.
John Hernandez: A♥A♣
Patsy Karimi: A♠J♣
Adolfo Dulatre: 10♠10♦
Hernandez was in a great spot to triple-up, but the runout was not his friend as it came 7♦J♦9♦Q♣6♦ to give Dulatre a ten-high flush on the river to knock out both of his opponents.

The players in Day 1b of the Main Event are now on their second 15-minute break of the day. Once they return to their seats at the start of Level 9, the registration for this flight will officially be closed. The black 100-chips will also be raced off and colored-up at this time.
After an open to 2,500 and a three-bet to 8,000 by Edward Liu, Scott Stewart moved all in for his last 15,800.
The action folded back to Liu who made the call to put him at risk and the cards were on their backs.
Scott Stewart: 7♣7♠
Edward Liu: A♦K♠
Stewart was ahead going into this flip, but the flop of 6♠7♥3♣ had to be feeling pretty safe as he flopped top set of sevens. The turn 6♦ locked up the hand for him as he improved to a full house and the river was a meaningless 10♣.
His stack at that point was just a little over a starting stack, but unfortunately, a few hands later he got it all against Randy Shamo and ultimately busted.
