Dominico Rodriguez, who was down to a single 5,000 chip after doubling up Brian Winter, had manage to spin his stack up a bit but now was all in once more for his tournament life. He was up against big stack Ralph Smith and needed to improve to survive.
Dominico Rodriguez: J♠10♦
Ed Smith: A♣3♣
Rodriguez had a lot of outs on the turn 6♠3♦8♦5♦, but the river was the brick 2♠ and he was sent to the rail while Smith added to his stack.

After an open to 16,000 from Sanjay Kochhar, James Hartigan moved all in for 36,000. The action folded back around to Kochhar who made the call to put the PokerStars Ambassador at risk.
James Hartigan: A♣7♣
Sanjay Kochhar: Q♦2♠
Hartigan would need to hold with his ace-high to stay alive, but the flop spelled disaster for him as it came J♥Q♠9♠ to give Kochhar the lead with his queen. The runout of 8♦7♦ failed to save Hartigan and he was sent to the exit while Kochhar added to his stack.

On a heads-up turn that read A♥4♥Q♣3♥, Ralp Smith checked, James Allen Turner bet 55,000 into the pot of around 110,000, and Smith called.
The river fell the 8♥ and Smith immediately flung out a heft bet of 170,000, which produced a fold from Turner.
"Nice catch, felt like kings with the king of hearts," Turner said and shook his head as the substantial pot was slid over to Smith.
