Greg Raymer jammed from middle position for 35,000. Greg Gilbert also went all-in for 52,000, which folded out the rest of the table and put Raymer at risk for his tournament life.
Greg Raymer: K♠Q♦
Greg Gilbert: K♣K♥
Raymer was in an undesirable position as his hand was dominated by the pocket king of Gilbert.
The flop brought little intrigue as it came 9♦4♠7♦, but the J♣ turn did give Raymer some life as it brought some outs to a straight.
Raymer's hopes of a straight did not materialize when the 8♥ river peeled to eliminate Raymer.

Players are on a 15-minute break. Play will resume at the 3,000/5,000 level.
A player from under the gun got it started with a raise to 11,000. David Bridgett called from the hijack, and Jeffrey Day came along with a call from the button to create a three-handed pot as they took a flop.
The original raiser checked the 8♦9♦A♥ flop before Bridgett chose to go all-in for 34,000. Day made the call, and the original raiser folded.
David Bridgett: K♥8♥
Jeffrey Day: A♦10♦
Day had a firm lead against Bridgett with a better pair, but the J♥ turn gave Bridgett additional outs to a flush.
The 5♥ river was a disaster for Day and a welcome sight for Bridgett as he spiked his runner-runner flush to topple Day's top pair.

An opponent limped from early position before Lee Markholt chose to shove for 18,500 from late position. His opponent called to put Markholt at risk.
Lee Markholt: A♦J♠
Opponent: 8♥7♥
Both players caught a piece on the 5♥A♠7♦ flop, but Markholt caught a bigger piece with a pair of aces.
The 9♦ turn was a scare card for Markholt as it gave his opponent some outs to a straight, but the 4♠ river was safe to awrd Markholt the pot.
