Action was picked up on the river with 85,000 in the middle in a pot between Kelly Slay from middle position and Caleb Larsen from the hijack.
With the board reading K♠J♥4♠2♣9♦, Slay put in a bet of 60,000. Larsen would go deep into the tank for over a minute before he slid a chip forward to call. Slay tabled Q♠10♠ for the rivered straight and she collected a modest pot as the tournament has been reduced to its final 39 players.

Bradley Beetz opened the cutoff to 12,000 and Clay Famiano flatted in the small blind. In the big blind, Bryan Paris three-bet to 43,000. Beetz then put in a four-bet to 112,000. Famiano thought it over for a minute before folding. Paris quickly jammed for 222,000 and Beetz sigh-called.
Bryan Paris: A♣K♣
Bradley Beetz: A♠J♦
Paris was in great shape to double on the K♦7♥2♦ flop. However, the 9♦ fell on the turn to give Beetz a flush draw. In brutal fashion, the dealer peeled the 4♦ on the river to give Beetz the runner-runner flush to eliminate Paris.

Level: 16
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
The remaining 44 players are going on a 15-minute break.
Play resumes in Level 16 with blinds at 3,000/6,000 with an average stack of 312,000.
Bryan Paris opened from under the gun and Damian Brewster called in the hijack.
On the A♥6♣2♠ flop, Paris continued for 17,000 before Brewster raised to 45,000 and Paris called.
Paris check-called another bet for 75,000 on the 9♥ turn.
On the 6♠ river, Brewster unloaded the clip as he jammed for 225,000 effective as the covering stack. Paris would go into a deep tank lasting into the break before he decided to finally let it go.
Brewster was kind enough to show A♦6♦ for a flopped two pair and rivered boat as Paris made a great fold.

Heather Alcorn opened to 13,000 from early position and Matthew Hoffman flatted in middle position. In the small blind, Daniel Seibler three-bet to 35,000. Alcorn then jammed for 95,000, Hoffman flatted once again, and Seibler let it go after some deliberation.
Heather Alcorn: A♥K♦
Matthew Hoffman: 9♠9♥
It was a coinflip scenario until the K♣6♣5♠ flop vaulted Alcorn into the lead. Nothing changed on the 3♥7♣ runout as she secured the full double and some extra.

Lucas Wiggins moved all-in for 35,000 from the hijack before Kelley Slay rejammed for 90,000 from the cutoff. Terakun Karnchanakphan snapped it off from the big blind to put both players at risk.
Lucas Wiggins: 3♠3♦
Kelley Slay: A♠10♠
Terakun Karnchanakphan: A♥A♣
Papa Karn was primed for a double knockout before the K♣J♦2♦ flop gave Slay some hope as he picked up a gutter. Nothing changed on the 7♦ turn until the dealer peeled the Q♥ on the river in a seemingly illegal maneuver which saw Papa Karn's aces get cracked by RunGood ambassador Slay.
