Richard Spears raised to 1,600 from early position before Dustin Cavanaugh chose to raise to 8,500 from the cutoff. Spears responded by pushing all-in. Cavanaugh went into the tank as he faced an all-in decision for his tournament life. After a moment of thinking, he called to put himself at risk for 31,000.
Dustin Cavanaugh: A♠J♣
Richard Spears: 10♦10♣
The 5♥8♥6♠ flop did not help Cavanaugh. The 10♥ sealed the deal as the meaningless 5♠ hit the river to award the pot to Spears as Cavanaugh was eliminated.

The hand began when Daniel Lowery opened to 2,100 from under the gun. This led to calls from Elisa Nakagawa on the button and Paul Vang in the small blind. Joseph Ricardo wanted to play for more and re-raised it to 8,500. Lowery and Vang both called, while Nakagawa folded.
Vang checked the 3♠4♠8♥ flop before Ricardo bet 6,400. Lowery called, and Vang opted out with a fold.
The 2♠ turn did not slow down Ricardo, who bet 17,000 and was called by Lowery.
Ricardo kept up the aggression on the K♠ river, this time betting 37,500. Lowery gave it some thought, but eventually decided on a fold to award the pot to Ricardo.

Joshua Steinberg got the hand started with a raise to 1,600 from early position. Marco Galindo raised to 5,000 from the hijack before Stanislav Kriventsov jammed for 4,500 to be at risk. Steinberg folded and sent Galindo and Kriventsov to a showdown.
Stanislav Kriventsov: 10♠10♥
Marco Galindo: A♦Q♣
Kriventsov needed to dodge high cards to avoid trouble against Galindo. The 2♠6♦K♣ did bring paint, but it was not the queen Galidno needed to improve.
The 2♣ turn changed nothing, and the K♠ river completed the board to award Kriventsov the pot.

The hand began when Jackson Spencer raised to 1,500 from middle position before Dustin Cavanaugh opted to raise to 3,000 from the big blind. Spencer wasted little time before he ripped his stack in for 29,400 total. Cavanaugh lamented his situation before he chose ot call to put Spencer at risk.

Dustin Cavanaugh: 9♦8♦
Spencer had a healthy lead preflop, but the flop did bring a sweat for Spencer as it came 9♠5♥3♠ to give Cavanaugh a pair of nines.
The 6♦ turn increased Cavanaugh's outs as it gave him a straight draw, but the 4♥ river was a safe card for Spencer as he secured the double.
