Action folded to Jeffrey Manley in the hijack who raised all in for his stack of 60,000. It then folded to the big blind Brian Duffy who snap called, to put Manley at risk.
Jeffrey Manley: A♦Q♠
Brian Duffy: A♥A♣
Duffy woke up with aces in the big blind, putting Manley on the brink of elimination. But the K♣3♥J♣ flop did give Manley outs with a jack to make Broadway. The J♣ on the turn did bring in the Broadway straight, but he wasnt out of the woods yet, as Duffy picked up a royal flush draw. Unfortunately for Duffy, the river was the 2♠ and Manley was able to crack the pocket aces and secure the double up.

The 44 remaining players have been sent on another 15-minute break.
A player from middle position opened the action with a raise to 9,000, and when it folded to Thomas Scott in the cutoff, he three-bet to 30,000. It folded back the middle position player who made the call.
The flop came Q♠K♥A♠ and once it was checked to Scott, he bet out 25,000. The middle position player then raised all in for his stack of 82,000, which Scott snap called.
Middle Position: A♣3♣
Thomas Scott: Q♥Q♣
Scott's opponent had flopped top pair, but Scott had him crushed with his bottom set. The 3♦ on the turn did give Scott's opponent two outs, but the 4♦ on the river was safe for Scott, eliminating his opponent as he scooped the sizable pot.

Action was picked up in a three way all in, with a player on the button all in for 21,500, Chase Smith all in for 42,500, and Donovan Dean putting both players at risk.
Button: A♣10♠
Chase Smith: 4♠4♣
Donovan Dean: A♥Q♣
Smith was in front with his pocket fours but would need to fade the overs of his opponent. The board did run out clean for Smith once it came 8♥5♠6♥2♠K♦ and his pocket fours were still best, giving him more than a double up, and sending a player to the rail in the process.
