Mark Castaldo moved all in for 70,000 in the small blind and Neal Liptak called under the gun.
Mark Castaldo: K♣Q♥ 
Neal Liptak: A♣10♣
Both players hit a pair on the A♦Q♦3♥ flop, but Liptak remained in the lead with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 9♦J♦, and Castaldo was sent to the rail.
Anthony Luong raised to 12,000 in the hijack and Maclaren Chatham called in the small blind. AJ Johnson then three-bet to 45,000 in the big blind, and Luong moved all in for 165,000. Chatham folded, while Johnson snap-called.
Anthony Luong: A♠K♥
AJ Johnson: A♦Q♥
"I don't think it's going to hold up," Chatham told Luong going to the flop, which came A♣9♠3♣. Luong remained in the lead with his king-kicker, and the board ran out 4♣9♥ to earn him a double up.
With around 60,000 in the pot on a board of 3♥J♥K♦10♥, Michael Stroman moved all in for 70,000 on the button and Elvin Simpson called in the cutoff.
Simpson showed 3♣3♠ for a set, but Stroman had turned the nut straight with A♠Q♥. Simpson needed to fill up on the river, but he missed the 9♣ and handed over the double up.
Matthew Riebel moved all in for 55,000 from under the gun and Mark Wahba called on the button.
Matthew Riebel: 7♣7♠
Mark Wahba: 8♣8♠
Riebel found himself dominated and at risk, and he received no help on the A♣10♥6♥K♠5♥ board as he was sent to the rail. According to Riebel, he had run nines into Wahba's tens a few hands earlier to lose most of his chips.
At the same table, AJ Johnson has moved up past 600,000, while Justin Arnwine is also flirting with a half-million stack.
Level: 14
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
Cecil Toler bet 25,000 from under the gun on a flop of 2♣4♣A♥ and John Major called in the hijack.
The turn was the 8♣ and Toler moved all in for 65,000. Major snap-called with A♣K♦ for top pair, while Toler had A♠10♦. The river was the K♥, and Major improved to two pair to secure the pot and send Toler to the rail.
Z Stein also busted at this table a few hands earlier.
With around 80,000 in the pot on a board of 5♦2♣3♠10♥, Anthony Ibrahim bet 50,000 from the big blind and Michael Stroman called in early position.
The river was the Q♣ and Ibrahim moved all in. Stroman had around 120,000 behind and tanked for a few minutes before folding.
Fred Jafarzadeh moved all in from early position and George Karmires called in the big blind.
Fred Jafarzadeh: A♥J♥
George Karmires: J♦J♠
Jafarzadeh was looking for an ace against Karmires' jacks, but he missed the 8♥5♠3♣7♣9♣ board as Karmires secured the pot. The stacks were counted down, and Karmires had Jafarzadeh barely covered for 91,000 to earn the knockout.
Brandon Padula raised to 10,000 under the gun and was called by Michael Stroman in middle position, Mark Wahba in the hijack, George Karmires on the button, and Lisa Karl in the small blind.
All five players checked the 4♣5♦9♣ flop. Padula then bet 20,000 on the 10♣ turn, and only Karl called.
The river was the Q♠ and Padula bet 72,000, leaving only one chip behind. Karl called, and Padula showed A♣7♣ for the nut flush to win the pot.
