Craig Welko bet 45,000 from the big blind on a board of 3♠4♣Q♣K♣ and Ken Ware moved all in for 150,000 in early position. Welko called and turned over K♠Q♥ for two pair, while Ware had A♣Q♠ for a pair of queens and flush draw.
The 9♥ river was no help to Ware, and he was sent to the rail. Mike Chesney was also eliminated.
Patty Till raised to 18,000 in the hijack, Jasper May three-bet to 40,000 on the button, and Till called. Till then moved all in for 112,000 on the 4♠8♣9♥ flop, and May called.
Patty Till: 10♠8♠ 
Jasper May: A♦4♦
Till was ahead with her pair of eights, and the board ran out 9♣3♠ to improve her to two pair and give her an early double up.
With 393 total entries, the event featured a prize pool of $280,604. The 46 remaining players are already in the money and guaranteed a min-cash of $1,320, while the champion earns $57,054 and the RunGood championship ring.
