Christian Mazzarelli moved all in for 155,000 under the gun and Aytumen Akyildiz called in the hijack.

Christian Mazzarelli: K♣Q♠ All in
Aytumen Akyildiz: 7♣7♥

Mazzarelli needed to survive the flip to stay alive, but he missed the 10♠5♣5♥8♣8♦ board and was sent to the rail.

At the same time at another table, John Cipriano was all in for his last 80,000 in early position, Dan Wach put in his last 230,000 in the big blind, and Michael Cheng on the button had both players covered and at risk.

John Cipriano: A♦9♣ All in
Dan Wach: A♣Q♥ All in
Michael Cheng: 7♣7♦

Cheng had a chance to score the double knockout, but the A♠3♣K♠ flop gave both Wach and Cipriano top pair. Wach remained in the lead with his queen-kicker, and the rest of the board ran out 4♣2♦ to secure him the pot. Cipriano was sent to the rail, while Wach doubled up off Cheng.

Chris DeQuatro moved all in for 222,000 on the button and Nunzio Russo reshoved in the small blind. "Let's sweat it out," Jonah Liu said as he peeled his cards in the big blind, but he eventually folded to leave DeQuatro and Russo heads-up.

Chris DeQuatro: A♠Q♥ All in
Nunzio Russo: K♠Q♣

DeQuatro had Russo dominated, and the 7♣3♥6♦10♠7♦ board kept him in the lead with his ace-kicker to earn him a double up.

"I had ten-deuce. How mad would they have gotten?" Liu joked after the hand.
