Aaron Overton put enough chips in to put Grant Maruya all-in from the small blind, and Maruya called off from the big blind to be at risk.
Grant Maruya: J♠7♥
Aaron Overton: K♠7♦
Overton had Maruya's hand dominated, and the board did not help his cause as it came 5♣Q♥7♠3♠5♦ to eliminate Maruya in seventh place.
Maruya earned $15,400 for his finish.
Level: 29
Blinds: 75,000/150,000
Ante: 150,000
Players are on a 15-minute break. Play will resume at the 75,000/150,000 level. Seven players remain in the hunt for an RGPS title.
Vera Dong went all-in for 625,000 from the small blind and was called by Anthony Hugenberg in the big blind to be at risk.
Vera Dong: A♣7♣
Anthony Hugenberg: A♥5♣
Dong stayed ahead on the 4♦9♦A♦7♦8♠ runout to score the double up and stay in contention.
Anthony Hugenberg raised to 240,000 from early position before Xiong Thao went all-in for 1,260,000 on the button. Hugenberg asked for a count before he made the call to put Thao at risk.
Xiong Thao: Q♣Q♠
Anthony Hugenberg: A♦J♦
The flop was a disaster for Thao as it came 5♦A♠6♣ to pull Hugenberg ahead.
The 3♥ turn and the 2♥ river did not alter the standings to eliminate Thao in eighth place.
Thao earned $11,900 for his finish.
The blinds battled when Wo Lin shoved for 620,000 from the small blind and was called by Xiong Thao in the big blind to be at risk.
Wo Lin: 8♦8♥
Xiong Thao: K♦7♥
A king came on the flop, but an eight accompanied it when the flop came 3♥8♣K♥ to give Lin a set and Thao top pair.
The 4♣ turn ended the hand, as the meaningless 7♦ hit the river to award Lin the double up.
Andrew Yurchak shoved for 1,230,000 from middle position. Brett Murray called from the big blind to put Yurchak at risk.
Andrew Yurchak: 9♦9♥
Brett Murray: A♥10♦
Yurchak needed to fade the overcards, and the flop was favorable as it came 2♥5♥4♦.
The 10♠ turn was not what Yurchak wanted to see as Murray pulled ahead with a pair of tens.
The J♣ river was the final card Yurchak would see in the tournament as he was eliminated in ninth place.
Yurchak earned $9,400 for his finish.
Level: 28
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
Andrew Nguyen opened to 200,000 from the hijack before Brett Murray chose to re-raise to 500,000 from the cutoff.
Nguyen took inventory before he shoved. Murray wasted little time making the fold to yield the pot to Nguyen.
