Arthur Abraamyan opened the action with a raise to 3,300 from middle position. Ryan Rummonds put more chips in the pot when he three-bet to 8,000 from the cutoff.
Abraamyan made the call and sent them to a flop of 7♠J♣A♣ before he checked. Rummonds continued for 5,000, but Abraamyan chose to check-raise to 16,000 in response. Rummonds called.
The 5♥ turn led to a shove from Abraamyan for 32,300. Rummonds asked for a count before he made the call to put Abraamyan at risk.
Arthur Abraamyan: 10♣8♣
Ryan Rummonds: A♠Q♣
Abraamyan did not have a made hand as he was drawing to a flush and a gutshot straight draw to keep his tournament hopes alive, while Rummonds held top pair for the best hand.
The river was a black card, but the wrong suit, as the 4♠ peeled to award Rummonds the pot.
Joe Toney was the first to act and limped to begin the hand. Sok Chean completed his small blind, but Neng Lee wanted to play for more as he opted to raise to 6,600. Toney and Chean both called to keep it three-handed.
All three players checked on the 4♥8♣K♥ flop to welcome the 8♠ turn. Chean checked again out of the small blind, but Lee got busy with a bet of 10,000.
Both Toney and Chean folded to award the pot to Lee.

Norman Yeung began the bidding with an open to 3,500 from under the gun. Shumian Zhang made the call from early position, but Derrick Geliberte wanted to play for the remainder of his stack as he went all-in for 6,700 from the big blind.
Yeung shoved himself to isolate, and Zhang got out of the way with a fold as Yeung and Geliberte went to a showdown with Geliberte at risk.
Derrick Geliberte: J♥10♠
Norman Yeung: A♦K♥
It was a fair fight preflop as the two went to a runout, but the flop was heavily in Yeung's favor when it came 2♣9♠A♠ to give Yeung top pair top kicker.
The Q♠ turn kept Geliberte alive as he could spike a king for a straight, but the 10♦ river was not what he needed, as Geliberte was eliminated.
Neng Lee limped from early position before Ryan Awwad joined with a limp from the small blind. Travis Fujisaka raised the price of admission when he popped it to 7,000 from the big blind. Lee made the call, but Awwad got out of the hand with a fold.
Fujisaka continued for 4,000 on the K♦5♥Q♠ flop, but Lee was going nowhere as he made the call.
The 7♥ turn slowed down Fujisaka as he opted to check. Lee responded with a bet of 7,500.
Fujisaka was done as he folded the hand to award Lee the pot.
George Kim made it 3,000 from early position and was called only by Robert Woodruff from the cutoff.
Kim continued for 1,200 on the 2♦K♣7♠ flop before Woodruff flicked out the call.
The 6♠ turn did not deter Kim, who bet 5,000. Woodruff called.
Kim fired a third barrel on the J♣ river. Woodruff did not think long before he folded to yield the pot to Kim.
