With 34 players left and 33 set to make the money, play is now hand-for-hand on Day 1d of the RGPS Passport Season Finale $600 The Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship.
Eduardo Miranda opened to 13,000 from early position before Jeff Platt chose to go all-in for 73,000. Miranda asked for a count and gave it some thought before he made the call to put Platt at risk.
Jeff Platt: A♠K♦
Eduardo Miranda: 9♣9♥
Platt needed to improve as Miranda had the slight edge preflop with his pocket nines.
The flop gave Platt plenty of outs when it came 3♠J♠4♠ to give him a flush draw.
The 6♥ turn was of no use to Platt as Miranda was one card away from securing the pot.
Platt was unable to find his outs on the 6♣ river as Platt would bust deep into Day 1d.
Aleksandry Kreshchuk opened to 12,000 from the cutoff before Aaron Overton opted to three-bet to 36,000 from the big blind. Kreshchuk went all-in for approximately 78,000 total. Overton made the call as they went to a showdown with Kreshchuk at risk.
Aleksandry Kreshchuk: A♣K♥
Aaron Overton: K♠K♦
Kreshchuk had the best drawing hand in the game, but Overton had the second-best starting hand as Kreshchuk was hunting for an ace as they went to a runout.
Kreshchuk added outs when the flop came J♥7♦10♣ as he gained a gutshot straight draw.
The 10♦ turn kept Overton with a healthy lead with just one card to go.
Kreshchuk would whiff on the J♦ river as Overton's kings held to score the knockout as players get down the stretch on Day 1d.

James Hurley open-jammed for 74,000 from the hijack and was called by Eduardo Miranda out of the big blind to put Hurley at risk for it all.
James Hurley: A♥10♣
Eduardo Miranda: A♠K♥
Miranda had Hurley in a world of hurt before the runout as he held the better ace.
The flop did not alter the standings when it came 5♥9♦5♦ to keep Miranda in the lead, but Hurley gained some hope with the opportunity to chop should the board pair the nine.
The 4♦ turn kept Miranda in the lead outright, but Hurley added some chop outs to his repertoire.
Miranda would gain the check mark when the 8♦ came on the river to eliminate Hurley from Day 1d.
This hand was picked up on the flop of 4♠8♥3♣J♠ with approximately 33,000 in the middle.
Konrad Kuciej chose to bet 17,000 from the big blind. Bohao Zhu folded from middle position, but Matthew Patterson made the call from the hijack.
The 2♥ river came down before Kuciej opted to bet 35,000. Patterson swiftly made the call to go to a showdown.
Kuciej showed J♣7♠ for a pair of jacks. Patterson had better as he revealed A♦J♦ for a better kicker to take down the pot.
