Mariette Language raised to 35,000 with the K♦9♦ and called a small three-bet to 75,000 by Gerrit van der Spoel, who had the A♠A♦.
The 8♠6♦4♣ flop saw Language check and she then folded when van der Spoel bet small for 25,000.

Darren Kramer got it in from behind with A♠9♣ against the A♥J♥ of Imran Bhojani but improved on the 9♦7♥3♣ flop. Both turn and river were blanks and Kramer doubled.
Shortly after, Kramer raised the button to 32,000 and Caleb October three-bet jammed for 137,000 in the big blind to force a fold.
Kade Ollewagen raised from an early position and called the three-bet shove by Max Deveson in the small blind for fewer than eight big blinds.
Max Deveson: K♥K♠
Kade Ollewagen: A♦J♥
The board ran out A♣6♣2♣9♣2♠ and the ace on the flop sealed the fate for Deveson in 27th place.
Imran Bhojani remains the chip leader on the previous feature table but Harold Brooks is the one to chip up lately.
Brooks won a battle of the blinds versus Caleb October when there was no action on the turn and river of a 9♣8♣2♠10♠4♠ board. October tabled the 7♣5♦ and Brooks won the pot with J♦6♣.
Patrice Ah-Nien raised to 36,000 and then faced a three-bet to 111,000 by NT on the button. Both blinds folded and so did Ah-Nien.
NT showed the A♣K♥ and KM in the big blind flashed his 4♣4♥ that had gone in the muck.
Vishal Ghoorbin was all-in with all-in with a short stack on the K♣J♦3♥ flop and tabled the Q♥J♠ once SM called. He was up against A♣8♥ and locked up the double with the J♥ turn, the 3♦ river further improved Ghoorbin to a full house.
Gregory Maistry had chipped up in one other hand and then raised to 32,000. Quintin Heather-Clark called one seat over and Imran Bhojani then three-bet to 132,000. All other players behind folded and Maistry called all-in for 127,000, Heather-Clark folded.
"I gonna try the three outer thing again," Bhojani joked before the cards were revealed.
Gregory Maistry: K♠Q♦
Imran Bhojani: A♠J♣
The K♣6♣2♣ flop improved Maistry but Bhojani retook the lead with the A♥ turn, the 10♥ river then ended the run of Maistry in 28th place. All 27 remaining players will balance across the last three tables and there will be a redraw at 18 left.
On the live stream table, the flop showed 10♦9♦3♦ and SM checked with the K♣10♠, Mariette Language bet 40,000 with A♣J♠ and SM called. The A♠ fell on the turn and SM check-raised from 50,000 to 155,000 for Language to come along.
SM then bet only 125,000 on the 5♦ river and Language tank-called to win the pot, essentially evening out the stacks of the two players.
The feature table switched and Gregory Maistry returned to the outer tables with a severe short stack. He got those last 36,000 in against Darren Kramer.
Gregory Maistry: Q♠J♦
Darren Kramer: Q♦9♦
The kicker played on the J♣5♦4♥K♥A♦ board for Maistry to stay in contention.
KM raised to 34,000 on the button and Desmen Dharmalingam jammed for 114,000 in the small blind. Henk Wiese asked for a count from the big blind and called, KM folded.
Desmen Dharmalingam: A♦Q♠
Henk Wiese: A♠7♦
The K♦8♥8♣9♦Q♥ board kept Dharmalingam in contention as he more than doubled.
