Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Cards were on their back preflop after Dan Heimiller jammed for 62,800 before Michael Liang called.

Dan Heimiller: A♠Q♦ All in
Michael Liang: A♦K♥

Heimiller's tournament hopes stayed alive when he spiked top pair on a flop of 4♣Q♥4♦ giving him the lead. Liang failed to overtake Heimiller on the turn 8♣ and river 2♠ leaving him with only 5,600 after the loss.

Liang's day ended shortly after as he was seen leaving the table after being felted.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Faraz Jaka opened to 2,000 on the button and Adam Nudo three-bet to 7,000 in the big blind.

Jaka took some time before betting enough to put his opponent all in and Nudo called.

Adam Nudo: A♥Q♣ All in
Faraz Jaka: 6♣6♦

Nudo was flipping for his tournament life but was unable to connect on the J♦2♣8♠K♠3♠ runout. Jaka raked in another pot as Nudo was sent to the rail.

David Gonzalez and Bill Fagerbakke were also eliminated on nearby tables and have jumped into the $1,000 6-max event taking place in the ballroom.
