David McGowan raised to from the button and was called by Manato Matsuda from the small blind before Gabi Habash squeezed all in for 1,200,000 from the big blind.

Action was back on McGowan who who came over the top and got isolation after Matsuda folded.

Gabi Habash: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
David McGowan: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Habash was dominated but the {3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop came paired bringing possible chop outs.

Unfortunately for him, the {q-Spades} fell on the turn pairing McGowan's queen and the {2-Diamonds} river ended his tournament.

Eric Ting Yi Tsai raised from under the gun and then called off his stack after Rob Wazwaz three-bet jammed for more from the small blind.

Eric Ting Yi Tsai: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Rob Wazwaz: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop gave Yi Tsai an open-ended straight draw and the {k-Spades} turn paired both players.

Yi Tsai needed an ace, jack or nine to keep his tournament hopes alive but the {8-Clubs} completed the board on the river and ended his tournament.
