Bobby Zhang flopped a set of tens to send Stephen Cole to the rail and the next eliminations kept on coming.
Manoj Thapa bet the 7♣4♣3♥2♠8♣ river for almost half of his stack and Jyrki Hilakari then moved all-in. Thapa tank-called with the A♠A♥ and was shown the A♣10♣ for the rivered ace-high flush to lave Thapa flabbergasted.
George Giannulidis and Jarred Graham were then knocked out in the same hand by Perry Jeffs to bring the field down to the last 44 players. According to Jeffs, Giannulidis had jammed pocket fives and Graham had ace-queen suited.
Jeffs' J♣J♦ was ahead but fell behind to Graham on the Q♦10♦9♣ flop. The 8♥ turn gave Jeffs the straight and the 10♣ river secured the double elimination.
