Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In a preflop confrontation, Kristen Foxen was all in from the big blind for roughly 140,000 against Marian Farcas in middle position who covered.
Kristen Foxen: 10♥10♣
Marian Farcas: K♣K♠
Farcas was well ahead with the bigger pocket pair and remained so on the 9♥4♣3♣J♠3♦ runout to take the pot while Foxen became the latest casualty of the Jeff Platt curse.

Michael Rodrigues three-bet jammed for 95,000 in the cutoff and Soenke Jahn sigh-called from an early position for more than half of his remaining stack.
Michael Rodrigues: 6♠6♥
Soenke Jahn: A♠K♠
The 9♠5♦2♥Q♦Q♥ board provided no help to Jahn and Rodrigues vaulted ahead.

Pedro Garagnani had previously three-bet jammed into an open raise to collect the pots, forcing out shorter blinds behind him as well as the initial raiser.
He then opened to 16,000 and Ethan Cook moved all-in for 109,000 in late position. Jeffrey Cormier four-bet jammed in the cutoff and all opponents including Garagnani folded.
Ethan Cook: Q♠J♠
Jeffrey Cormier: A♣Q♦
Cook needed some heat to stay alive and found a flush draw on the 10♠5♣4♠ flop. The 9♣ turn added an open-ended straight draw to go with it and the 2♠ river completed the flush for the double.

With two players seeing a board of 9♣10♦2♥A♠ and roughly 85,000 in the middle, Faraz Jaka checked from the big blind and called a 40,000 bet from Weiran Pu in early position.
Jaka checked again on the 3♣ river and Pu moved all in for 215,000, slightly covering his opponent. Jaka made the fold and Pu took down a sizable pot without showdown.

Only around 130 players remain and several notables were among the recent casualties. That included two former WSOP Main Event champions in Koray Aldemir and Ryan Riess, with 2021 WSOP Player of the Year Josh Arieh also out of chips as well.

: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mathijs Jonkers had stuck around with a shorter stack for an extended period and ultimately got the last of it in with the A♦4♦. That was crushed by Jason Sagle, who had the far superior suited ace holding the A♣K♣.
The board ran out K♥8♣3♥5♥K♦ and that spelled the end for the Dutchman, a former WSOP Europe Main Event finalist.
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Goran Mandic moved all in from the cutoff for 210,000, an open-shove worth just over 26 big blinds.
"I don't want action" Mandic commented as Chris Hunichen contemplated his decision on the button.
"You just have fours?" Hunichen inquired, receiving no reply from Mandic. After roughly one minute Hunichen put in the call with a covering stack to put Mandic at risk.
Goran Mandic: A♥Q♠
Chris Hunichen: A♦K♠
Hunichen had Mandic pipped and remained ahead on the 7♦5♥6♠6♣J♦ runout to send Mandic to the rail late in the day and drag in a massive pot.

Anthony Zinno opened to 20,000 and Francis Poirier then pushed all-in for 161,000. David Ganim flat-called one seat over in the cutoff and it folded back to Zinno, who quickly folded.
Francis Poirier: Q♥Q♠
David Ganim: A♠A♦
The Q♦9♣3♥4♣8♦ runout gave Poirier a set and he escaped from elimination.
"I was very close," Maria Ho said after the hand was over, as she had pondered about her decision for half a minute right next to Ganim.
