Wai Kin Yong raised to 80,000 in early position, Alex Lynskey moved all in for 235,000 in the big blind, and Yong called.
Alex Lynskey: K♣K♥
Wai Kin Yong: 8♣8♥
Lynskey was a big favorite to double up, but Yong spiked a set on the Q♠J♠8♦ flop to take the lead. The rest of the board was 2♣3♣ and Lynskey was eliminated a few spots off the money.
Fedor Holz raised to 60,000 in the hijack and Dominykas Mikolaitis three-bet shoved on the button for 355,000, putting himself at risk. Holz thought for a moment before making the call.
Dominykas Mikolaitis: A♣7♣
Fedor Holz: K♥Q♣
Holz pulled ahead on the K♦9♦4♦ flop, pairing his king. The J♠ turn and 2♣ river offered no help to Mikolaitis and he was sent to the rail.
Kannapong Thanarattrakul raised to 60,000 in the cutoff before Fedor Holz moved all in from the button. Jeremy Ausmus called for 660,000 in the big blind, while Thanarattrakul got out of the way.
Jeremy Ausmus: 9♦9♥
Fedor Holz: K♦J♦
Holz took the lead on the K♥6♥4♠ flop with top pair, while the rest of the board came A♦J♥ to improve Holz to two pair and send Ausmus to the rail.
Mario Mosboeck raised to 60,000 under the gun and Bryn Kenney defended in the big blind.
The flop came J♣3♥5♥ and action went check-check, bringing the 8♣ turn. Kenney led out for 60,000 and Mosboeck called.
The river landed the 2♣ and Kenney led out again, this time for 120,000. Mosboeck thought for a moment before putting in a raise to 625,000.
Kenney took some time to think through his decision before eventually making the call with 10♥8♦. Mosboeck turned over J♥J♠ for a set of jacks to scoop the pot.
Ossi Ketola raised to 60,000 under the gun and [Removed:564] moved all in for 460,000 in the hijack. Daniel Dvoress called for his last 400,000 in the big blind, while Ketola also called to put both opponents at risk.
Daniel Dvoress: A♥A♣
[Removed:564]: A♦Q♣
Ossi Ketola: 10♥10♣
Dvoress had found a pair of aces and was a big favorite to scoop the pot as the board ran out J♠4♦8♥3♦6♥. He earned the triple up, while Ketola took the side pot with his tens to send [Removed:565] to the rail.
Action folded to Alexander Zubov who limped in from the small blind. Michael Moncek then raised to 120,000 in the big blind and Zubov came back with a reraise to 350,000. Moncek quickly slid forward his entire stack and Zubov snap-called for 1,405,000 to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
Alexander Zubov: Q♣Q♦
Michael Moncek: K♦3♥
Moncek had been caught making a big move as he had most of his chips at risk against Zubov's queens. The 9♦7♠2♣J♠7♥ board provided Moncek no help as Zubov earned the massive double up, leaving Moncek with just one big blind.
Moncek was all in the next hand with Q♦9♣ and up against Stephen Song's 8♥8♣. Moncek hit two pair on a board of Q♣9♠7♣5♣, but Song spiked the 8♠ on the river to make a set and send Moncek to the rail.
Heads up on a flop of J♠5♥4♥, Dominykas Mikolaitis bet 40,000 from the button and Mario Mosboeck raised to 125,000 in the big blind. Mikolaitis called and the 9♥ fell on the turn.
Mosboeck slowed down and checked, and Mikolaitis then moved all in. Mosboeck snap-called for his last 295,000 with K♥Q♥ for a flush, and Mikolaitis was already drawing dead holding K♠J♦.
Adrian Mateos moved all in for 115,000 in middle position and Tom Fuchs called on the button. Seth Davies then reraised to 360,000 in the small blind and Fuchs got out of the way.
Adrian Mateos: A♥9♣
Seth Davies: A♣Q♣
The 8♦2♣2♦ flop opened the possibility of a chop, but Davies hit two pair on the Q♦ turn to leave Mateos drawing dead. The river was the 3♦ and Mateos was eliminated.
Jason Koon raised to 55,000 in early position and [Removed:607] called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 8♠7♥6♦ flop. [Removed:608] then led out for 60,000 on the 4♦ turn and Koon called.
The 5♣ river put a straight on board as [Removed:608] fired out 315,000. Koon, leaning over the table with his hand resting atop his cap, burned a time bank before emerging with a raise to 900,000.
[Removed:608] quickly called with 9♣3♣ for a nine-high straight, while Koon was only playing the board holding K♦8♦ as he handed over the big pot.
