Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Rokas Asipauskas opened to 12,000 in early position, with Gregory Fishberg making the call in the big blind.

Fishberg checked the 8♦2♣6♥ flop, and Asipauskas continued for 15,000. After asking for a look at Asipauskas' remaining stack, Fishberg called and the A♥ turn hit the table.

Another check from Fishberg led to a bet of 32,000 from Asipauskas. Fishberg then check-raised all in, and Asipauskas called off his shorter stack.

Rokas Asipauskas: A♣K♠ All in
Gregory Fishberg: A♦6♦

Fishberg turned two pair, while Asipauskas could not improve on the 4♦ river to end his tournament run.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Joe Serock opened to 9,000 from under the gun, and Damir Zhugralin called in early position. Jamil Wakil came along in the small blind, and the Q♠K♣6♣ flop was fanned out.

All three players declined to bet, with the action repeating on the J♦ turn. As his 30-second clock was winding down on the 8♥ river, Wakil tossed out a 25,000 chip.

Zhugralin answered by sliding forward four of the pink 25,000 chips, producing an instant fold from Wakil.

The flop came J♦7♦Q♥, and all four players checked to the Q♣ on the turn. Nathan then bet out 12,000, which got a call from Moreira, then both Aido and Jensen mucked.

After the 2♣ river, Nathan fired out 30,000, which got a quick fold from Moreira to give the pot to Nathan.

Level 3 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alex Livingston opened to 10,000 in early position, and Alan Keating made the call on his left. Michael Dwyer then three-bet to 45,000 in the cutoff, and Shiina Okamoto moved all in for 214,000 in the big blind.

Livingston folded, while Keating took some time before moving his stack into the middle. Dwyer folded, and the hands were turned up.

Shiina Okamoto: A♦K♠ All in
Alan Keating: 7♥7♦

Okamoto was flipping, but unable to connect on the 10♣9♦6♠9♣J♠ runout. That confirmed Okamoto's exit, seeing the last of her stack shipped to Keating.
