Lu Zhang is firmly in the lead now after knocking out Canadian Griffin Benger moments ago.
She called a flop lead from Benger on a board, then snapped when he shoved the turn.
Benger held and needed a spade or a ten against Zhang's turned two pair. The river wasn't either and as he hit the rail, Zhang got some separation from the log jam at the top of the counts.

Facing a 40,000-chip bet from Eric Afriat with close to 100,000 in the middle on an board, Ari Engel fired back with a check-raise to 95,000.
Afriat called, but when the river was revealed and Engel fired out 115,000, he folded, allowing Engel to push back over 500,000 again and turn things around, coming back from his earlier troubles

The chips are flying around now down to 22 players remaining.
Lu Zhang slipped under one million losing a couple of pots, then busted a short stacked Kevin MacDonald to push above once again.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Karamalikis' unrelenting aggression saw him fall under one million as well, but just served him well moments ago against Trevor Delaney.
Delaney made it 22,000 and Karamalikis bumped it up 25,000 more. Delaney called and they went heads up to a flop.
Delaney checked, Karamalikis made it 42,000 and Delaney check-raised to 100,000 total. Not to be outdone, Karamalikis made another raise, making it 178,000 total and Delaney folded.
Once again, Karamalikis pushed over the one million mark, but he and Zhang still trail chipleader Gary Lucci.
