David Chiu Eliminated in 61st Place ($10,571)

(This hand happened before the break.) Joe Pelton raised from the button to 15,500, David Chiu moved all in from the small blind for about 40,000, and Pelton called with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Chiu showed {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and he'd need to improve to survive.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Chiu paired his kicker to take the lead, while Pelton picked up an open-ended straight draw. The turn card was the {2-Hearts}, and the river card was -- the {A-Spades}. Pelton rivered an ace-high straight to win the pot.

David Chiu was eliminated in 61st place, earning $10,571.

Pontus Khosravi Doubles Through Ali Eslami

(This hand happened before the break.) After a flop of {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Pontus Khosravi bet 20,000, Ali Eslami raised to 58,000, Khosravi moved all in for 135,500, and Eslami immediately called with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for two overcards and the nut flush draw. Khosravi showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for an overpair, and it would need to hold up for him to survive.

The last two cards were {5-Clubs}{K-Clubs}, and Khosravi's queens held up to win the pot, increasing his stack to about 215,000. Eslami dropped down to about 40,000.

Noah Boeken Takes a Hit

Shortly before the break, Noah Boeken raises to 16,000, the player in seat 7 moves all in for 43,500, and Boeken calls with {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. His opponent shows {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, and it's a race situation.

The board comes {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts}, and Boeken's opponent wins the pot with two pair, aces and jacks. Boeken drops down to about 134,500 in chips.
