Soheil Shamseddin vs. Hansu Chu

Hansu Chu has the button in seat 5, he raises to 60,000, Shamseddin reraises from the small blind to 90,000, and Chu calls. The board comes {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, and on the river, Shamseddin bets 60,000, and Chu folds.

The holecam cards reveal that Soheil Shamseddin held {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} for top pair, while Chu had {Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for queen high.

James Holland Eliminated in 6th Place ($40,991)

After a flop of {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}, James Holland and Varouzhan Gumroyan each put one bet into the pot. The turn card is the {Q-Spades}, and Holland is all in for his last few chips with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} against Gumroyan's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} -- trip queens. Holland needs to catch a king on the river to stay alive, but the last card is the {8-Spades}.

James Holland is eliminated in sixth place, earning $40,991. The next player eliminated will receive $53,412 for fifth place.

On that hand, Varouzhan Gumroyan moves into the lead with 900,000 in chips.
