Nathan had
to Woo's
and Okun's
. After the
flop and the
on the turn it looked like Okun was about to triple up when the
spiked on the river. They had to count down Okun's stack to verify that Nathan had him covered, but when all was said and done Woo and Okun were eliminated and Nathan scooped a huge pot that lifted his stack to around 550,000.
. Fernandez called Baldwin's all-in and turned over K-J against Baldwin's pocket tens. Baldwin failed to improve and was eliminated.
, Vohra checked and Monro bet 65,000. Vohra then min-raised to 130,000 and Monro moved all in. Vohra nearly beat him into the pot and turned over
for the nut flush to Monro's
. The
on the turn sealed Monro's fate and he was eliminated in 15th place. That pot pushed Vohra up to 975,000.
Just then there was just an announcement that there are just a handful of spots open for tomorrow's $10,000 Heads-Up World Championship. Mizrachi laughed and said if he called and lost he'd still have time to play the heads-up tournament tomorrow.
He asked Sprengers again if he'd say what his hand was, and this time Sprengers said, "Yes -- but only after play ends today." Mizrachi mucked his hand and Sprengers collected a sizable pot.

was up against Humberto's
. The
flop put Seiver in the lead and the
that followed didn't help Humberto. He's out in 14th place, and Seiver is now up to 1.39 million.
and Geyer led out for 45,000. Freeman called, and the two players checked it down as the
turned and the
fell on the river. Freeman showed
for top pair, Geyer mucked, and that pot lifted Freeman to 530,000. Geyer now has 730,000.
