Phil Hellmuth raised to 21,000 and was reraised by Michael Stroh the button to 73,000. Hellmuth decided to look at both his cards, claiming he had only looked at one, and then made the call.
The action stalled as the board came 
. Hellmuth turned over 
but it wasn't good enough to beat Stroh's 
.
Hellmuth is sitting on 415,000 while Stroh is at 155,000.
Agop Rustemoglu came out the big winner of a three-way all in. It was his 
against Nicholas Heather's 
and Ross Meyers' 
. The 
flop put Agop way out in front and left Heather with once out and Meyers drawing dead. The 
turn put the possibility of a chop out there, but the river sealed Heather and Myers' fates. Agop built his stack to 450,000 with that double elimination.
Spencer Hudson was all in preflop with 
against Jared Michelizzi's . The 
flop meant Hudson had to dodge fives in addition to aces to stay alive. The turn was a safe card, but the on the river was all it took to bust Hudson. Michelizzi now has 640,000 in front of him.
Adam Geyer checked a 
board, and Phil Hellmuth bet 27,000. Geyer called, then checked again after the put a fourth diamond on the river. This time, Hellmuth checked behind. Geyer turned up 
for two pair. Hellmuth flew out of his chair. "What is that!?!" he shouted. "How bad are they?" It's a tough life, Phil.
Hellmuth slipped a bit to 355,000. Geyer's got 350,000.

Danny Wong called the all in bet of Kurt Disessa. Wong was ahead with the 
against Disessa's .
The flop came 
and Disessa began to stand and make his exit. That is when the 
hit on the turn. The river was the and Disessa doubled to 116,000.
Max Steinberg moved all in from the cut off for his last 77,000. William Daymon called from the button and the two flipped over their cards:
Daymon: 
Steinberg: 
The board was kind to Steinberg when it ran out 
, giving him the win and bringing his stack to 170,000. Meanwhile, Daymon dropped to 43,000.
David Aue raised preflop. William Daymon, the big blind, had less than three blinds behind, and moved all in. Aue called the extra chips and turned over . "I wish we had more players," he told Daymon. "At least I've got the kind of hand that can crack 'em," Daymon said, tabling . The flop was the kind of start Daymon would need to do that, and the on the turn gave him extra straight outs. But somehow, the 
on the river didn't get him there, and Daymon shook hands with his table on his way out.
With Daymon's elimination, there are 36 players left. They are breaking one more table now, leaving us with four.
The bust outs came at breakneck pace today. We've lost more than 85% of the players who began Day 2 eight and a half levels ago. But now everyone is getting a little tired and a little tense. With final table day in sight, most players have put on the breaks. We lost one player so far this level after losing 10 the previous level and 25 before that.
