On a 
flop, Robert Peltekci got his last 145,000 chips into the middle with 
. It looks like it was probably a stop-and-go move based on his position in the big blind, but whatever it was, it didn't work. Bolivar Palacios looked him up with 
, and Peltekci needed some help.
The turn 
and river 
were no use, though, and that's another player sent to the rail. Taking Peltekci's chips as his own, Palacios climbs his way up to about 1.5 million.
Michael DeGilio was under the gun and raised to 66,000, which cleared the field all the way to Vladimir Geshkenbein in the big blind. He made the call and then checked the 
flop, prompting DeGilio to bet 50,000. Geshkenbein then moved all in for 350,000 total and DeGilio snap-called.
Showdown
Geshkenbein: 
DeGilio: 
It was a flop that hit both players hard, unfortunately Geshkenbein was on the raw end of things. Neither the 
turn nor the 
river changed a things and Geshkenbein was eliminated from the tournament.

Lance Steinberg has become the fourth player at the feature table to have been sent to the rail by Phil Collins, who by all accounts, is on the sickest run in all of WSOP history.
The action folded to Steinberg who raised to 66,000 from middle position before Collins flat-called from the big blind, making it heads-up to the flop of 
. Steinberg led out for 122,000 and Collins called, then Steinberg bet 250,000 on the turn of the .
Collins shoved. Steinberg called all-in. Jaws hit the floor.
Collins: 
Steinberg: 
Steinberg had a glimmer of hope with the gut-shot straight flush draw, but given the run-good that Collins has had today, you didn't think that he was going to double up, did you?
Of course not. The 
bricked out on the river. So long Steinberg, and hello Collins - you've just cracked 10 million chips! BOOM!

Sami Kelopuro only had 215,000 chips left at the last break, the second-shortest stack in the room. He didn't waste any time getting those chips in with 
, and he was behind but drawing live against Guy Gorelik's . "Run it twice," Erick Lindgren suggested with a smirk, hinting at Kelopuro's reputation as an online shark.
The 
flop was a swing and a miss for "LarsLuzak", and he was dead to six outs. Fourth street brought one of them, the 
, and Kelopuro let out a spicy, "Oooh," at the sight of the sweaty turn card. He was ahead now, but he had to fade the aces and the spades to stay alive.
River:
That's all she wrote for the online legend, relegated to the rail with about 110 players left.
