We unfortunately were unable to catch the hand, however, we are being told that Paul Sokoloff had called an all-in push from Jacob Schindler to put him at risk. Sokoloff held the 
and Schindler held the 
. Schindler failed to improve and he was eliminated.
Klein Bach pushed all in for a bit over 100,000 from the cutoff and action folded over to Kevin Elia in the small blind, who pushed all in himself. The big folded and hands were revealed.
Bach:

board paired Conway's seven and Daymon was eliminated.
We picked this one up on the flop at which point there was about 45,000 in the middle, with 
showing in the center. Acting first Niel Mittelman pushed out a bet of 25,000, and after a pause Blair Hinkle called. The turn was the 
, and Mittelman again led with a bet, this time for 50,000.
Hinkle sat quietly for close to a minute, then announced he was raising all in for around 250,000 more. Mittelman quickly called, tabling 
for top set of aces. Hinkle had for two pair, meaning the 
river was no matter.
Blair Hinkle opened to 20,000 from the hijack position and was re-raised by Thomas Conway from the cutoff. It was folded around to Mazin Khoury in the small blind and he went all in for his last 165,000. Action folded back around to Conway, who snap-called to put Khoury at risk.
