Italian Andrea Dato put in a raise from the cutoff, for how much we're not sure, but we do know that Brendon Rubie three-bet to 31,000 from the button. The blinds got out of the way, Dato made the call, and the flop came out 
.
Dato check-called a bet of 32,000, and then both players checked the 
turn. When the 
peeled off on the river, Dato slid out 35,000 and his Australian foe tossed his cards to the muck.

The late eliminations of Gavin Smith see just 53 players remaining.
JP Kelly opened to 14,000 from early position and directly behind him, Galen Hall flatted. Action folded around to Jeremy Ausmus in the cutoff seat and everyone else folded for a three-way pot.
The flop came 
and all three players checked.
Kelly checked again the 
turn, prompting a 23,000 bet from Hall. Ausmus called by Kelly got out of the way.
The 
completed the board and Hall fired 38,000 into the middle. Ausmus called and Hall tabled 
for aces and deuces. Ausmus had it beat, however, as he tabled 
for a rivered flush and scooped the pot.
This table has plenty of big names and this is how their chips are currently looking.
Foster Hays raised to 13,500 and picked up two callers, Rocky Rule and Konstantin Puchkov on the button and big blind respectively. When the flop fell 
, Puchkov committed his short stack, Hays moved all in over the top, and Rule called off, creating a sizable side pot between the latter two.
Showdown
Puchkov: 
Rule: 
Hays: 
Rule had flopped top pair while Puchkov held an open-ended straight draw, but they were both behind the pocket rockets of Hays. The 
turn was of no consequences, but the 
river was as it gave Puchkov a straight and the triple; meanwhile, Hays' aces sent Rule to the rail.
After recently doubling through Sebastian Gohr and leaving him short, Ronald Lee has sent Gohr to the rail.
In what would be his last hand of the tournament, action folded around to Gohr on the button, who went all in for his last 59,000. Ronald Lee asked for a count from the big blind and announced, "Call," to put Gohr at risk.
Gohr: 
Lee:
Gohr was in good shape to double, however the 
flop left Lee with a pair of kings and a commanding lead. The 
turn and river changed nothing and Gohr was eliminated.
Lee is up to 290,000 after that one.
Reza Tabatabai opened for 12,000 from middle position and received a call from Gavin Smith in the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way, and it was heads-up action to the 
flop.
Tabatabai was first to act and fired out 14,000, which Smith called fairly quickly. When the turned, Tabatabai kept the pressure on by upping his bet to 27,000. This time Smith, who was enjoying a massage, gently slide his cards to the dealer and gave up on the hand.
