With Chris Hunichen on the button and Gordon Vayo in the small blind, it appeared a raising war broke out between the two that resulted in the former being all in for around 46,000.
Showdown
Vayo:
Hunichen:
Vayo was ahead, but Hunichen held live cards. The flop gave Hunichen some straight outs to a jack, but it was the turn that gave him the lead. Unfortunately for him, his newfound enthusiasm would be short lived as the spiked on the river to give Vayo back the lead and the elimination.

We caught up with the action on a flop, where Jonathan Duhamel was in a heads-up pot against Steve Gross.
Duhamel bet 6,500 from middle position and Gross called on the button.
Both players checked the turn, however, when the landed on the river, Duhamel led out for 13,800. Gross pondered for a bit and slid out a calling stack. Duhamel flipped over for a rivered straight and Gross mucked.
Duhamel is now sitting on 95,000.

With around 25,000 in the pot and a board reading , Thiago "XTheDecanoX" Nishijima checked to Sven Niklas "ragen70" Heinecker, who fired out 12,000. Nishijima thought for a brief moment before announcing he was all in for around 100,000, and Heinecker snap-folded.
Despite losing that hand, the man known as "ragen70" online is still up from the last time we checked in with him, apparently the beneficiary of a much-needed double.

The action started with Joseph Cheong opening it up to 4,300 from early position. Only Andrew Weisner called on the button and it was on to Kyle Julius in the small blind. Julius opted to three-bet to 13,200. Cheong made the call and so did Weisner.
Flop:
On the flop, Julius led for 10,200 and Cheong quickly raised it up to 28,000. Weisner got out of the way and after plenty of thought, Julius called.
On the turn, Julius checked and Cheong said, "I'm all in." Those words were enough to see Julius' cards straight into the muck as Cheong raked in the nice pot.

We saw Lee Childs, who finished seventh in the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event, standing on the rail packing his headphones, which lead us to believe he's been eliminated.
He confirmed our suspicions and informed us that his demise came after an opponent opened for 4,200 and he moved all in for 27,000. His opponent, who held , made the call, and Childs' didn't improve.

Action began on Gavin Smith under-the-gun, who opened to 4,400. He was called by the player directly behind him and another player in middle position. John Tabatabai then three-bet to 14,000 from the small blind. Smith called and everyone else folded for a heads-up pot.
Both players then proceeded to check down every street on the board. Tabatabai tabled and Smith flipped over for nines and fives and scooped the pot.
Gavin is sitting on 95,000.
