Sam Chartier opened for 24,000 from the hijack only to have Daniel Perper three-bet to 57,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds all got out of the way, Chartier moved all in for 295,000, and Perper made the call.
Showdown
Chartier: 
Perper: 
It was a bad spot for Chartier, and his best chance of winning was to catch a queen. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't do it as the board ran out 
and Perper's big slick held.
Jeremy Ausmus opened for 25,000 from middle position and received a call from Kyle Julius in the hijack. The 
flop saw Ausmus lead out for 40,000, Julius called, and the dealer burn and turn the 
.
After both players checked, the 
was put out on the river. Ausmus checked, and then ended up folding to a bet of 78,000 from Julius.
David Diaz moved all in under the gun for 195,000 and picked up a caller in Panayote Vilandos from the small blind.
Showdown
Vilandos: 
Diaz: 
The 
was disaster for Diaz as it gave Vilandos a pair of aces and a commanding lead. Diaz would need running cards to stay alive, but it was not meant to be as the 
turn left him drawing dead. After the was put out on the river, Diaz took his leave in 27th place, good for $28,793.

Action folded all the way around to Eric Cloutier in the small blind and he simply moved all in for around 145,000. Matt Giannetti was in the big blind, looked down at his cards, and then tossed in some chips to signify a call.
Showdown
Giannetti: 
Cloutier: 
Cloutier was up out of his seat and headed to the exit as soon as the flop came down 
. The 
turn and 
river were run out for good measure, and now the remaining 27 players will redraw down to the final three tables.
It was folded around to Panayote Vilandos, who pushed all in on the button for about 180,000. Action folded around to Andres Garcia in the big blind, who thought it over and then committed calling chips into the middle to put Vilandos at risk.
Vilandos: 
Garcia:
The flop ran out 
, giving Vilandos the nut-flush draw. It filled in on the 
turn, causing Vilandos to shout a victorious, "Yeah!" A meaningless completed the board and Vilandos doubled through to 370,000.
Garcia still has plenty of chips with 400,000.
Stanislav Barshak moved all in from middle position for 108,000 and cleared the field all the way to Konstantin Puchkov in the big blind. The Russian, who recently tied the record for most cashes in a single World Series of Poker at ten, opted to make the call.
Showdown
Puchkov:
Barshak:
Barshak was behind and needed to improve, but that didn't happen as the board ran out a relatively dull 
.
We're not sure of the details, but we do know Alexander Kravchenko was all in preflop for around 310,000 with 
and racing against the of Dan Smith. The 
put a dagger through Kravchenko's heart as it gave Smith a pair of kings and a huge lead. Neither the turn nor 
river would help Kravchenko, and he was eliminated from the tournament in 31st place for $24,041.
A couple of hands later, Smith would eliminated Cary Katz from the tournament, freeing up the latter's schedule to focus on tomorrow's $1,000,000 buy-in BIG ONE for ONE DROP.
Meanwhile, Kravchenko's elimination was preceded by that of Randy Lew, who exited in 32nd place.
nanonoko Randy Lew Utg raise, I reraise all in w/ JJ and someone snap calls KK, UTG folds. Didn't hit & get 32nd place for $24,041. Using the $ to enter 1500nl

Andrew Weisner opened to 27,000 from under-the-gun and action folded around to Dan Smith on the button, who called. Joseph Cheong then three-bet to 77,000 from the big blind and, undeterred, Weisner pushed all in. Smith got out of the way and Cheong called to put Weisner at risk.
Weisner:
Cheong:
The 
board failed to improve Weisner's hand and he was sent to the rail.
Cheong, on the other hand, is now sitting on 1.2 million in chips.
