We caught up with this one on the flop, with three players still in — Eugene Katchalov (big blind), Antonio Esfandiari (hijack), and Nick Schulman (cutoff).
The board read 
and Katchalov had just checked. Esfandiari fired a bet of 123,000, then Schulman raised to 277,000, forcing a fold from Katchalov. Esfandiari thought a moment, then called.
The turn brought the 
and a bet of 362,000 from Esfandiari. That sent Schulman into the tank for a full minute or so, after which he finally emerged to raise all in for about 1.1 million, and Esfandiari called.
Esfandiari: 
Schulman: 
Two pair for Esfandiari, better than Schulman's overpair. The river came the 
, and Schulman is out. Exactly 40 players remain.

Action folded to Cary Katz in the small blind and he limped, prompting Tobias Reinkemeier to raised to 80,000 from the big blind. Katz made the call and then checked dark headed to the flop, which came down 
.
Reinkemeier proceeded to bet 85,000, Katz called, and then the latter check-called a bet of 275,000 on the turn. Both players checked the 
river, and Katz rolled over 
for trips.
We didn't get a clear look at Reinkemeier's cards, but it appeared he held 
for a missed flush draw.
Meanwhile, Talal Shakerchi has joined the lineup here on the feature table.

"Two pair," Mizrachi announced, tabling

Antonio Esfandiari opened to 75,000 from the cutoff seat, Noah Schwartz called on the button, and Jason Mercier three-bet to 228,000 from the big blind. Esfandiari released, and Schwartz four-bet to 484,000. Mercier called.
The dealer fanned 
, and Mercier checked. Schwartz fired out a bet, and Mercier relased.
Schwartz mucked, showing only the .
Tobias Reinkemeier raised to 70,000 from early position and was called by Phil Ruffin in middle position. Haralabos Voulgaris was in the cutoff and decided it was a good time to raise to 190,000, which only Voulgaris called.
When the flop fell 
, Reinkemeier checked and Voulgaris fired out 275,000. It proved enough as Reinkemeier, who was preoccupied getting a complimentary massage (one of the perks of playing in a $1,000,000 buy-in tournament), simply folded his hand.
