Action folded to Daniel Mcnally in the cutoff and he raised to 28,000. Yuval Bronshtein made the call from the button, Jack Ward came along from the big blind, and it was three-way action to the flop.
Ward was first to act and took a moment before betting 78,000, which inspired a snap-fold from Mcnally. Bronshtein wasn't so quick to act, even asking for a count of how much Ward had behind, though he did ultimately fold.
"I was ready to play for it all," Ward assured him as he stacked the pot with a smile.
Juan Rameriz raised the pot from middle position - which was enough to put him all in. Felicia Johnico then called out of the small blind and so too did Dexter Mcnally out of the big blind.
On the flop, Johnico announced pot and Mcnally said pot immediately after. That amount was enough to put Mcnally all in, with Johnico calling, having Mcnally covered. At this point the three players turned their hands over.
Johnico:
Mcnally:
Ramirez:
The on the turn and the on the river would see Johnico and Mcnally split the side pot, while the short-stacked Ramirez managed to make a wheel to scoop up the main pot.
Antony Lellouche raised to 42,000 under the gun, leaving himself just 45,000 behind, and action folded all the way around to David "ODB" Baker in the big blind. He made the call and then checked the flop, prompting Lellouche to bet 14,000.
Baker responded by sliding out a big stack, enough to commit Lellouche if he chose to call, but the Frenchman conserved his stack and folded in frustration.
Yuval Bronshtein and Jack Ward both limped, as did Chris Bell, and TJ Scarber moved all in for 74,000 from the button. Bronshtein made the call while the other two players got out of the way.
Showdown
Scarber:
Bronshtein:
The flop gave Bronshtein the lead with the nut low and a pair of fours, while the running turn and river improved him to a full house. Scarber took a moment to take it all in, and the stood from the table and exited in 15th place.
After being moved to Table 441 after TJ Scarber's elimination, Antony Lellouche moved all in from middle position for 31,000 and received a call from Scotty Nguyen in the big blind.
Showdown
Lellouche
Nguyen
The board ran out and Lellouche secured a much-needed double, though he is still the short stack in the room.
Antony Lellouche has been on a roller coaster the last ten minutes and now that ride has come to an end as it ran into the deadly dance of Scotty Nguyen and Randy Ohel.
The last hand of Lellouche's tournament saw him, Nguyen and Ohel commit 54,000 preflop as the dealer spread out a flop. Nguyen then led for the pot and Lellouche called all in. Ohel came along for the ride and the dealer readied another card to be dealt on the felt.
Turn:
Ohel shoved all in here and Nguyen called. "Aces up and the nut low," said Ohel as he tabled his .
Nguyen held , while Lellouche was in trouble with .
The completed the board on the river and Lellouche was sent home, while Ohel quartered Nguyen, raking in plenty of new chips.
David "ODB" Baker raised to 22,000 from the hijack and received calls from Felicia Johnico and Dexter Mcnally in the cutoff and button respectively. When the flop came down , Baker checked, Johnico bet 80,000 and Mcnally moved all in for 29,000 more. Baker got out of the way, Johnico made the call, and the cards were turned up:
Showdown
Mcnally:
Johnico:
Mcnally's queens were ahead at that moment, but he was looking to dodge a club. He did so on the turn, but not on the river. Johnico made an ace high flush and had a low to scoop, sending Mcnally out in 13th place.
We didn't catch all the action, but we do know action exploded on a flop of between Felicia Johnico and Roch Cousineau. There was already 200,000 in the pot from preflop action, and Cousineau ended up being all in for 513,000 on the flop.
Showdown
Cousineau:
Johnico:
Cousineau had flopped top two pair and the nut low, which was ahead of Johnico's top and bottom pairs with the second-nut low. The turn gave Cousineau a full house, but it'd be the on the river that would secure him the entire pot, worth a whooping 1.3 million; meanwhile, Johnico was devastated and left with just 30,000.

The last hand before the break has seen Binh Nguyen Eliminated in 12th place. We didn't see when all the chips went in, but it was Nguyen up againt Viacheslav Zhukov and here is how their hands looked.
Showdown
Zhukov:
Nguyen:
The board was not friendly to Nguyen, with Zhokiv having the nut low and the straight to the nine to scoop up the pot. With that, Nguyen was eliminated in 12th place and the 11 remaining players were sent on a break.
