Mitch Garshofsky:
Michael Ortiz:
Turn:
River:
Garshofsky had flopped the second nuts with a king high flush and Ortiz held bottom set with pocket threes and needed help. The turn queen didn't seem to help Ortiz but after the second queen fell on the river he had improved to a full house to scoop the pot and eliminate Garshofsky after their chip counts were confirmed.

Qui Nguyen has departed the field in 91st place for $2,851. The 2016 Main Event Champion for $8,005,310 just missed out on a money ladder after taking the last payout spot in that bracket. Nguyen spent the majority of the day on the feature table that has been live broadcasted to the world by PokerCentral via Twitch.
Coincidently, according to the Nguyen's Hendon Mob account, this will be his first live recorded cash since his Main Event win almost two years ago!
