Heath Eliminated, Mason Rivers a Double

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ben Heath was seen packing his things, and his opponent Bjorn Kozenkai was still showing {k-}{k-} as the board was being washed by the dealer. He exits short of the money, while Kozenkai approaches 200,000.

Meanwhile, Scott Seiver had Craig Mason all in and at risk for his last 98,000.

Craig Mason: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Scott Seiver: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board fell {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Mason hit a straight on the river to survive.

Vlad Darie open-shoved for a remaining stack around 130,000 and Ankush Mandavia reshoved on the button. Ryan Pedigo, with less than 100,000 left, called all-in and the three players tabled their cards:

Ankush Mandavia: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board revealed {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, improving Mandavia's hand into a set of queens and eliminating his two opponents at the same time.

Kings for Schwartz

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Huy Lam open-shoved for less than 100,000 chips left and it was called by Jake Schwartz next to him. The rest of the table folded to create the following showdown:

Huy Lam: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Jake Schwartz: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Lam was in desperate shape for a double up and found no help on the {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs} ranout to be eliminated from the event.

Wien Knocks Out Licona

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jehu Bordier Licona opened to 16,000 in the cutoff and Jeremy Wien three-bet to 53,000 on the button. Licona called.

Licona then jammed for 109,000 on the flop of {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Wien thought over the situation before calling with his opponent covered.

Jehu Bordier Licona: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Jeremy Wien: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

It turned out to be a good call as Wien was ahead with ace-king. The {5-Clubs} turn was an action card as it gave Licona a flush draw but the river brought the {10-Hearts} and Wien took down the big pot and sent Licona to the rail.
