In a four-way pot on a board of 
, Roongsak Griffeth bet 200,000 and Punnat Punsri called behind him, while the two other players in the hand folded.
Griffeth fired a bet of 300,000 on the board-pairing 
turn and Punsri again called. Both players then checked on the 
river.
"Two pair," Griffeth said.
Punsri turned over 
for a better two pair as Griffeth mucked his cards.
Qui Nguyen moved all-in for around 455,000 and Jesse Lonis eyeballed the stack from the other side of the table before making the call in the cutoff. All players behind got out of the way and the cards were flipped over.
Qui Nguyen: 
Jesse Lonis: 
The rail of Nguyen was pulling closer to the table in order to see the showdown. However, they didn't have any reason to celebrate as the board ran out 
. Nguyen failed to improve and Lonis held up with his pocket pair to send the 2016 WSOP Main Event champion to the rail.
Since no former winners are in the remaining field, it's now certain that a new World Champion will be crowned on November 17.
Andy Spears was moved to his new seat and then raised. Arnaud Mattern three-bet jammed for 501,000 in the cutoff and Spears looked him up.
Arnaud Mattern: 
Andy Spears: 
The 
flop opened up some chop opportunities and that remained the case on the 
turn. Instead, Mattern spiked the 
river for the double and put a dent into Spears' stack.
Following a raise and two calls, Mark Zullo three-bet in the big blind and was only called by Nicolas Vayssieres in the cutoff. They headed to the 
flop on which Zullo bet what appeared to be 250,000. Vayssieres didn't ask for a count on the bet sizing but instead matched it with his green T-25,000 chips.
On the 
turn, Zullo checked and Vayssieres bet 224,000 for his opponent to call. The 
fell on the river and Zullo checked with just under 1 million in chips behind. Vayssieres pulled the trigger and moved all-in to send his opponent into a world of pain. Zullo elected to fold and Vayssieres smashed his 
face-up on the table.
Carlos Matos-Erarte opened to 50,000 in the cutoff and Richard Alsup shoved all in for a little less than 300,000 from the big blind. Matos-Erarte quickly called and had Alsup at risk.
Richard Alsup: 
Carlos Matos-Erarte: 
The flop came 
and despite two overcards, Matos-Erarte was still in the lead with his pocket queens. The 
on the turn and the on the river missed Alsup and he was eliminated.
David Lappin open-jammed for 231,000 from middle position, Benjamin Steinwachs came over the top from the button and Glynn Beebe called off his 711,000 sack from the small blind.
David Lappin:
Glynn Beebe: 
Benjamin Steinwachs: 
Steinwachs had both players covered but Beebe held the best made hand and the 
runout secured him the pot while Lappin took his exit from the Main Event field.
On a flop of 
, Pete Skyllas bet 125,000 and Glen Keogh jammed for his 424,000 remaining chips. Skyllas thought for a bit and called.
Glen Keogh:
Pete Skyllas:
Keogh barely had the better pocket pair and as the 
and 
completed the board, he doubled and took the pot.
Action folded to Zachary Mcdiarmid who raised all in from the button and Ayodesi Coker called off from the big blind.
Ayodesi Coker:
Zachary Mcdiarmid:
Coker was ahead until the 
flop paired Mcdiarmid's eight.
The turn wasn't any help to Coker as it gave Mcdiarmid an open-ended straight draw and the 
river completed it ending Coker's Main Event.
Heads-up to the 
turn, Punnat Punsri checked his option out of the big blind and then called a bet worth 250,000 by Bryan Braswell. The 
fell on the river and Braswell quickly checked behind. Punsri tabled the for treys full of kings and that won the pot to award the chips to the Thai.
