Steve Zolotow
Steve Zolotow

In the last hand before the dinner break, two-time bracelet winner, Steve Zolotow was in the hijack and heads-up all in against Landon Tice, who was on the button. Tice called and cards were on their backs.

Landon Tice: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Steve Zolotow: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Tice hit a queen on the flop {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}, the {2-Diamonds} on the turn was no help to either but then the {j-Hearts} showed up on the river turning Zolotow's pair into a set, saving him and getting a huge double up to stay in the game.

Robert Barry
Robert Barry

Robert Barry opened to 100,000 from under the gun and Kevin Schulz flatted from the big blind.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Barry went with a pot-sized bet of 250,000 and Schulz called.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Barry bet 500,000 and Schulz called once again.

On the {8-Clubs} river, Barry put Schulz all-in for his last 1,000,000 chips and Schulz went into the tank for nearly five minutes. The floor was called and the tournament director gave him 30 seconds to act. With less than ten seconds to go, Schulz called with {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

However, Barry had {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for top-top and Schulz was eliminated while Barry jumped even further ahead in the chip lead.
