The field has been whittled down quickly as players complete the penultimate level of the night.
Drew Gonzalez moved his short stack into the middle and was quickly called by an opponent to his left.
Drew Gonzalez: 9♣9♥
Late Position: A♥K♥
Gonzalez was ahead with his pocket nines, but the tables turned after the A♣7♦J♣ flop. The J♠ turn and 8♣ provided no help, as Gonzalez wished the table good luck on his way to the payout desk.
Action was picked up on a flop of 10♠K♣4♠. A player in early position bet 160,000 and Jimmy D'ambrosio went all in for slightly over 500,000. His opponent put in the call and was at risk
Early Position: JxQx
Jimmy D'ambrosio: K♥10♣
D'ambrosio had flopped top two pair but still had to fade several outs versus his opponent's open-ended straight draw. The 6♦ turn and 7♥ river were both blanks and D'ambrosio scooped a huge pot.
The button raised to 55,000 and Ludovic Geilich quickly went all in from the big blind for 350,000. The button took some time to think but then called the all in.
Ludovic Geilich: A♠8♠
Button: A♣10♠
The board came 7♠3♦8♣8♦J♦ which gave Geilich the winner with trips and left the button short stacked.
A flop of 8♥A♦A♠ was checked in three spots. Ashok Kamani in the big blind, checked again when the turn came the 4♦. Middle position bet 75,000 and Kamani called.
The river brought the 9♥ and the middle position player went all in for a little over 300,000. Kamani went into the tank for around a minute, before finding a call.
Middle position showed K♣J♥ leaving Kamani to turn over 8♣7♣ for a winning two pair.
Action was picked up on the turn with the board showing 3♣3♦K♥6♠. The players were heads up and about 150,000 was in the middle. Francis Anderson bet 95,000 from late position and his opponent in the small blind called.
The small blind checked and Anderson announced all in, covering his opponent's stack of roughly 400,000. The small blind was clearly put on a difficult decision but in the end reluctantly put in the call.
Small Blind: K♣7♠
Francis Anderson: A♠A♦
The river was an inconsequential 4♦. Anderson's overpair was enough to beat the small blind's top pair and propel his stack to 1,250,000.
An early-position player raised all in for about 100,000 and Daniel Biddle called in late position.
The player at risk tabled Q♥J♠ and Biddle showed 8♠8♣.
The dealer turned over A♣8♦3♦3♠7♦ and Biddle won with the full house.
