Nick Kost raised to 25,000 from the hijack and got calls from both Dominick Sarle in the cutoff and John Racener on the button.
Kost stood pat, while his opponents each drew one.
After post-draw checks from Kost and Sarle, Racener cut out a bet of 60,000. Kost quickly called, and then Sarle called as well.
Racener showed 9x6x5x4x2x for a ninety-six, and both his opponents mucked their hands.

Nick Pupillo reluctantly called a bet by James Johnson after the final draw and the cards were exposed. Johnson tabled the 5♦ / 10♥6♠4♦2♣ for a ten-ten and the 7♥7♠ / 5♥4♣2♠ of Pupillo was no good.
Both tangled again in the same variant shortly after but chopped it up. Pupillo remains the far bigger stack at the table while Johnson is in the middle of the pack.
Pot-Limit Hold 'em
Luis Concha and Scott Bohlman exchanged pot-sized preflop raises from the cutoff and button respectively until Bohlman's last 86,000 chips were in the middle.
Scott Bohlman: A♦10♥
Luis Concha: K♥K♦
The board came K♠3♦6♦7♥2♥, flopping Concha a set of kings, and then failing to bring Bohlman runners to either a flush or Broadway to save his tournament life.
With big bet games changing the leaderboard almost every hand, the next player to become a victim of the rapid action was Elias Hourani who sent his chips over to Dominick Sarle.
While that hand played out, a big pot was brewing over on 607 and Frederic Moss as well as Chad Eveslage had to verify the full bet sizes when the two players had mashed their boards to show the hand strength.
Stud 8 or Better
Frederic Moss: 5♣10♦6♥5♠6♠6♦J♥
Chad Eveslage: K♦7♠ / 4♦7♥K♠7♦Q♦
"I only called," Moss clarified the action until seventh street on which three bets worth 120,000 chips each then went in against Eveslage. The latter had improved to a superior full house while Moss already had a full house on sixth street according to the table chat.
Once the bet was fully paid off, they parted ways as the field was down to the final four tables.
Big O
Scott Bohlman raised the pot while on the button and then called all-in for 74,000 when Nick Pupillo repotted out of the big blind.
Scott Bohlman: A♠K♠10♣8♠5♦
Nick Pupillo: A♥Q♠Q♦6♥2♠
The "classic race" as dubbed by Bohlman awarded a full double with a full house on the 9♥6♠5♠5♥A♣ runout as Pupillo had no qualifying low hand.
Razz
Tomasz Gluszko: 8x2x10x / 9x3x7x7x
Ryan Roeder: 6x7x3x / 8x4x6xJx
Tomasz Gluszko was among the chip leaders not long ago and has dropped right back into the middle of the pack. The latest hand saw him pay off bets by Ryan Roeder on sixth and seventh street as he was then shown an eighty-seven by the table chip leader. Gluszko exposed his cards but his ninety-seven was no good.
Stud Hi-Lo Regular
A short-stacked Bryan Micon got his last 37,000 in on third street with 9x9x7x against Andrew Kelsall who held Ax4x3x. once seventh street was dealt, Kelsall had aces and tens with a ten low, while Micon only held nines and sevens with a worse low to give Kelsall a scoop and eliminate "The Icon"
Stud 8 or Better
Elias Hourani has also just eliminated David Avina with aces and eights versus Avina's jacks and decues with neither player making a low.
These eliminations have thinned the field to just 25 players, leaving one more elimination before just four tables are left in play.
Omaha 8 or Better
Scott Bohlman had seen his stack decimated not long ago and he was now all-in with a short stack after a 7♠6♣3♦ flop, getting called by Robert Goldfarb.
Scott Bohlman: A♣10♠2♥2♣
Robert Goldfarb: A♦8♦7♦7♥
The Q♥ turn and 4♠ river were bricks and they chopped it up.
Level: 23
Limit Flop/Draw: 10,000-20,000, 20,000-40,000 Limits
Stud Games: 5,000 Ante, 5,000 Bring-In, 20,000 Completion 20,000-40,000 Limits,

Nick Kost: XxXx / K♠A♦Q♠3♣ folded on sixth street
Dominick Sarle: XxXx / 3♥4♠J♥A♥
Gregory Kelley: XxXx / 7♥A♠J♦ folded on fifth street
Nick Kost bet fifth street after which Dominick Sarle raised, forcing out Gregory Kelley. Kost called and checked sixth after which Sarle then bet once more. That ended the hand right there as Kost elected to fold, allowing Sarle to scoop the pot without showdown.
