In a blind versus blind situation, Mustapha Kanit completed and Benjamin Ozer checked his option.
On the 7♥2♦4♣ flop, Kanit check-called 30,000. Both checked on the A♣ turn and a 10♥ hit the river.
Kanit led out for 115,000 and Ozer shoved, putting Kanit at risk for his last 720,000. After a minute, Kanit ended up folding.
Nick Cipiti raised on the button to 65,000 and Eugene Todd three-bet all in from the big blind for about 850,000.
"Sometimes you have got to go on a feeling, it would be super light but I have a good feeling," Cipiti chirped before calling.
Eugene Todd: 8♥8♣
Nick Cipiti: Q♦9♦
The board came out 7♣9♠4♦7♥9♥ and Cipiti's gut was correct as he hit his trip nines.
Elsewhere Ran Koller and Michael Stashin both busted.
Danny Nguyen raised all in from the button for about 220,000 and Brandon Schwartz from the big blind called.
Danny Nguyen: 8♠8♥
Brandon Schwartz: A♦4♦
The board came out 3♠5♣2♠ and Schwartz was in the lead with the straight and Nguyen was packing up his bag. The turn came the J♠ and the river was the 5♠. Nguyen started to walk away and was called back by the other players as he had hit the flush.
Elsewhere Seth Fischer busted the tournament.
Ryan Smith open-shoved around 360,000 and Colin York reshoved from the small blind. The big blind folded and they tabled their cards:
Ryan Smith: A♣J♠
Colin York: A♥K♥
Smith didn't find any help during the 4♦5♥10♣9♥K♦ rundown and made his way to the payout desk while York added the chips to his stack.
Kunal Patni moved all in for about 300,000 from the cutoff, Safwane Bahri three-bet to 700,000 on the button, and Akihiro Konishi called all in for 425,000 from the big blind.
Kunal Patni: A♦10♣
Akihiro Konisha: K♥K♣
Safwane Bahri: A♠J♦
The board ran out A♥J♣2♠6♣6♥ — Bahri's kicker came into play to take out two birds with one stone.
All the chips were already in the middle between Colin York, at risk for his last 200,000, and Poorya Nazari who had him covered.
Colin York: K♣K♦
Poorya Nazari: A♣9♣
The best hand remained ahead during the 2♣8♦4♣K♠Q♥ rundown for York to double up.
