The action was heads-up on a board showing 9♦8♥9♥3♥ with Robert French checking to Carolyn Grad.
Grad's bet was met by an all-in from French, with Grad taking some time before sliding in the call.
Robert French: Q♥10♥
Carolyn Grad: 9♣7♣
French's turned flush had the lead, while Grad could not improve on the 4♣ river as the chips moved to the left.
Humberto Brenes bet 8,000 from early position and was called by the hijack. Nina Hazdovac on the button moved all in for 45,000. Brenes bet 120,000 which was enough to scare off middle position who revealed they had 9♦9♣.
Nina Hazdovac: K♦K♥
Humberto Brenes: A♣K♠
Hazdovac had a commanding lead and the safe board of Q♥3♣3♥7♣2♥ gave Hazdovac two pair and completed the double up through Brenes.
Marc Cutter opened to 7,000 from early position and was called by Francisco Calderon in the small blind. Pamela Belote then raised in the big blind and both opponents called.
Calderon checked the 3♥K♠9♣ flop before Belote continued for 6,000. Cutter took a moment before folding, as did Calderon while Belote added to her stack.
Christopher Ruma bet 7,000 from early position and was met with a raise from the button to 11,000. Ruma made the call.
The flop came J♠3♠2♣ and the button moved all in for 42,000 and was snap-called by Ruma.
Button: Q♠Q♣
Christopher Ruma: 8♠8♣
Ruma was dominated and could only hit an eight to win the pot. The 9♣ was a brick, but the 8♥ on the river gave Ruma a set and he celebrated loudly, while the button picked up the pocket ladies and slammed them to the felt.
Cheryl Catrair was heads up and all in, covering her opponent after the K♣3♥7♦10♥6♥ runout.
Button: K♦J♦
Cheryl Catrair: K♥K♠
Catrair's flopped set of kings was more than enough to score the elimination, adding to her stack shortly after break.
As is tradition in the Super Seniors event, the oldest remaining player in the field has been identified.
91-year-old Marshall Brenden has earned that distinction as play resumes on Level 13.
Level: 13
Blinds: 2,000/3,000
Ante: 3,000
Players have reached the first 20-minute break of the day.
The break may be extended while the 500 chips are removed from play.
Kevin Chapman opened to 7,000 from middle position and was called by Linda Iwaniak in the small blind and Koji Takagi in the big blind.
The blinds checked the A♦6♥6♣ flop to Chapman, who continued for 9,000. Iwaniak then check-raised to 20,000 with Takagi making the call. Chapman folded before the 2♣ turn.
Iwaniak announced all in and Takagi quickly called to show his opponent the bad news.
Linda Iwaniak: A♠J♥
Koji Takagi: A♥6♦
Takagi's flopped full house remained in front as the 4♥ river completed the board. "Good thing I folded my queens" said Chapman, as Iwaniak wished everyone good luck on her way to the rail.
