Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Former big stack Dylan Smith was spotted on the way out and his cards were dragged into the muck already. The chips were pushed to Freddy Deeb who notched up yet another elimination.
On a board of 9♠7♣7♦J♦10♠, Deeb's J♥9♣7♥4♣ flopped a full house and turned a superior full house to lock up the pot.

Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Robert Emmerson and Tyler Smith went to a flop of 2♥8♣4♠ when Emmerson, in the hijack, bet 55,000.
Smith considered the decision for a moment before piling up the rest of his chips and sliding the tower into the middle, a bet totaling 288,000.
Emmerson quickly folded as Smith took the pot.
Despite that hit, Emmerson is still sitting on a stack of more than 1,000,000 and is one of the chip leaders at the moment.

: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Four players went to a flop of 9♣K♣3♥ when Cary Katz, under the gun, moved all in for 221,000.
Two opponents quickly folded. "One more to go," a hopeful Katz said as action went on Shaun Deeb on the button. Deeb used up two time banks before he called.
Cary Katz: A♣4♣3♦2♣
Shaun Deeb: A♥K♠4♠2♥
"We share the same cards," Deeb said as he was ahead with a pair of kings but needed to fade Katz's flush draw. The board ran out 7♠6♠ and Katz missed everything.
"You always bust me," Katz said as he watched his chips absorbed into Deeb's stack.
"That's about the worst hand you could see," Deeb replied.
