Jon Orlando bet 80,000 from the big blind on a flop of 5♠5♦9♥. After several moments, the player in the hijack made the call.
The turn came 2♦, and Orlando checked. His opponent bet 35,000, which was instantly called.
Orlando immediately moved all in on the J♣ river. After a short while, his opponent called. Orlando showed 10♠9♣ for nines and fives, which were good as his opponent quickly showed 8x8x.
With the clock showing 102 remaining players and 97 spots paid, the tournament director has announced that the hand-for-hand portion of the tournament has begun. The early start to the process is the result of significant stalling across the field.
Brandon Steven, in early position, had the player in the small blind at risk as the cards had already been tabled.
Small Blind: J♠J♦
Brandon Steven: A♣K♣
Steven instantly moved into the lead on the A♥9♥5♥ flop. The 6♦ changed nothing, and Steven took down the pot and scored another elimination on the A♠ river.
Kristen Foxen got all the chips in the middle preflop against Henrik Hecklen who covered her.
Kristen Foxen: A♥K♠
Henrik Hecklen: K♥Q♣
Foxen was in a good position to double-up here with her superior holding, but the board runout of 9♦J♥5♠10♦A♦ gave Hecklen a straight and she was sent to the rail close to the bubble.

John Hennigan opened to 32,000 from middle position before a player in the cutoff moved all in for 119,000. Action folded back around to Hennigan and he quickly made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Cutoff Player: 10♣10♥
John Hennigan: A♦K♠
It was a coinflip just a few spots shy of the money but one Hennigan was unable to win after the board ran out 8♥J♠J♦4♥9♥ to keep the tens best and put a dent in the Poker Hall of Famer's stack.
Preflop action opened with the player in the cutoff raising to 33,000. Shaun Deeb, the button, reraised all in for 85,000. The cutoff was the only caller, and the cards were turned over.
Shaun Deeb: A♠8♠
Cutoff: J♦9♣
Deeb extended his lead on the A♦7♦6♠ board. The J♥ turn was a slight scare card, but the 6♥ doubled Deeb up.
