According to the tournament info screens, there are 112 players out of 277 entries remaining and they have been sent on the first scheduled 15-minute break, during which the T-500 chips will be raced off.
Vincas Tamasauskas moved his stack into the middle, leaving Dan Heimiller at risk after he previously shoved with the flop showing 9♠5♦Q♠.
Dan Heimiller: A♠10♥5♠2♣
Vincas Tamasauskas: A♦Q♦3♠2♠
Both players hit their flush on the 7♠ turn leaving Heimiller in great position, while the 3♥ river gave both players a share of the low. Heimiller took three quarters of the last pot before break.
Vincas Tamasauskas limped in the hijack and next to act Ren Lin raised the pot to 16,500 from the cutoff. Tamasauskas called and then bet 25,000 on the Q♣9♦6♠ flop. Patrick Leonard took out his phone and began recording Lin while he was in the tank before "Lady Gaga" folded a low combo with A♣3♥2♣2♦.
Tamasauskas returned the favor by showing a pair of jacks with a gutshot, exposing the J♥J♣8♣8♦.
Lin was all-in soon after with king-high against the ace-high of Ari Engel and chopped with no pair as he made a low.
Steven Loube and James Obst were heads up to the flop, with all of Loube's chips in the middle.
Steven Loube: A♦9♥7♠3♠
James Obst: A♣K♣5♦4♠
Obst hit trips on the 4♥7♦4♣ flop, with Loube connecting for the better low on the 8♦ turn. The 3♥ river gave Obst the superior low, leaving Loube scooped and eliminated.
"Oh, professional gambler," Ren Lin concluded when Dan Heimiller had doubled his shorter stack through Patrick Leonard. The cards were already on their backs with the K♦K♣Q♣J♠ for flopped two pair until the Q♦J♦6♦5♦ turn.
Heimiller had the 6♣3♣3♦2♦ for a flush and low draw to scoop it all with a straight flush on the 4♦ river.
On a flop of Q♥10♠7♠, Sterling Savill got his short stack into the middle with the A♠J♥6♣4♠ for the nut flush draw and a gutshot Broadway draw. He was up against the A♥K♣10♣10♦ of Lee Armstrong and the Q♦ turn left Savill drawing dead to make the 4♣ river a formality.
Jordan Siegel raised to 10,500 and Jim Collopy then pushed all-in for around two times of that while all other players folded.
Jim Collopy: A♦A♣J♠7♦
Jordan Siegel: A♥K♣8♠2♦
The board ran out 6♣3♠2♣7♣2♥ and Siegel cracked the aces with trip deuces to earn three quarters of the pot as both had the same live seven. Collopy had a smirk on the face when he remarked that Siegel earned most of the chips with a "Badugi hand".
