According to Brewer, he check-raised the turn on a board of Jx5x3x8♦ with two diamonds and Stanford called for half his stack. The river came the 3♦ and Stanford was all in with 8♣4♣, but Brewer had rivered a flush with 9♦6♦.
Stephen Chidwick bet 21,000 on a board of 4♠6♦9♠Q♣ and Ben Yu called.
The river came the 8♦ and Chidwick now shoved all in for 113,000. Yu used up several time banks as he tanked for nearly two minutes before releasing his hand.
Chidwick has now opened up a sizeable chip lead in this match.
Dominik Nitsche raised to 4,000 on the button and Adrian Mateos reraised to 16,000 out of the big blind. Nitsche called and the dealer fanned the flop of A♥8♣2♦. Mateos continued with a bet of 6,500 and Nitsche just called.
The turn brought the 6♥ and Mateos sized up a bet of 20,000 this time. Nitsche still called and the 8♥ paired the board on the river. Mateos jammed all in and Nitsche snap-called for his last 37,000 chips. Mateos tabled A♣Q♣ but it was no match for the A♦8♦ of Nitsche who made a full house.
As the full board read J♣8♣Q♥8♦K♠ Landon Tice could be seen counting out a stack of red chips in preparation to pay off what appeared to be a river jam from Dan Smith on the button. In front of Smith laid K♥K♦ for a rivered full house while Tice's card had already been mucked.
"We're back to even," Tice said as he finished counting his remaining chip stack.
Erik Seidel could never recover after doubling up Gabor Szabo earlier in their match and just found himself all in for around 20,000.
Erik Seidel: Ax8x
Gabor Szabo: 10♣10♠
The board ran out 6♥Q♣4♦3♦9♠ and Seidel couldn't improve against Szabo's tens as Szabo moved on to the next round.
Elsewhere, Chance Kornuth was victorious in his match against Jeremiah Williams.
