Pier Angelo Perazzi limped under the gun, Peter Jetten shoved all in from the cutoff and Perazzi called.
Peter Jetten: A♥K♥
Pier Angelo Perazzi: J♥J♦
The board ran out Q♥Q♦J♠7♦9♥. Perazzi flopped a full house, eliminating Jetten on the bubble.

Martin Zamani was all in preflop against Ryan Laplante who had him covered.
Martin Zamani: J♠10♣
Ryan Laplante: K♣K♦
Laplante smashed the K♥8♦8♣ flop, leaving Zamani drawing dead. The A♦ turn and K♠ river were a formality. Laplante's quad kings were good for the winner and Zamani hit the rail shortly after making the money.
A player went all in from under the gun for his last 22,000 chips and was called by Adam Adler in middle position who had a covering stack.
Under the Gun: K♥8♠
Adam Adler: J♠10♥
Both players hit the K♦9♣6♦ flop with the under the gun player hitting top pair and Adler hitting an open-ended straight draw. The Q♠ brought the straight in and the 6♥ river was inconsequential. Adler secured the elimination and padded his stack with his opponent's chips.
Alex Epstein found himself all-in in three consecutive hands.
Hand One:
Epstein jammed from middle position for 33,000 finding a caller in Jon Kyte on the button.
Alex Epstein: J♦9♣
Jon Kyte: K♦6♦
The board ran out Q♥9♠Q♦A♦Q♠ and Epstein secured his first double-up.
Hand Two:
The very next hand Epstein shoved all in from early position and failed to find a caller, though he still won the dead money in the middle.
"I had it this time" he announced as he tabled A♦Q♥.
Hand Three:
Epstein was now under the gun and attempted to move all in. Unfortunately, he did so in two motions and it was considered just a raise to 42,500 by the floor. Johan Schultz-Pedersen was next to act and moved all in for 149,500, as did
Pier Angelo Perazzi on the button. Epstein called off for his tournament life.
Alex Epstein: A♣K♠
Johan Schultz-Pedersen: K♥K♣
Pier Angelo Perazzi: A♥K♦
The board ran out 8♥Q♣10♠9♦9♠. Schultz-Pedersen scooped the pot and eliminated Epstein.
Thomas Kysar opened to 25,000 from under the gun and was called by Marcos Exterkotter on the button.
Kysar bet 25,000 on the J♥10♥8♠ flop and was called by Exterkotter. Both players checked the 8♥ turn.
The river was the A♣. Kysar bet again, this time for 47,000 and was once again called by his opponent.
Exterkotter tabled A♥10♠ for two pair and Kysar revealed K♥Q♣ for the rivered Broadway straight to take the pot down.
With three-way action, the board reading K♥Q♠6♣, and about 46,000 in the pot, Patrick Leonard checked, Yun Li checked and Adam Friedman bet 37,000. Leonard made the call and Li folded.
The turn was the 8♠. Leonard checked, and Friedman moved all in for 126,000. Leonard thought about his decision for about 90 seconds before making the fold.
Roland Israelashvili limped in under the gun, as did Robert James in middle position. Marcos Exterkotter raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and Dario Sammartino called on the button. Israelashvili folded and James called.
The flop came 9♣7♦6♠. Action checked to Exterkotter, who bet out for 34,000. In response, Sammartino raised to 74,000 which prompted Israelashvili to fold, James to call and Exterkotter to get out of the way.
The turn came the K♥ and James now chose to lead for 150,000. Sammartino spent a considerable amount of time in the tank before finally making the fold. James won this pot without a showdown.
