Chip leader Jules Dickerson has not slowed down since the end of the dinner break. After winning some pots, he fired another three-bet to 11,000 from middle position after Lawrence Chang had opened to 3,500. Chang made the call and a flop was dealt.
On 5♠4♦2♥, Dickerson continued for 12,000 after a check from Chang. Chang made the call and also called Dickerson's huge bet of 40,000 on the 10♦ turn.
The 10♥ river then went check-check and Chang was first to show. He tabled A♣10♣ for rivered trips, and a surprised Dickerson finally lost a pot on Day 2abc.
On a flop 10♥2♥8♦, Ami Alibay check-called a bet from Cedrric Trevino to see a J♥ on the turn. Alibay checked again and Trevino sent 13,000 in the middle. Alibay took a minute and folded.
Trevino showed 5♠5♣ before grabbing the pot.
After he eliminated Daniel Singer for his last 27,500 chips (Q♣Q♥ > A♠J♥ on K♠8♣8♦K♥2♠), Stephen Chidwick defended from the big blind against Abby Merk who opened to 3,500 in the cutoff.
On K♠7♣A♠, she continued to 2,500, and Chidwick called. But when she fired a second barrel of 7,000 on the turn Q♥, Chidwick raised to 28,000.
Surrounded by players and floors waiting for the table to break, Merk took a minute before calling.
The 4♦ came on the river, and Chidwick bet approximately 100,000, more than Merk's stack. She went in the tank for a minute, counting again and again her stack, and she eventually folded.
Joon Kim moved his last 18,000 in the middle from under the gun as action folded to Toby Price in the cutoff, who asked for a count before calling.
Joon Kim: K♠Q♠
Toby Price: K♦Q♦
"Diamonds," Price called out as the players showed the same hand and were headed toward a chopped pot until the 9♠10♠4♠ flop gave Kim the flush.
The board ran out 8♦7♣ and Kim doubled up. "I have to get a picture of that," Price said, taking out his phone to snap a photo of the board.
The action folded around to the small blind who limped in and Yuri Dzivielevski raised it up to 5,500 in the big blind, which his opponent called.
The flop fanned out 4♣2♣2♥ and the small blind check-called a bet of 6,500 from Dzivielevski. On the Q♥ turn the small blind checked again and Dzivielevski sized to 13,000. The small blind took some time, but eventually tossed in chips for the call.
The A♦ completed the board and the small blind checked a third time. Dzivielevski took close to 30 seconds before sliding forward a big bet of 55,000. His opponent went deep in the tank, but after some consideration, let his cards go and the pot was sent to Dzivielevski.
The under the gun opened to 3,500 and Lester Edoc three-bet to 10,500 in the cutoff. Clayton Mozdzen looked at his cards in the big blind and shoved for 23,500.
After a long thinking, the under the gun raised it to 38,000 and Edoc quickly announced all in with the biggest stack. The under the gun snap-called to create a three-way showdown:
Clayton Mozdzen: 10♥10♠
Under the gun: A♣A♠
Lester Edoc: A♥A♦
Mozden was in desperate shape for the triple up, but found a miracle board 10♣Q♠7♣10♦Q♣ to give him quads to the surprised shouts of his opponents while Edoc and the under the gun got their aces cracked and split the side pot.
Frank Wyville raised to 3,000 from late position and in the small blind, JJ Liu three bet to 9,000 which saw action fold back around to Wyville who called.
The flop rolled out 9♦8♣4♥ and Liu bet 15,000 which saw Wyville raise to 35,000. Liu moved all in for 76,500 and Wyville called to put her at risk.
JJ Liu: Q♦Q♣
Frank Wyville: 4♦4♥
The board ran out 5♦A♥ and Liu's queens remained second best as the she exited the tournament while Wyville collected the pot.
Joaquin Beretta raised from the cutoff to 3,000, finding Leon Sturm in the big blind who defended.
The flop came 2♦A♦7♦ to which Sturm check-called a bet of 2,500 from Beretta.
The turned 6♣ checked through to the 6♥ on the river. Again, Sturm sent the action over to Beretta who bet out for 4,500. Sturm rechecked his cards before sending them to the muck.
