After being left short by Bill Klein earlier in the level, Sergio Aguero's deep run came to an end.
As recounted by his former table, Aguero found himself all in and at risk for his last 6,000 chips, finding two callers.
Sergio Aguero: 5x5x
Opponent 1: Ax10x
Thien Chung WU: Qx10x
The pocket fives of Aguero couldn't hold as the board had Thien Chung WU's hand improve to a full house by the river.
David Algarra opened to 7,000 in the cutoff and picked up calls from the players in the blinds.
The flop came J♣8♥Q♦ and it checked to Algarra who bet 8,000. Only the small blind chose to call.
The 8♣ turn didn't bring any action and a A♣ fell on the river. The small blind led out for 22,000 and Algarra quickly called. The small blind revealed A♥Q♣ but Algarra tabled 10♠9♠ for the straight and took down the pot.
Three-handed on a board of 5♦J♠2♦8♣, Barny Boatman bet 27,000 from middle position and was called by the cutoff, while another player in early position folded.
The river came the 5♣ and Boatman moved all in for 59,000. His opponent took a few seconds before putting in two green 25,000 chips to signify a call.
Boatman turned over 2♥2♠ for the flopped set and his opponent flashed K♠K♦ before mucking.
Elsewhere, Martin Zamani was just eliminated as his table then prepared to head off to the Horseshoe section.
Sohale Khalili and Bertrand Grospellier were heads-up on a 9♣2♦7♠ flop. Grospellier checked from the big blind and Khalili bet 4,000 from early position. Grospellier then check-rasied to 11,000 and Khalili called.
Grospellier continued for 18,000 on the 8♣ turn and Khalili again called.
The 7♣ completed the board and Grospellier slowed down and checked. Khalili thought for a while before deciding to bet 30,000 himself. Grospellier laid his hand down and Khalili was sent the pot.
At another table, Barry Shulman was eliminated.
In a heads-up raised pot, the flop was A♠Q♥3♠ when Garrett Garvin bet 5,000, and his opponent called.
The turn was the 10♥ and Garvin sent another bet, this for 25,000. His opponent took a minute before folding showing an A♦.
Three players saw a flop of Q♥J♦9♥, and the action quickly checked to the 2♠ turn. Khamsy Bowles was first to act and fired out a bet of 7,000. Eric Salazar folded but the third player in the hand made the call.
The 3♥ completed the board, and Bowles continued for 11,000. Her opponent paused for a few seconds before pushing her cards into the muck.
Lee Wai Kiat has been quietly building a stack, having more than doubled his Day 3 starting stack to 733,000.
Picking up the action on the river, Matthew Adams in the big blind was involved in a hand with Thomas McCartney in middle position. With the board reading 9♦J♣K♦2♣K♠ and over 200,000 already in the middle, Adams pushed forward a bet of 185,000. That did not appear to sit too well with McCartney who told the table "I flopped the nuts, I've got queen-ten." After only a minute or two, McCartney open folded Qx10x but was shown the bad news after Adams flipped over A♠10♥ for the stone cold bluff. McCartney managed a "nice hand" as he saw a massive pot shipped towards his opponent.
Tony Ghaffari was down to just 30,000 chips and got them all in preflop against another player.
Tony Ghaffari: K♠10♦
Opponent: 7♠7♥
The board ran out A♣9♥10♠K♦K♥ and Ghaffari received a much-needed double-up.
Meanwhile, a lot of new faces are showing up in the silver section, coming from the now broken tables over at the Paris sides of things.
Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading J♥4♣2♠9♣. George Holmes checked from the big blind and Bruno Soutavong bet 12,000 from early position. Holmes raised to 32,000 and Soutavong made the call.
The river came the 10♦. George Holmes bet again, this time for 77,000. Once again Soutavong made the call.
Holmes tabled A♣3♣ for a flush draw and straight draw that missed, while Soutavong had A♠J♠ for top pair to take down a sizable pot.
Tim Van Loo and Joel Shulruf were heads-up on a board of 8♦K♠9♠Q♦ when Shulruf, on the button, bet 29,000.
Van Loo, partially covering his face with his hoodie, tanked for about a minute and rechecked his cards before raising to 120,000. It was then Shulruf's turn to tank as he took a few moments before releasing his cards with a sigh.
