A player raised to 15,000 and Connor Drinan called next to her. Bojan Gledovic three-bet to 55,000 and it folded back to Drain an who took a minute and called.
A paired flop 7♦8♦8♠ showed up and Drinan check-folded after Gledovic continued to bet for 45,000.
Patrik Antonius opened to 12,000 and was three-bet to 36,000 by Jason Somerville in the cutoff. Action folded back to Antonius and he made the call.
Both players checked on the 9♣5♦8♥ flop and then Antonius led out for 50,000 on the Q♠ turn. Somerville thought a bit before sending his hand into the muck.
Oghenovo 'Novo' Constare raised 15,000 in the hijack and the cutoff made the call, before Faraz Jaka came along in the big blind.
All three players tapped the table on the K♥10♦5♦ flop and the J♥ peeled on the turn.
Jaka checked, and Constare fired a bet of 32,000. The cutoff thought about it for about 20 seconds before putting in a raise to 87,000. Jaka quickly folded and Constare made the call.
The 7♦ landed on the river and Constare took the lead, firing three green chips across the line for a bet of 75,000. His opponent tanked for some time, cutting out the 75,000 of his 131,000 total and then stacking it back up. After another 30 seconds, he made the call.
Constare tabled K♦8♦, for a flush on the river and his opponent whipped his cards into the muck.
Jose Jaraiz and an opponent under the gun built a pot of around 150,000 heading to the river and the board showing Q♦3♥K♠J♣8♠. The under-the-gun player then fired out 100,000.
Jaraiz, in middle position, responded by moving all in for 257,000, sending his opponent deep in the tank. The minutes ticked by as he anguished over the decision.
"One more minute and I'm calling the clock," tablemate Daniel Vampan eventually said. He decided to call for most of his stack as Jaraiz turned over Q♠Q♥ for a set, securing the pot when his opponent mucked.
A player in the hijack raised to 12,000, Gabi Livshitz three-bet to 40,000 and the original raiser called.
A flop of A♠10♦J♠ checked through to the 2♣ on the turn. The hijack took the lead for 40,000 and Livshitz called.
The 4♣ river slowed down the hijack and the action was checked to Livshitz, who bet out for 35,000. The hijack responded with a raise to 120,000 and Livshitz snap-called.
Hijack: 3♦3♠
Gabi Livshitz: A♥K♥
Livshitz picked off the river raise with ease and won a big pot.
Patrick Tardif raised to 13,000 from middle position and the player in the big blind made the call. On the K♥8♣8♠ flop, Tardif continued for 8,000 and received another call.
The turn came the J♥ and Tardif upped the ante to a massive overbet of 45,000. Once again, the big blind check-called.
The river 4♠ completed the board and the big blind checked for the third time. This time, Tardif threw enough T-25,000 chips in the middle to put the big blind's stack of 105,000 all in.
The big blind thought for a while and eventually tossed in the call for his tournament life. Tardif tabled A♦K♣ for two pair, and that was the winner when the big blind showed K♦7♦ for the same two pair but with a worse kicker.
The big blind was eliminated and Tardif won a big pot around the bubble.
Paul Dhaliwal moved all in for his last 52,000 from the small blind. Jacob Lonis, the big blind, made the call.
Paul Dhaliwal: A♥10♥
Jesse Lonis: A♠K♠
Dhaliwal would need help to remain in the tournament, and the 10♣J♦2♠ provided that help as he paired his ten. The 4♠ turn and 2♣ river did nothing to change the outcome, and Dhaliwal remained alive.
"At least you're not a prick," said Lonis, joking with Dhaliwal. "I need people to see how unlucky I am!" added Lonis.
Punnat Punsri raised to 12,000 preflop from early position. Action folded around to Andy Dinh in the cutoff, who was the only caller.
The flop came 6♦10♠7♣, and Punsri decided to check. Dinh took a moment before tossing in 13,000. Punsri folded in response.
The player in the cutoff had already shoved for his short stack and Chance Kornuth called from the small blind to put him at risk.
Cutoff: 3♣3♦
Chance Kornuth: 4♠4♣
Kornuth found himself with a commanding lead with his baby pair and the 9♠J♥2♠A♣5♥ runout was of no help to his opponent — eliminating him late in the evening.
