Michael Berk ripped all in for 3,325,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Bryan Obregon in the big blind who made the call.
Michael Berk: A♣K♥
Bryan Obregon: K♠K♦
Berk was looking for the coveted ace to stay alive but the 9♥9♣8♦ provided no help. The 6♦ and 7♦ runout also changed nothing and Berk headed to the payout desk.
Diego D'Aquilio raised to 525,000 from the button before small blind Daniel Weinman three-bet to 1,600,000. D'Aquilio then moved all in for 5,630,000 and Weinman snap-called.
Diego D'Aquilio: A♣6♠
Daniel Weinman: J♠J♦
The Q♥J♣8♥ flop gave Weinman a set, and D'Aquilio was drawing dead by the 6♥ turn. The river card was never shown on the stream but it was inconsequential and D'Aquilio headed to the payout desk.
Steven Jones was one of the short stacks at the feature table and moved all in for 2,700,000 from under the gun. Alec Torelli just called from the hijack and the rest of the table folded.
Steven Jones: A♥K♥
Alec Torelli: A♣J♣
There was another dominating position for the at-risk player, but the flop of J♦9♣3♥ gave Torelli the lead with a pair of jacks. The roles reversed again on the K♣ turn, and Jones held on through the 9♠ river.
Pierpaola Lamanna was all in for around 4,000,000 and Dean Hutchison was the one to put him at risk. The cards were already turned up and the dealer was ready to go.
Pierpaola Lamanna: A♦Q♣
Dean Hutchison: K♠K♥
The board ran out 10♦5♣K♦A♠3♠ and Hutchison flopped a set of kings before he dodged the Broadway draw to eliminate Lamanna in 40th place for $229,000.
Andrew Hulme raised to 2,100,000 and Tim Van Loo went into the tank before he shoved around 9,000,000 from the next seat over. The rest of the table was out of the way and Hulme called quickly to put Van Loo at risk.
Tim Van Loo: A♦K♦
Andrew Hulme: A♠A♣
The board ran out 2♦A♥4♠8♥5♠ and Hulme held on with a flopped set of aces to eliminate Van Loo in 39th place for $229,000.
Juan Maceiras Lapido opened to 500,000 in the cutoff and Dean Hutchison three-bet to 2,500,000 in the small blind.
"Uh, oh! How much is that?" Lapido asked before calling. "I'm not going anywhere."
Hutchison continued for 1,850,000 on the J♥3♥3♠ flop and Lapido raised to 4,500,000. Hutchison called as the camera crew worked its way over.
Hutchison checked on the J♠ turn and Lapido sized down to 3,500,000. Hutchison again called. Hutchison checked once more on the 4♥ river and Lapido pulled the trigger and announced "all in."
Hutchison went deep into the tank for over five minutes as he considered calling off with his final 8,500,000. He eventually folded and Lapido wiped his forehead as those at the table encouraged him to turn over a bluff.
"I may have been bluffing with the best hand, but I don't think so. I had two pair. Better than jacks and threes."
Alexander Villa raised to 525,000 in the cutoff and Jose Aguilera defended from the big blind. The flop came 8♥6♠5♦ and Villa continued with a bet of 850,000. Aguilera check-raised to 2,500,000 and Villa called.
The turn brought the A♣ and Aguilera slid out a bet of 2,000,000. Villa again called and the 7♣ completed the board. Aguilera announced all in, putting Villa to the test for his remaining stack of roughly 7,400,000. Villa thought for nearly half of the break and then called it off. Aguilera showed 8♠8♣ for a set of eights while Villa was left with A♥8♦.
The remaining 37 players have stepped out for their first break of the day. Enjoy these highlights from the opening level of Day 8.
Ryan Tamanini raised to 600,000 and Daniel Scroggins then three-bet to 1,700,000 on the button. The four-bet shove of the initial raiser followed and Scroggins folded.
One hand later, Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi raised to 1,475,000 on the button and left himself exactly 300,000 — one big blind — behind. Eric Schneider checked his cards, nodded and tossed in chips before confirming he just called.
The flop came 10♣8♠4♣ and Schneider moved all-in. Ohulchanskyi called.
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: K♣Q♠
Eric Schneider: J♦10♠
The 10♦ turn gave Schneider trip tens and left the Ukrainian drawing dead to make the K♦ river bittersweet.
Raj Vohra raised to 1,100,000 from middle position before Anirban Das made it 2,200,000 from late position. The button and blinds got out of the way and Vohra called for the rest of his chips. Action was heads up and Vohra was at risk for just over 2,000,000.
Raj Vohra: 6♣6♥
Anirban Das: A♥Q♦
The board ran out K♣3♦A♦2♠5♥ and Das flopped a pair of queens to send Vohra to the rail in 36th place for $229,000.
