Sarah Kilborn-Strand was counting out her chips after doubling through former chip leader Dinesh Alt.
"Two pair versus a set," Alt told us, with both players sitting on about the same stack with around an hour until the dinner break.
Level: 19
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
With one player already all in from middle position on a flop of 6♣Q♣8♠, Christina Gollins reshoved to force a fold from the other player in the hand.
Opponent: 5♦6♦
Christina Gollins:K♦K♠
The dealer didn't save the opponent from elimination when they dealt the J♠ turn and 10♦ river, meaning Gollins gained another knockout bounty, taking her total to three.
On a board of 10♠6♠4♦Q♠6♥, Phil Hui watched his opponent bet 40,000 into a pot of around 100,000.
Hui then shoved for 144,000 and his opponent folded. Hui showed the 7♣ and took down the pot.
Josh Arieh raised to 20,000 in middle position, it folded to Yuya Kita in the cutoff, who three-bet to 60,000 leaving 9,000 chips behind. When it folded back to Arieh, he elected to put Kita all in, which Kita called.
Yuya Kita: A♥K♦
Josh Arieh K♠5♠
Kita was in great shape for the double, and the A♣Q♥9♣ left Arieh needing running cards to find the knockout. The 3♣ on the turn left Arieh drawing dead, as the 9♥ completed the board, to give Kita the double up.
Nevan Chang opened to 20,000 and Haruto Murata called. A third player then raised to 184,000 with 3,000 behind.
Nathaen Blankenship then shoved with Chang and Murata quickly folding. The first all-in player then called for his remaining chips.
All-in player: A♠J♠
Nathaen Blankenship: J♦J♣
The Q♦9♥8♦2♠Q♣ board didn't change anything and Blankenship added the chips to his stack just as his table was breaking.

One player opened to 16,000 and Kevin O'Donnell three-bet all in for over 600,000 — by far the biggest stack at the table.
Po Fuk Ying was behind him and moved all in for 70,000 with the original raiser folding.
Po Fuk Ying: 9♥9♠
Kevin O'Donnell: A♣K♠
It would appear that O'Donnell had been on a tear of late, if his tablemates table talk was anything to go by.
"At least this time you're behind!" someone joked.
The J♦4♣3♠8♦6♦ board held no issues for Ying and he doubled up.
