Jordan Johnson (MI) raised to 2,900,000 from a late position and called when Waqas Seyal three-bet shoved all-in for 5,700,000 out of the big blind
Waqas Seyal: A♠A♦ 
Jordan Johnson (MI): Q♣J♥
A brutal run out of K♣10♠A♥2♦7♣ sent Seyal to the rail.
Simon Britton opened to 2,000,000 and Brian Smith defended his big blind.
The flop came A♦K♠10♠ and Smith check-called 1,750,000.
The turn was the 5♥. Smith checked again and Britton continued for 5,500,000. Smith check-raised all in for around 9,000,000. Britton called.
Brian Smith: A♣9♣
Simon Britton: 10♥10♣
Smith was drawing dead as the 9♥ rolled off the turn, and he was eliminated in 26th place.
John Gorsuch raised to 5,000,000 preflop from under the gun leaving just 50,000 behind. Brendon Herrick made the call from the big blind.
Herrick bet enough to put Gorsuch all in on the 2♠J♦K♥ flop. Gorsuch called and the cards were revealed.
John Gorsuch: A♦2♥
Brendon Herrick: A♥J♥
The 5♠ turn and J♠ sealed the elimination of Gorsuch from the event,
Level: 37
Blinds: 600,000/1,200,000
Ante: 1,200,000
Quang Vu raised 2,400,000 in early position and action folded to Kyle Hoffner in the small blind.
Hoffner peeled back and his cards, and then promptly three-bet to 8,000,000.
Vu went in the tank in response to Hoffner’s aggression, and then he eventually folded.
“If you show, I show,” Hoffner said to Vu.
Vu started pushing his cards to the dealer, but stopped when he heard Hoffner. Vu showed 6x6x, and then watched as Hoffner tabled AxAx.

With 27 players remaining, the tournament is now redrawing around three tables.
Brian Smith shoved from under the gun for 4,525,000. Steve Foutty three-bet to 10,000,000 on the button and Men Nguyen four-bet all in for 25,250,000.
"How much is it?" asked Foutty.
"I don't care," replied Nguyen, as the dealer counted his chips.
Eventually Foutty called.
Brian Smith: J♠5♠
Men Nguyen: A♦K♦
Steve Foutty: A♥K♥
The 10♥6♣4♠ changed nothing, with the 2♥ giving Foutty a flush draw and the chance to eliminate two players.
The river 5♣ bricked that draw, but improved Smith to a pair and he tripled up.
"Good turn card," remarked Foutty.
"It's the Gladiator!" said Smith. "Are you not entertained?!"
Wade Ostrum moved all in out of the cutoff for his remaining chips and action folded to James Morgan, who was in the small blind and had Ostrum covered.
After a few moments, Morgan made the call to put Ostrum at risk.
Wade Ostrum: A♥5♦
James Morgan: 6♠6♥
The dealer fanned J♦A♣6♣ on the board, giving Ostrum a pair of aces, but were well behind Morgan’s set of sixes.
The J♣ appeared on the turn, improving Morgan’s hand to a full house. Ostrum needed an ace or a jack on the river for a bigger full house, but the Q♥ appeared to send Ostrum out of the tournament.
On a board of J♥7♠7♥A♣Q♣ John Gorsuch had checked. Ediberto Pilotin then bet 5,300,000. After some thought, Gorsuch elected to fold his hand. Pilotin was kind enough to show A♥A♦ for a full house.
