Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Acton was picked up on the flop on a 4♥K♥7♠ board, and after it was checked by the small blind and big blind, Jake Schwartz bet out 110,000. Then Tomoki Matsuda on the button raised to 400,000. Once both the blinds folded, Schwartz announced all in for 960,000. Matsuda made the call, and Schwartz was at risk.

Jake Schwartz: A♥Q♣4♠4♣3♦ All in
Tomoki Matsuda: K♠K♦Q♦10♠8♦

It was a cooler for Schwartz as it was his bottom set against Matsuda's top set. The 3♠ on was no help at all for Schwartz, as it counterfeited any potential low, he could make. The 10♦ on the river officially eliminated Schwartz.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

After action folded to Matthew Beinner on the button, he raised to 100,000. Dylan Smith in the small blind then three-bet to 340,000. When it got back to Beinner, he made the call.

The flop came A♥5♥8♠ and Smith moved all in for 720,000, and Beinner made the call.

Matthew Beinner A♣8♥7♠3♥2♦ All in
Dylan Smith: A♠A♦9♦6♣2♥

Smith flopped top set but was up against a flush draw of Beinner, who also had the nut low. The turn was the Q♥ to give Beinner the flush, and the river was the 6♦ leaving Smith with just 15,000 chips.

A few hands later Smith was officially eliminated.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Two hands were playing out simultaneously on a pay jump, with action at table 671 wrapping up first.

After the 5♣K♦A♦ flop, Seth Frederici checked in the big blind before Samuel Vasquez moved all in from under the gun. John Bunch got out of the way on the button, with Frederici making the call.

Samuel Vasquez: A♣10♣9♥5♦2♦ All in
Seth Frederici: A♠J♦9♦7♣2♠

Vasquez was ahead with two pair, but the 4♥ turn brought Frederici the low. The 8♦ river then completed Frederici's flush draw, sending Vasquez to the rail in 24th place.

He was joined quickly by Michael Simhai, who was eliminated within moments on the next table but made the pay jump in 23rd position.
