The last few moments haven't gone Dalton Potter's way and he has now been eliminated.
Potter first got in his K♦8♠ against the 9♥9♦ of Christopher Collier. The runout of 9♠8♥J♠5♠K♣ meant Collier doubled up and left Potter with just 315,000 chips.
A few hands later, Potter shoved his stack of 315,000 into the middle which Nick Maimone called on the button, and Jason Corbett called from the big blind.
The action was checked all the way to showdown on the 3♠A♠7♦K♥4♦ board. Corbett showed Q♦5♠, Potter had J♦10♦, but Maimone had the winner with Q♣J♠ for queen-jack high.
Everybody folded to Kia Raisdana on the button who shoved for 1,010,000. The small blind folded, then George Tomescu in the big blind looked at his cards and snap-called.
Kia Raisdana: A♣8♦
George Tomescu: K♥K♦
Raisdana found a flush draw with the 9♣7♣J♣. After the 3♦ turn, the flush was completed with the K♣ river and he doubled up.
Action folded around to Jeffrey Tanouye in the cutoff, who moved all in for a little over 800,000 and Blake Bohn reraised on the button to isolate.
Jeffrey Tanouye: K♠J♥
Blake Bohn: J♣J♦
Tanouye found a king on the K♥9♦6♦ flop, but Bohn found running diamonds with the A♦ turn and 3♦ river, to end Tanouye's tournament run.
Three-way on a flop of A♥7♥2♥, Kia Raisdana in middle position bet 80,000 and was called by Andres Gonzalez on the button, while Blake Bohn in the big blind check-folded.
On the J♠ turn, Raisdana checked, so Gonzalez took this opportunity to bet 255,000. Raisdana called, then checked the 5♦ river.
Gonzalez decided to go all-in for approximately 3,000,000. Raisdana looked at his cards, and folded.

Jason Corbett opened to 120,000 and Ebony Kenney called from middle position. Ravee Sundara called from the cutoff, Balakrishna Patur called from the small blind, and Nick Maimone called from the big blind.
Five players saw the 2♥10♦A♣ flop which was checked to Kenney, who bet 225,000. Sundara then raised to 630,000, and Patur cold-called. Maimone, Corbett, and Kenney all folded.
The 10♥ turn was checked through to the 2♦ river. Putur led with a shove, which put Sundara to the test for his remaining 1,300,000 chips. Sundara took a lot of time and was talking to himself for the rest of the hand whilst he was contemplating a decision, and after around two minutes he made the fold.
Kia Raisdana opened to 120,000 from the cutoff, then Nicholas Verderamo on the button shoved for 1,015,000. Raisdana went into the tank but eventually called.
Nicholas Verderamo: A♦10♥
Kia Raisdana: A♥10♦
Both players had the exact same hand, so they split the pot on Q♦2♣3♠4♠Q♠.
