: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jeffrey Kurtz raised to 80,000 under the gun and Mr Mcswiney called from the small blind.
The flop came 7♦9♠10♣, and Mcswiney check-raised all-in for 370,000 over Kurtz's continuation-bet of 100,000. Kurtz quickly called.
Mr Mcswiney: 9♥10♥ 
Jeffrey Kurtz: Q♦Q♣
Mcswiney's two pair held as the turn and river brought out the A♠ and J♣, respectively. Mcswiney, who was very short-stacked just a moment ago, is back in it.

Kia Raisdana opened the hijack and Matt Affleck three-bet from the cutoff to 220,000. Ruiko Mamiya was on the button and four-bet to 450,000, and Raisdana folded. Affleck took his time before he announced that he was all in for around 1,300,000, and Mamiya snap-called.
Matt Affleck: A♠K♠
Ruiko Mamiya: A♥A♦
Nothing changed after the dealer ran a board of 2♦5♦6♥7♦Q♣ which meant Affleck was eliminated, and Mamiya added yet more chips to her stack.

Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
A board of 10♠7♦3♠4♦J♦ was on the table and Sihao Zhang had shoved all in on the river. Blake Bohn was the man with the decision and after some time thinking, he called off his last 575,000 chips.
Zhang sheepishly turned over K♣Q♦ for just king-high, but Bohn had the winner with J♥7♥ after he rivered two pair.
"Don't do that to me, I thought we were buddies," said Bohn to Zhang after the hand.
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Chi Nguyen shoved all in from early position for around 245,000 and Nicolas Vayssieres called from the hijack. Xuming Qi was in the cutoff and shoved all in for over 300,000, and when it got back to Vayssieres, he called.
Chi Nguyen: A♥5♦
Xuming Qi: A♦A♠
Nicolas Vayssieres: J♣J♦
Qi had a perfect spot to almost triple his stack but was left with just one out after the 10♣J♠10♠ flop as Vayssieres hit a boat. No miracle one-outer arrived as neither the 8♥ turn nor 3♣ river offered any help to Qi, which meant he and Nguyen were eliminated.
Level 24

Evan Benton in middle position opened to 80,000, but Brian Barker three-bet to 260,000 from two seats over. All the other players folded to Benton, who moved all-in for 740,000. Barker eventually made the call.
Evan Benton: A♠K♠
Brian Barker: 10♠10♦
