Players folded all the way to Antonio Galiana in the small blind, who decided to only call. Joshua Wang in the big blind raised to 200,000. Galiana then decided to shove all in and Wang quickly called.
Joshua Wang: K♠8♠
Antonio Galiana: Q♦10♦
The flop was 10♠6♥A♦ and Galiana out-flopped Wang. Wang then turned a better pair on K♥. However, his tournament ended when the dealer revealed the Q♥ river, which gave Galiana two pair.
Chris Hunichen raised to 100,000 from under the gun, Raul Martinez three-bet to 325,000 from middle position. Patrick Leonard then went all in from the button for 815,000. Chris Hunichen called with a stack of 730,000. Martinez folded and the players tabled their hands.
Chris Hunichen :A♣K♠
Patrick Leonard :K♦K♥
The board ran out 10♥4♦9♦J♠10♦ ending Hunichen's impressive tournament run.
All the money went in preflop between Fabian Bernhauser in the cutoff and Connor Belcher in the small blind.
Fabian Bernhauser: A♣10♣
Connor Belcher: A♦K♦
Bernhauser was all in and behind. The board 4♣4♦Q♦9♥J♠ did not help him and he was sent him to the rail.
We are about to go to a three-table redraw.
More eliminations as we get closer to the three table redraw.
Brett Apter raised to 80,000 from middle position. Mark Newhouse then shoved all in from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Apter who made the call.
Mark Newhouse :A♣J♣
Brett Apter :J♠J♥
The board ran out K♦5♥6♣5♠9♥, eliminating Newhouse, who famously made the Main Event final table in back to back years.
Luka Bojovic moved all in on the button for his remaining 600,000.
Action folded to Raul Martinez, who asked for a count. The dealer confirmed the amount and Martinez called to put Bojovic at risk.
Luka Bojovic: Q♠10♥
Raul Martinez: 7♥7♦
The dealer fanned K♦A♣K♣ on the board, keeping Martinez in the lead. The K♥ improved Martinez’s hand to a full house, but Bojovic still had outs to the river.
It didn’t happen, though, as 9♥ appeared on the turn to give Martinez the knockout blow.
Action picked up in a hand between Fabian Bernhauser and Erwann Pecheux, and it had plenty of drama.
Bernhauser just bet 100,000 on a board showing Q♣Q♦10♠, and Pecheux, who was to Bernhauser’s immediate left, called.
The 10♦ showed up on the turn, and Bernhauser downsized his bet to 45,000. Pecheux took a few moments before making the call.
The situation picked up on the river, where the dealer fanned 2♥. Bernhauser led out with an 85,000 bet and it sent Pecheux deep in the tank.
How deep? Almost five minutes deep.
The clock was called on Pecheux and the tournament director instructed Pecheux to decide within the 30-second countdown or the hand would be ruled dead.
With less than five seconds to go, Pecheux made the call, only to see the bad news.
Bernhauser immediately tabled Q♥8♣ for queens full of tens, while Pecheux briefly showed K♥10♥ for tens full of queens, which was the inferior full house, before mucking his cards face down.
Bernhauser scooped a large pot and Pecheux was left on fumes with less than 100,000 in his stack.
Pecheux ultimately exited the tournament within minutes of losing to Bernhauser.
