The action was picked up on the flop after Jorge Alba put his final bets in from the big blind against Eric Baldwin in the small blind and Adam Nattress in the hijack.
The board read 3♣8♦J♦, and the turn peeled off a Q♦, which saw Baldwin check-fold to Nattress' bet.
Jorge Alba: 6♥3♠2♦2♥
Adam Nattress: A♥K♦6♠4♦
The river 9♣ did not give a low to Alba, and Nattress scooped the pot to eliminate Alba from the tournament.
Ashton Griffin opened from middle position and action folded to Chris Roth who three-bet on the button. More action folded back to Griffin who called all-in.
Ashton Griffin: K♥Q♠J♥10♠
Chris Roth: A♦K♦J♥6♣
The board ran out 4♠7♣9♦3♦6♠ to give Chris Roth the high and the low. Ashton Griffin was knocked out of the tournament.
Action folded around to Curtis Phelps in the cutoff who raised. Ali Zargari called in the small blind. Upeshka De Silva raised in the big blind. Both Phelps and Zargari called.
The flop came 3♥10♣5♥ and action checked to Phelps who bet. Both Zargari and De Silva called, putting De Silva all-in.
Both Zargari and Phelps checked the turn Q♠
On the river A♠ Zargari bet and Phelps called.
Zargari showed 4♦3♦2♠2♣ for the wheel to scoop the pot and eliminate De Silva in 25th place.
Action was recapped by the other table as shortly after De Silva was eliminated, Ben Landowski was seen leaving the tournament area.
On a board reading JxQx4x8x, Landowski got in all of his chips from the small blind into the middle against Mathew Rego from the cutoff who called to put him at risk.
Ben Landowski: AxJx9x2x
Mathew Rego: AxAx8x5x
The river Kx did not complete Landowski's low draw or gutshot and he was eliminated from the tournament just prior to the final three table redraw.
Daniel Coen was forced all in from the big blind and Dustin Sitar raised from late position which folded out all other players.
Daniel Coen: A♠K♣J♠2♠
Dustin Sitar: A♦Q♠6♠5♥
The board ran out 2♥Q♦9♠J♣Q♣ and the three queens on the river were good for Sitar to take down the pot while Coen exited the tournament area while the night came to a close.
