John Smith on the button called the 30,000 blind, before Weston Mizumoto raised to 90,000 in the big blind. Smith elected to call and see a flop.
The flop came 10♠3♠5♥, which Mizumoto decided to check. Smith then bet 75,000, before Mizumoto raised all-in for Smith's remaining 220,00 chips. Smith announced call and was at risk.
John Smith J♣10♦ 
Weston Mizumoto 5♠4♠
It was John Smith's top pair ahead of Mizumoto's pair and flush draw. The 9♥ was a safe turn for Smith, and the 3♥ on the river secured the double up for Smith and allowed him to retake the chip lead.

James Gorham open jammed his remaining 474,000 chips and was snap called by Nikolai Mamut in the big blind, putting Gorham at risk.
James Gorham A♥8♠
Nikolai Mamut A♣J♠
Gorham needed help to stay alive in this heads-up event, and the flop that came 6♣9♦4♠ did not give him any additional outs. The K♣ on the turn meant that only an eight would keep him in the tournament. The 9♣ on the river secured Mamut the victory, and he will advance to play Maro Grujic in the Quarterfinals later today.

Darius Samual shoved on the button and Matthew Wantman quickly called all in for his last 150,000 after taking a peek at his hole cards.
Matthew Wantman: 10♣9♣
Darius Samual: K♠7♠
Wantman would need some help, but the K♥10♦2♦Q♠A♥ runout wasn’t enough — eliminating Wantman and earning Samual a ticket into the Elite Eight.
