Juha Helppi raised to 1,300 from late position and another player called in the hijack. In the cutoff, Marc Wolpert three-bet to 4,500 which Helppi four-bet to 15,000, folding out the hijack. Wolpert moved all in for 26,000 effective and Helppi called.
Juha Helppi: A♣K♣ 
Marc Wolpert: Q♦Q♣
The board ran out A♠Q♠4♥3♦9♣ and the queens flopped a set to keep Wolpert in the lead, leaving the WSOP bracelet winner to exit the tournament.
Colten Yamagishi raised to 1,00 from under the gun and the button raised to 5,000. He made the call.
The flop came Q♥6♠7♦, and Yamagishi was quick to check. The button continued for 4,000, and Yamagishi made the call.
While the turn peeled 4♠, Yamagishi again checked. His opponent fired for 10,000, and Yamagishi moved all in for 41,000. The button made the call, and both players revealed their hands.
Button: A♠Q♦
Colten Yamagishi: Q♠Q♣

Meir Meystel jammed for 6,400 from under the gun and he was called by the cutoff.
Meir Meystel: 9♦9♠
Cutoff: A♦Q♦
Meystel lost the flip on Q♣K♥8♦4♠2♣ and left the tournament area.
Under the gun opened the action with a raise to 1,200. Six opponents wanted to see a flop, including Brian Stonoff in the small blind.
The dealer put out a A♠10♦J♦ flop and action checked to early position who fired 2,500. Middle position and Stonoff both called.
Stonoff led for 5,000 on the 3♦ turn, and only middle position called.
The 7♠ river hit the felt, and Stonoff bet 12,500, forcing his opponent all in, and he made the call. Stonoff flipped over 7♦5♦ for a seven-high flush, and his opponent showed K♣Q♣ before leaving his seat.
Michael Moncek raised to 900 from middle position, and Aristide Carozza in the cutoff made the call. Then the small blind Chris Dandrea three-bet to 3,300. After it folded back to Moncek, he four-bet all in for 19,100. Carozza folded, and after confirming the count Dandrea made the call.
Michael Moncek: A♦7♦
Chris Dandrea: A♠K♥
Moncek was dominated by the ace-king of Dandrea, and the 9♣Q♠3♦ flop was no help to Moncek. The 10♦ on the turn did bring Moncek more outs with a flush draw. But when the 9♠ hit the river, Dandrea's ace-king high was still best, and Moncek was eliminated from the tournament.
Dennis Kraus limped in from early position before a player in middle position raised to 1,800. Action folded back around to Kraus who moved all in for his opponent's last 21,300. She went into the tank but eventually made the call.
Middle Position: A♥8♥
Dennis Kraus: K♠K♣
Needing to fade an ace, Kraus was able to after the dealer put out 3♠4♠4♣Q♠5♠ and Kraus stacked his opponent while chipping up back above starting stack.
Last year's WSOP Millionaire Maker runner-up Florian Ribouchon defended from the big blind after Nana Sanechika opened to 1,000 from middle position.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♣2♣10♥ and both players checked. But on the 6♣ turn, Ribouchon bet 800. Sanechika raised to 2,500, then called for her last 17,000 after Ribouchon moved all-in.
Nana Sanechika: J♠10♦
Florian Ribouchon: K♣Q♣
Sanechika called with two pair but ran into Ribouchon's flush, so she was eliminated after the 2♥ river.
Early position opened the action with a raise to 800. Mauro Ferreira three-bet to 2,000 from the cutoff before the small blind moved all in for 26,800. The player in early position folded and Ferreira took a minute but ultimately flicked in a chip for a call.
Small Blind: A♥K♠
Mauro Ferreira: J♦J♣
A classic race with over 60,000 chips in the middle, the board ran out 3♦9♣8♠6♠3♥ earning Ferreira the pot and newfound chips.
