Action was picked up with Karina Jett all in, and Marc Fischer facing a four-bet of 32,600 from Steven Buckner. Fischer made the call to see a flop.
The flop came 2♥3♥2♦ and Buckner announced all in for 50,600. Fischer was sitting in the tank for almost two minutes with Buckner telling him "Just lay it down and you'll be very happy you folded". Fischer did not listen to Buckner though, and he made the call to put Buckner at risk.
Karina Jett: A♥J♦
Steven Buckner: K♥K♦
Marc Fischer: K♠K♣
Buckner and Fischer both woke up with kings and were ahead of the ace-jack high of Jett. After the 5♥ turn and 7♣ river, Jett was not able to beat the kings of Buckner and Fischer and was eliminated from the tournament.
A situation arose at Anuschka Van Lent's table as a player raised to 14,000 in early position. Van Lent then announced raise and put in only 15,000. The floor was called over and it was ruled that Van Lent had to make it at least 23,000.
"I have to do it," her opponent said.
"I wouldn't if I were you," Van Lent replied.
The early-position player then tanked for a few minutes. "Alright, guys, it's been a good tournament," he told his tablemates before moving all in for 65,000.
Van Lent then tanked herself for a few minutes before she called.
All-In Player: K♠K♣
Anuschka Van Lent: A♥A♣
"I was afraid of that," the at-risk player said upon seeing Van Lent's aces. The board ran out 8♥9♣2♥7♣2♦ and Van Lent, an actress and social media influencer with more than 600,000 Instagram followers, took the pot and sent her opponent to the rail.
Patrick Leonard was standing up and at risk in a three-way preflop all in.
Xuejian Sun: K♦K♥
Patrick Leonard: A♠K♣
David Fhima: J♠J♣
David Fhima had the largest stack and could take out two players but Xuejian Sun was in best position to triple up with his kings. New member to the table, Daniel Negreanu filmed the action for his vlog as did Mayuko Morita as this was about to be a very well documented run out.
The flop came Q♦A♦5♠ to launch Leonard into the lead. The turn was the 5♣ and the river the 7♦ to give Leonard the big pot, bust Sun and take a big chunk away from Fhima.
Ben Miller raised to 2,200 from the hijack and Eoghan O'Dea called on the button. Mikiya Kudo also came along in the big blind and the three saw a flop of A♥J♦5♠.
Kudo checked to Miller, who bet 3,000 chips. O'Dea called before Kudo folded. The 7♣ turn then checked through, after which O'Dea bet 6,500 on the 3♠ river.
Miller quickly check-folded as O'Dea received some chips on a table where the majority of players was below the starting stack.
On another table, Biran Whiteman's Main Event run ended.
Following a raise to 2,500 and two callers, Muskan Sethi pushed all-in for her last 11,500 in the big blind. The initial raiser called but Brian Morgan then went all-in over the top to isolate successfully.
Muskan Sethi: A♠K♠
Brian Morgan: A♦A♣
"Don't think I can fold this time," Morgan had mentioned right before the cards were isolated and Sethi caught no miracle on the 9♦5♦4♣10♦8♥ runout to bow out in the second level of the day.
John Kabbaj opened to 2,300 from early position and was called by Faraz Jaka in the cutoff and the player in the big blind.
Action checked to Jaka on the J♦5♥A♦ flop and he bet 2,500. Only Kabbaj called.
The 5♠ fell on the turn and Kabbaj again checked to Jaka, who sized up for a bet of 6,000. This time Kabbaj let his hand go and Jaka added to his stack.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Kludt, Julien Martini, and Dominik Nitsche were all eliminated at other tables.
