Ben Nir got his final 21,000 chips in from the big blind and was looked up by Roman Sienkiewicz in the small blind.
Ben Nir: K♥K♣
Roman Sienkiewicz: A♥K♦
All seemed good for Nir on the J♦4♠J♥7♥ runout until the A♦ river hit the felt. He slammed the table as he handed his final chips to his neighbor and left the tournament area.
Yucel Eminoglu, who finished runner-up in a bracelet event earlier this series, is hanging around with a short stack. He was all-in not long ago with A♦Q♠ versus A♥10♠ and came out on top of a J♣10♦8♥4♣K♣ board and remained in contention. Eminoglu then joked "guess you have to hear more stories from me then."
Another player at the table remarked, "the madness continues."
Jamie Tipping opened to 2,500 from middle position and was three-bet to 7,000 by Todd Witteles in the cutoff. Action folded back to Tipping, who called.
Tipping check-folded facing a 6,000 bet from Witteles on the 3♥4♠Q♦ flop and Witteles, known for hosting the Poker Fraud Alert podcast, added to his stack.
Arriving on a completed board of J♦8♦A♣8♠6♠, Travis Pearson checked his big blind to Till Kollender in the cutoff. Kollender then fired 21,000 chips into a pot of 35,000.
Pearson flicked in a calling chip and was shown Q♦8♥ for trip eights. Pearson added his cards to the muck and paid Kollender what he owed.
After it folded to Koray Aldemir in middle position, he raised to 2,000. It folded to the player in the big blind, and he made the call.
The flop came K♣9♣K♠ and the big blind check-called a bet of 1,100 from Aldemir.
After the 2♥ on the turn, the big blind again check-called a bet of 5,000 this time from Aldemir.
The river was 8♣ and after the big blind checked once more, Aldemir bet out 16,000. The big blind took some time thinking over his decision, before making the call.
Aldemir tabled 2♦2♣ for a turned full house, as his opponent mucked their hand and gave the pot to Aldemir.
Andrew Mizak opened 2,500 in early position and Victor Dai called in the cutoff before Aleksandr Gofman moved all in for 16,600 on the button. Mizak got out of the way, but Dai made the call.
Aleksandr Gofman: K♠Q♥
Victor Dai: 10♥10♣
The Q♦10♠5♥ flop gave Gofman top pair but unfortunately for him, Dai flopped a set. The 9♦ turn gave some hope with a gutshot straight draw but the 2♦ river was a brick as Gofman stood up from the table.
