On the side feature table, Joe Cada moved all in for 11,100 from early position and was at risk to Eliran Pilo, who was on the button.
Joe Cada: 4♦4♣
Eliran Pilo: K♥K♠
The A♦K♦5♣ flop saw Pilo make a set to leave Cada drawing thin. The 8♦ turn gave Cada some hope with a flush draw but the 2♠ river was a brick and Cada exited on Day 2d.
Irene Carey and Alen Bakovic pointed out the details of a recent elimination, which happened to be none other than Huck Seed. According to both, Seed four-bet jammed for 52,000 with the 7♠6♠ and was called by Tanner Rose with the AxKx.
Seed picked up outs with the 8♠8♣4♣ flop and Q♠ turn but the Q♥ river ended his run in just five hands.
Heads-up on a flop of 6♣4♦9♦, Rassoul Malboubi bet 5,000 from the small blind before an opponent under the gun moved all in for 22,000. Malboubi called to put him at risk.
All-In Player: A♦Q♦
Rassoul Malboubi: K♠9♠
Malboubi was ahead with top pair, while his opponent had a flush draw to go with his overcards. The 5♥ turn was safe for Malboubi, while the 10♠ river secured him the pot and sent his opponent to the rail.
Around 30,000 was in the pot as Elliot Smith and an opponent saw the turn on a board of 4♦2♥6♠7♠.
The cutoff then bet 20,000 before Smith, in early position, moved all in for 75,000. His opponent went deep into the tank, taking several minutes to consider the decision.
Smith spent the time kneeling on the ground as his opponent continued to tank. The cutoff eventually apologized to the table and slid his cards back to the dealer as Smith took down the pot.
Chris Hunichen and Daniel Lowery were recently eliminated from this section.
In a five-way pot, action on the 9♣6♣4♠ flop was checked through before Rahul Deevara bet 4,300 from the cutoff on the 3♥ turn.
Abdullah Al-Shanti then raised to 11,000 on the button as the table folded fold to Deevara, who moved all in for 38,000. Al-Shanti called with 7♣5♠ for a turned straight, while Deevara had 6♠6♥ for a set.
Deevara needed to fill up on the river to survive, and the dealer flipped over the 3♣ to complete his full house and earn Deevara a double up.
"The Indian poker wizard," Deevara said.
Logan Hoover raised to 2,200 and earned three callers including Ethan Yau in the small blind. The flop brought 9♥6♣4♦ and the action checked to Hoover, who bet 1,800. It folded back to Yau who went for a check-raise to 7,000 and Hoover came along for the ride.
Yau then led the K♥ turn for 14,000 but Hoover came back with a raise to 35,000 for Yau to call.
The 3♥ river was checked by Yau and Hoover tossed in a green T-25,000 chip for a final stab at the pot. Yau called and no showdown followed, as Hoover sent his cards into the muck.
Having started the day with a shorter stack, Yau has more than quadrupled the amount since.
Melanie Weisner had already raised from the cutoff and was three-bet to 7,000 by Nhan Nguyen on the button. Action folded back to Weisner, who made it 18,000 to go. Nguyen called.
Weisner shoved for 42,000 on the 10♥Q♣9♣ flop and Nguyen called to put Weisner at risk after tanking for a bit.
Melanie Weisner: K♦K♥
Nhan Nguyen: J♥J♠
Weisner was ahead, but still had plenty of outs to fade. The Q♥7♣ runout bricked out for Nguyen, however, and Weisner was awarded the double up with her kings.
Dominic Rickard moved all in for 15,500 from under the gun and an opponent in the hijack called. Alexandre Pruneau then reshoved for 36,700 in the small blind and the hijack tanked for a minute before calling once more, having both opponents covered and at risk.
Dominic Rickard: 8♦8♣
Alexandre Pruneau: K♣K♠
Opponent: A♦Q♠
Pruneau was ahead with his pair of kings as the board ran out J♥9♠6♠9♣5♣. Rickard found no help and was eliminated, while Pruneau secured the double up and knockout.
David Peters and an opponent saw the turn on a board of 4♠4♣5♠K♦ where Peters bet 4,500 from the hijack. His opponent called in the cutoff.
The river was the 8♦ and Peters bet 21,500. The cutoff quickly called once more and Peters turned over 6♦4♦ for trip fours to win the pot.
Heads-up on a flop of 5♥Q♠K♠, Dmytro Bystrovzorov bet 3,000 from the button before Ran Kadur raised to 9,000 in early position. Bystrovzorov called and the 8♥ fell on the turn.
Both players checked to the K♣ river where Kadur fired out 6,000. Bystrovzorov called and Kadur angrily threw his cards across the table and into the muck, allowing Bystrovzorov to take the pot without a showdown.
