The flop rolled out 8♣6♠5♠ and Viega moved all in for 32,000 and Moulder called. Foxen raised the pot and Moulder quickly folded.
Diogo Viega: 5♣5♦4♠4♣ 
Alex Foxen: A♥8♥8♠4♦
The board ran out J♥K♦ for the set of eights to hold up for Foxen and Viega was eliminated from the tournament.

Jared Koppel had gone all in for his final few blinds from the hijack and was called by Guofeng Wang on the button and a third player in the big blind.
They created a small side pot until the 9♣6♦8♠2♥4♦ river was checked down.
Wang won the side pot with K♥K♣J♥3x against the third player's A♠K♠J♠8♥, while his kings were also good for the main pot as Koppel played A♣Q♣J♦Xx.
Scott Ball raised up to 12,000 which saw Ronald Keijzer call in the big blind.
The flop rolled out A♠Q♥4♥ and Keijzer check-called a bet of 17,000 from Ball.
On the turn J♠, Keijzer checked over to Ball who potted and Keijzer repotted to put Ball all in and Ball called for his last 410,000.
Scott Ball: A♦Q♠J♥10♥
Ronald Keijzer: K♠10♠9♣8♦
The river 5♦ changed nothing for Keijzer and his Broadway straight was good for the pot.
On a heads-up flop of 5♣10♠Q♥, Zachary Reinbold led for 35,000 and was called by Ryan Hughes to see the turn peel the 8♥.
Reinbold checked, Hughes bet 90,000, but then Reinbold check-raised to 400,000. Hughes went into the tank for a good while before he decided to let it go and Reinbold was pushed the pot.
Picking up the action on a turn of 8♥9♠8♠6♣, Diogo Veiga in the hijack made a bet of 85,000 chips into a pot of roughly 120,000 chips. Alex Foxen made the call on the button to see the 10♣ river.
Veiga piled in another 210,000 and was looked up by Foxen. Veiga tabled K♥J♠J♥6♠ for jacks and eights, which was no good against the A♥A♦10♠7♦ of Foxen, who had a straight to the ten.
Uri Reichenstein raised his button to 15,000 and was called by Ari Engel in the big blind.
On the 10♣2♥3♥ flop, Engel check-called a bet of 13,000 from Reichentein and he did the same when Reichtenstein bet 25,000 on the 3♠ turn.
The K♠ river was then checked down, after which Engel showed J♦10♦7♦6♣ for tens and threes. Reichenstein's A♠A♣10♥9♣ won the pot with aces and threes, however, seeing him surpass Engel in the counts.
