Alexander Duvall raised from middle position to 60,000 and Chijen Chu flat-called from late position. Justin Fawcett then moved all-in from the cutoff for less than Duvall. Chu folded instantly.
Justin Fawcett: A♥K♦
Alexander Duvall: K♣K♠
The 10♦3♣6♣ flop gave no help to Fawcett but the J♥ on the turn did give him some extra outs. None of them came however, with the 4♦ on the river, and Fawcett was sent packing.
Level: 24
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 40,000
Pei Li shoved on the small blind, covering Christian Wyss in the big, who made the call.
Christian Wyss: K♠J♣
Pei Li: J♥6♥
The 3♥5♥J♠ flop brought a huge sweat, and the 9♥ turn confirmed Wyss' elimination. The 7♠ river was inconsequential.
Junqiang Lyu opted to jam for his final 155,000 from under the gun. Paulina Loeliger called from the next seat over to put Lyu at risk.
Junqiang Lyu: 9♥6♣
Paulina Loeliger: A♥J♠
Loeliger held the lead, and it stayed the status quo when the flop came K♥Q♣3♦.
The 3♥ was a blank, but the river altered the fate of Lyu as it came the 9♠ to award Lyu the double.
Sean Troha moved all in from the button for 175,000 and he faced Ohad Geiger under the gun.
Sean Troha: K♣K♦
Ohad Geiger: A♠J♦
Geiger asked for an ace, but Troha's kings held on 2♥10♥5♣5♦Q♠ and he secured a double-up.
Samuel Litman jammed from the cutoff. Konstantin Held called to put Litman at risk.
Samuel Litman: K♥10♥
Konstantin Held: A♦Q♠
Litman fell further behind on the J♣A♠J♦ flop. The 9♦ did not improve his chances, and the 5♥ peeled on the river to eliminate Litman from the tournament.
Vladas Tamasauskas raised to 130,000 from the cutoff, only for James Jeffrey to three-bet all in from the button. Action came back around to Tamasauskas quickly, and he tossed in the call.
Vladas Tamasauskas: A♦Q♥
James Jeffrey: Q♣K♣
A clean runout for Tamasauskas of 5♥J♣4♥4♦6♦, and he started stacking the chips from his full double-up and more.
Vladas Tamasauskas opened the action with a small shove from early position. Nadav Bitton isolated from late position, and everyone else folded, leaving Tamasauskas in terrible shape.
Vladas Tamasauskas: 8♣4♣
Nadav Bitton: K♣K♠
Tamasauskas saw some life through a four in the window, and the full 5♠4♦4♥ flop had him in prime position to double. The J♦5♣ had Bitton making a small dent in his huge stack.
"Did you like that flop?" a player at the table asked.
"It was alright," replied Tamasauskas.
