David Bagheri got it all in preflop from early position, and found himself up against Vladislav Donchev on his direct left, and big blind Gregory Goldberg.
David Bagheri: 2♣2♠
Vladislav Donchev: A♠10♣
Gregory Goldberg: A♦Q♦
A deuce in the window of the 2♥7♣3♥ flop meant that only a running wheel could send him home. The 7♥ turn secured his triple, with the 10♠ river a brutal one for Goldberg, meaning he'd be having to pay out two times, and nobody would be eliminated.
James Jeffrey was all in and at risk from the big blind for roughly 150,000 and was up against Pei Li in middle position.
James Jeffrey: K♥K♦
Pei Li: A♠2♣
The board ran out 4♠J♣K♠9♣6♥, adding a nice boost to Jeffrey's stack.
Chris Moorman in middle position raised to 160,000. Rene von Reden in the cutoff three-bet all-in for 195,000 and Moorman called with the single yellow chip worth 1,000 he had left.
Chris Moorman: K♣J♦
Rene von Reden: A♣Q♦
The board kept Von Reden ahead, leading to Moorman's elimination.
Arkadi Bruchis went all in under the gun for 110,000. It folded to Aliaksandr Shylko in the hijack, who opted to go all-in himself for 234,000.
Arkadi Bruchis: Q♥J♥
Aliaksandr Shylko: 10♠10♣
It was a close race between Bruchis and Shylko, but the flop pulled Bruchis ahead as it came 5♦2♦Q♦ to give Bruchis top pair.
The 9♦ presented some chop outs, but the Q♠ river improved Bruchis to trips to score the double.
The action was picked up on a flop of J♠4♣7♠ after Brett Shaffer in the cutoff called a raise to 235,000 preflop by Ashish Anilkumar in the blinds.
Anilkumar checked, Shaffer bet and Anilkumar called off his last 8,000.
Ashish Anilkumar: K♠Q♠
Brett Shaffer: A♥9♣
Anilkumar didn't improve on the 4♠4♥ runout and he was eliminated.
Timothy Vu raised to 32,000 from under the gun, and action folded to Ronald Jackson in late position, who moved all-in for 36,000. Phil Gross made the call from the button, and Vu tossed in the extra 4,000
The flop came K♠J♥5♦, and Vu continued for 16,000, which Gross called. Both players checked the 4♥ turn and saw the 9♥ fall on the river. Vu checked, and Gross fired out for 32,000. Vu made the call and tabled K♣10♣ for top pair, which had Gross' 6x7x crushed and sent Jackson to the rail with his A♣Q♥ going into the muck.
Dakota Patsfield moved all in with his last 120,000 chips from under the gun. Chip leader Lukas Hafner called on the button.
Dakota Patsfield: J♣9♣
Lukas Hafner: A♦K♦
Patsfield got no help from the runout of 7♠3♠7♥8♠5♥ and was knocked out of the event.
Rod Fani and Zhaken Seitbekov got it all in before any community cards were dealt, with Fani button-shoving over Zhaken Seitbekov under the gun raise. Seitbekov had the chip advantage, but was behind as far as percentages were concerned.
Rod Fani: A♠K♣
Zhaken Seitbekov: A♣10♠
Percentages flipped instantly in Seitbekov's favor, as the 10♦J♣8♥ flop fired him into the lead. Fani called for a queen, but wouldn't be successful as the 3♠4♣ runout sealed the deal.
Level: 21
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
