Mohammed Nuwwarah bet out 9,000 from early position into a pot of roughly 16,000 on the flop of 10♠9♥9♣ before Seyed Hejazi elected to raise to 18,000 from late position.
Nuwwarah came along for a call leading to the K♦ turn. Nuwwarah checked the turn which prompted Hejazi to fire for a pot size bet and comitting his whole stack in the process. Nuwwarah folded ending the hand.
The action was picked up on the flop of 6♥9♣4♠ as Josh Arieh bet 8,000 from the big blind and Bryan Alencar made the call. Chet Sickle raised to 43,000, Arieh folded and Alencar was all in for less.
Bryan Alencar: A♣J♥5♣3♥
Chet Sickle: 9♦9♥7♣8♦
Sickle flopped top set and looked to send Alencar packing. The chips were in the middle and Alencar needed a deuce or a seven to make a straight.
The 7♦ on the river was a saving grace for Alencar giving him a straight over Sickle's set of nines. Alencar doubled up to over 70,000.
Action began when Una Seo raised to 15,000 before Sven Rahmsdorf put in enough chips to force Seo all in for 30,500 total.
Una Seo: A♦A♥8♥10♦
Sven Rahmsdorf: K♦K♠Q♥6♠
Seo held the lead heading into the runout, but the flop of Q♣Q♦J♠ changed that as Rahmsdorf floped trip queens. The 7♠ turn and 10♥ river was not enough to flip the script eliminating Seo from the tournament.
Justin Jones moved all in from late position for 30,000 and the action folded to Daniele Nestola said "I'll give you action" and made the call.
Justin Jones: A♣5♣K♠A♥
Daniele Nestola: Q♣10♣8♥9♠
"I'll trade hands with you if you want" Jones commented before the board was revealed.
On a flop of 8♣J♣2♥ Jones said again, "You sure you don't wanna trade hands?" as Nestola flopped an gut-shot straight flush draw.
The turn brought a 7♥ giving Nestola a straight and the lead for the time being.
Luck prevailed for Jones as he evaded the possible straight flush with the 2♣ hitting the felt, giving Jones the nut flush over Nestola's queen-high flush. "I told you we could have switched hands" Jones commented as Nestola said "Nice Hand" while only risking a small portion of his stack.

Rhett Van Leeuwen fired 21,000 on the river of the board of 7♣A♥2♦J♣3♠.
Jian Fu went into the tank before flicking out a red chip for a call.
Van Leeuwen showed K♦K♥4♥5♣ for a straight while Fu folded without showing to award Van Leeuwen the chips.
George Tatalovich raised to 4,000 from the big blind and Casey Hatmaker called from the late position.
On a board of 6♣7♥K♠ both players checked.
The turn brought a 5♣ and Tatalovich moved all in for 11,000 and after a short tank Hatmaker made the call.
George Tatalovich: K♦Q♥5♠2♣
Casey Hatmaker: J♠10♦8♠5♦
Tatalovich had two pair and Hatmaker had a double-gutter wrap to a straight.
The river brought a 8♣ giving Hatmaker a lower two pair but Tatalovich's kings and fives were good to double up.
Alan Engel began the hand with a limped under the gun for 2,000. Tommy Scott, Paul Parsons, and John Drew came along with a limp before Gary Booth checked his option from the big blind.
The table checked to John Drew on the flop of 3♣9♥3♠ who bet 2,000. Booth folded leading to calls from Engel, Scott, and Parsons.
The 7♥ turn led to checks from Engel and Scott. Parsons opted to bet 8,000 on the turn before getting a call from Drew. Engel and Scott got out of the way leaving only Parsons and Drew in the pot heading to the river.
Parsons bet 35,000 on the 5♥ river to comitt Drew for all his stack. Drew called leading to a showdown.
John Drew: 9♣9♦A♠6♦
Paul Parsons: 6♣6♥3♦3♥
Parsons showed Drew the bad news when he revealed he flopped quads to send Drew out.
