Mark Kawamoto raised under the gun with only Xia Wang making the call from the next seat.

Kawamoto continued with a bet of 100,000 on the 5♥K♣7♠ flop and was met by an immediate raise to 500,000 from Wang. Kawamoto did some inventory and then 3-bet jammed for 1,135,000. Wang quickly called.

Mark Kawamoto: K♠K♥ All in
Xia Wang: 5♦5♣

It was a cooler as both players had flopped a set. Wang needed to find the last remaining five in the deck to send Kawamoto home. The rest of the runout came 4♦Q♠ and Kawamoto earned a huge double-up.

Ronee Dizon moved all in for 150,000 from the cutoff. Christopher Zollo called on the button, and John Divecha called out of the small blind.

When the dealer spread out the flop of 2♠K♠8♦ Divecha shoved for around 350,000. Zollo snap-called.

Ronee Dizon: Q♠Q♦ All in
John Divecha: A♠9♠ All in
Christopher Zollo: K♥K♦

Zollo was ahead with a set of kings, and if he could fade a spade, or running queens on the rest of the runout, he would bust two players. The A♣ turn and J♣ river didn't improve Divecha or Dizon, and they were both out of the tournament.

Connor Richards: K♣K♥ All in
Ronee Dizon: 6♥6♣

Connor's kings held on the board of 2♥9♠9♥J♠4♠ securing him a much needed double up through Dizon.

Albert Wooten open-shoved under the gun and got called by Jeremy Geist to his left evoking a grunt of frustration.
