Benjamin Yu made it 140,000 from early position, with around 40,000 behind. Matthew Bretzfield then three-bet to 375,000 from the hijack, before Samuel Taylor shoved in the big blind with a huge stack. Yu called off, and Bretzfield also put in his stack of around 800,000, which created a three-way all-in pot.
Benjamin Yu: Q♥Q♦10♠6♦
Matthew Bretzfield: A♦K♥10♥9♣
Samuel Taylor: A♥A♣Q♣7♠
Taylor had a shot at eliminating two players, and took a huge leap toward doing so when the 3♠A♠7♣ flop hit the felt.
"Nobody runs better than you, buddy,", said Bretzfield once the flop was revealed. The 7♥6♠ runout left Taylor with top boat, and both Yu and Bretzfield hit the rail.
No-Limit Hold'em
Marc Wenicker made it 105,000 to go from middle position and Andreas Frohli shoved around 850,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Wenicker, he snap-called for slightly more.
Andreas Frohli: 7♣7♠
Marc Wenicker: K♣K♠
Frohli was in bad shape and even his suits were covered, eliminating any possibility of him winning with a flush. The runout of Q♥J♦J♥8♥6♥ didn't offer anything in the way of assistance, and once the stacks were counted down, Frohli was eliminated.
Pot-Limit Omaha
Bo Oh moved all in for 105,000 from middle position which saw Valentin Vornicu in late position, Dylan Mendes in the hijack, and Eric Salazar in the big blind.
The flop rolled out K♣3♠7♥ and Salazar checked over to Vornicu who bet 100,000 which both Mendes and Salazar folded to.
Bo Oh: Q♥6♣5♣3♦
Valentin Vornicu: A♦Q♠7♦4♠
Vornicu's pair of sevens held up on the runout of 8♠10♣ to eliminate Oh from the tournament and add more to Vornicu's stack.
Pot-Limit Omaha
Jereld Sam opened to 140,000 from middle position and Guan Wang potted it from the cutoff. When it got back to Sam, he called off for his stack of just over 300,000.
Jereld Sam: A♥10♠9♠6♥
Guan Wang: A♣K♦10♣2♦
Sam was dominated and couldn't overcome the superior hand of Wang on the A♦Q♥3♣4♣5♥ runout, who ended with a wheel.
Level: 24
Blinds: 20,000/40,000

On a flop of 3♣Q♠10♦, Iman Dan committed his stack of around 300,000 from the cutoff and was put at risk by Jonathan Dull on the button.
Iman Dan: K♥J♠9♥6♠
Jonathan Dull: A♣K♣Q♦5♦
Dull had the best of it, but had to fade a lot of outs as Dan had a wrap. The 10♥ on the turn changed nothing, but the 9♠ river completed Dan's straight, which left Dull with just ten big blinds.
