No-Limit Hold'em
It was a short day at the office for Jesse Lonis.
Brian James opened to 80,000 and Lonis shoved almost 400,000 just behind. Jacob Mendelsohn then moved all in for more, and James quickly folded.
Jesse Lonis: J♥J♦ 
Jacob Mendelsohn: A♣A♦
Lonis had ran into the rockets and couldn't find a way to escape elimination as the 2♣7♥7♦2♥5♥ runout meant he was sent for an early shower.

Darryll Fish raised in the hijack to 75,000 and on the button, Billy Gurule moved all in for 190,000. In the big blind, Vincent Dale rejammed and Fish snap-folded.
Billy Gurule: K♦J♦
Vincent Dale: Q♦Q♥
The board ran out Q♠9♥3♦J♠3♥ and the queens full was good for Dale to take down the pot and eliminate Gurule from the tournament.

Pot-Limit Omaha
Rostyslav Sabishchenko opened from under the gun to 75,000 and Simon Potens shoved for 145,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Sabishchenko, he called.
Simon Potens: A♣K♠Q♥2♥
Rostyslav Sabishchenko: K♣Q♣7♥6♥
Potens flopped an ace on 4♦A♥9♠ and stayed in the lead throughout the 9♣3♦ runout, which earned him a double-up. Sabishchenko won't mind too much, though, as he got off to a good start and is up to around 2,000,000 after that hand.
