Joel Deutsch opened to 4,500 first to act and was three-bet to 15,000 by Joshua Faris in the hijack. It was then folded to Brian Rast, who shoved from the small blind for 86,000 total.
Deutsch and Faris quickly folded and Rast was sent the pot uncontested.
Corel Theuma raised to 4,500 in the hijack and Galen Hall moved all in for 24,500 on the button. Dan Smith called in the small blind, while Theuma got out of the way.
Both players drew one. Smith had 7x5x4x2x and drew a 10x to make a 10-7, while Hall was showing 8x7x6x4x but drew a 5x to make a straight as he headed to the rail.
John Monnette was in the cutoff with a raise of 13,500 in front of him before Dario Alioto moved all in from the big blind. Monnette called for 80,000.
Both players stood pat and Alioto turned over 9x8x7x5x4x. Monnette flashed a ten as he mucked and headed for the rail.
Jonathan Park raised to 4,500 in the cutoff and Matthew Schreiber three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Park called and took one, while Schreiber stood pat.
Schreiber then bet 13,000 and Park took a minute before calling. Schreiber quickly mucked and Park showed 10x9x6x3x2x to win the pot.
"Nice hand, Matt," tablemate Philip Sternheimer said to Schreiber.
"You've been waiting all night to say that," Schreiber countered.
Danny Tang was already all in for approximately 50,000 post-draw in the big blind with 10x9x8x6x2x in front of him against Cary Katz, who was on the button.
Katz had drawn one with the 8x6x5x3x in front of him. He turned over an Ax — leaving Tang best with his ten for the double up.
Stephen Moreschi and Greg Mueller went heads-up to the draw when Mueller bet 15,000 from the small blind. "If I hit my hand, I'm going to have to raise," Moreschi said as he drew one and peeled his last card.
"I'm giving you a lot of credit," Moreschi added as he called and turned over 8x6x5x3x2x. Mueller mucked and Moreschi took the pot.
"You showed me a seven earlier," he told Mueller after the hand.
Ben Lamb raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Nick Schulman defended his big blind.
Schulman drew two and Lamb drew one. Schulman then checked to Lamb, who announced a bet of 11,000.
Schulman didn't take long to put in a call and Lamb said, "I have a pair of tens" — prompting Schulman to table Qx8x7x6x3x.
Lamb sent his hand into the muck and Schulman padded his stack.
Galen Hall moved all in for 20,000 from under the gun and Corel Theuma put him at risk in the small blind.
Hall drew one and Theuma took two. Hall opened up 8x5x4x3x and caught a 9x on the draw to make a 9-8, while Theuma had 8x7x3x showing as he received his last two cards. He made a pair of sevens on the first one and tossed the other in the muck as Hall doubled up.
"Only 200,000 to go," Hall said as he took in the pot.
Alexander Wilkinson opened to 5,000 from middle position and was called by Brian Breck in the hijack. Dario Alioto then squeezed to 25,000 from the cutoff and both Wilkinson and Breck called for a bloated three-way pot.
All three players took one off and Wilkinson checked to Breck, who quickly went all in for 23,500. Alioto folded, but Wilkinson called.
Breck turned over Qx7x6x5x2x, which was no good against Wilkinson's 10x8x5x4x2x to be eliminated.
