Benjamin Williams: A♠5♥

John Ciccarelli raised to 100,000 in middle position and got called by the big blind Genady Mayzel. Both saw the flop fall 3♣9♠10♣.
After a check, Ciccarelli bet 90,000. Mayzel raised to 215,000 and got a re-raise all-in for around 550,000. Mayzel snap-called for a chance to eliminate Ciccarelli.
John Ciccarelli: J♣10♦
Genady Mayzel: 10♠10♥
Ciccarelli had top pair but that same card gave Mayzel a set of tens. The turn 4♦ and river 5♥ fell with no consequence. Ciccarelli confirmed his payout with the tournament director as Mayzel fixed the additional chips on his stack.

Edoc showed 5x5x while Ramos tabled Q♥10♥ for a rivered pair.
John Ciccarelli made all-in bets in three consecutive hands, but didn't get a dance partner with either. But in the process he moved from short stack at the table to over 20 big blinds.

Lester Edoc: J♥J♣
Andrew Murphy: A♥K♥
Edoc's jacks held on the flop 7♥9♥3♣. Murphy, however, had additional outs with a flush draw. But the 7♠ turn and 6♦ river didn't help him. Edoc scooped the pot to score a double.
Stefan Clemens opened to 125,000 and Alex James went all in for 780,000 two seats to his left. James flicked in the call.
Stefan Clemens: J♥J♣
Alex James: A♠10♠
