Ben Heath raised it up from under the gun and the action folded to Landon Tice in the big blind who just announced all in. Heath wasted no time before calling off his stack of 1,925,000 and the cards were tabled.
Ben Heath: A♥A♦
Landon Tice: 6♥6♣
The board ran out 8♣4♦2♠8♦10♥ and Tice was forced to pass over a large chunk of his stack to Heath.
The action folded to Brian Rast in the small blind who just limped in. Andrew Pacheco checked his option and the flop of 10♥7♦6♦ was spread across the felt. Both players checked and the 2♦ landed on the turn.
Rast led out with a bet of 60,000 and Pacheco called to see the 5♠ on the river. Rast sized up a bet of 240,000 this time which forced Pacheco to use a time bank before calling. Rast tabled Q♥8♥ for a missed straight draw while Pacheco held 10♠2♠ for two pair.
David Chen opened to 120,000 from middle position and Barak Wisbrod called from the button.
The Q♦8♦5♦ flop checked through to the 8♥ turn. Chen check-folded to a bet of 200,000.
Chris Hunichen opened to 120,000 from the hijack and Matthias Eibinger shoved all in for 1,200,000 in the big blind. Hunichen snapped him off and the cards were on their backs.
Matthias Eibinger: A♥J♥
Chris Hunichen: Q♥Q♣
The flop fell 9♥7♣2♠ and Hunichen still held a comfortable lead with his pocket queens. The 6♦ and 7♥ runout changed nothing, leaving Eibinger on the outside looking in.
Stephen Chidwick raised from under the gun to 120,000 and met resistance in the form of Vinny Lingham from the big blind, who three-bet to 275,000. Chidwick called, and they headed to a flop.
Lingham continued for 250,000 on the J♣8♣3♥ flop, to which Chidwick responded by moving all in for 720,000. Lingham wasted no time in calling and immediately received the bad news.
Stephen Chidwick: A♠J♦
Vinny Lingham: 10♠10♦
Chidwick had flopped top pair, and Lingham needed help if he was to drag in this pot.
Alas, no help arrived on the 8♦ turn or the 6♥ river, and Chidwick got the full double-up.
Phil Ivey raised to 120,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Stephen Chidwick in the big blind, who raised to 460,000. Ivey went all in, covering Chidwick, who called.
Stephen Chidwick: A♥K♣
Phil Ivey: J♦J♠
The runout of 10♦9♦4♥3♣Q♣ gave Chidwick no help and he was eliminated from the tournament, while Ivey chipped up close to 4,500,000 chips.
David Peters opened to 120,000 from under the gun and called when Seth Davies three-bet to 330,000 on his direct left.
The Q♥9♦8♣ checked through to the 3♥ turn. Peters bet 275,000 and was called. The 2♥ river checked through to showdown.
Peters tabled 10♠10♣ but was bested by Davies' A♠Q♣.
Phil Ivey raised from the hijack to 120,000, and only Ben Heath called, defending his big blind.
