Adam Miller bet from the cutoff on a flop of 9♠4♦3♠ and Christopher Vitch called in the small blind, as did Edrick Yballa in early position.
All three players checked the K♥ turn. Yballa then bet on the A♦ river and only Vitch called.
Yballa showed A♣7♥6♣2♣ for a pair of aces and a low, and Vitch mucked.
Alfredo Aquino raised in early position and in the cutoff, Jon Kyte three-bet which saw action fold back to Aquino call.
The flop rolled out A♦6♦J♠ and Aquino checked over to Kyte who bet. Aquino responds by moving all in for 18,000 total and Kyte called.
Alfredo Aquino: A♣K♣5♠3♣ 
Jon Kyte: A♥Q♠10♠4♦
Aquino held up on the 9♦A♠ runout and he doubled at the expense of one of the early day chip leaders.
Heads-up on a flop of Q♥J♠4♠, Ryutaro Suzuki bet from under the gun and Richard Mirin called in the cutoff.
Suzuki bet again on the 10♠ turn and Mirin called. The J♦ river was then checked down and Mirin showed A♥K♣10♥5♣ for a straight. Suzuki flashed A♦4♣ as he mucked.
"Alright, let's play. Time to gamble," Michael Stones said as he limped in from early position. Four players came along to see the A♠4♣2♦ flop.
"Let's see how quickly that number goes down now," a tablemate said, pointing to the tournament clock.
"I'll be one of the statistics," Stones added. He then bet as action folded to Benjamin Miner on the button who put in a raise. Austin Marks was in the small blind and started using his phone before the rest of the table reminded him he still had to act.
"Physically he's in the hand. Mentally, he's not," Miner joked. Marks ended up folding and action went back on Stones, who revealed ace-deuce for two pair and mucked. Miner showed him a flopped wheel as he took the pot.
Nontajit Sawaddee was forced all-in for her final 3,000 from the small blind. Omar Mehmood raised from the cutoff and everyone else folded.
Nontajit Sawaddee: J♣5♦3♦2♦
Omar Mehmood: A♦Q♥J♥10♦
The K♦K♣8♣ flop offered no help to Sawaddee. The board ran out 9♠7♥ as Mehmood rivered a straight for the knockout and Sawaddee wished her opponents well as she exited on the stone bubble.
With 138 players remaining and 137 being in the money, play will continue hand-for-hand until another player is eliminated.
Matthew Alexander bet from early position on a flop of 6♥3♠2♥ and Clyde Gaskins called in middle position, as did Todd Hatch in the cutoff.
Alexander bet again on the 5♥ turn and both opponents called. The river was the J♠ and Alexander bet once more. Gaskins and Hatch again called.
Alexander showed A♣9♠4♥3♥ for a straight flush and a low to a round of "oohs" from the table. Hatch turned over A♦K♦Q♠4♠ to chop the low.
Jacob Nepom got the last of his short stack in from under the gun and action went four ways to the flop.
On the Q♠Q♦9♣ flop, Derek Raymond bet from early position and the others folded.
Jacob Nepom: J♥7♣5♦3♣
Derek Raymond: A♠K♦10♦5♠
The board ran out 2♠10♥ as Raymond's pair of tens were good enough to eliminate Nepom as the bubble is upon us.
