Tyler Phillips bet 8,000 from the big blind on a flop of 7♦4♣Q♦ and Benny Glaser called in the small blind.
The turn was the 10♥ and Glaser led out for 46,000. Phillips then moved all in and Glaser called for 50,000 more.
Glaser had A♠Q♥10♦9♥3♣ for two pair, while Phillips had A♦A♣J♦6♦2♦. The 8♦ river gave Phillips a flush and Glaser was eliminated.
Jon Kyte was all-in for his remaining 45,000 chips on a flop of 8♦5♣Q♦, with PJ Cha calling to try and eliminate him.
Jon Kyte: A♦A♥Q♠10♥3♦ 
PJ Cha: A♠A♣J♥4♥4♣
Both players had aces, but Kyte had a lot of outs working for him to win the whole pot. The 7♦ turn and 10♣ river meant Kyte scooped with a flush and the better low.
Yevgeniy Timoshenko raised to 10,000 on the button, Seamus Cahill three-bet to 35,000 in the small blind, and Timoshenko called.
The flop came 8♣9♥6♣ and Cahill moved all in for 36,000. Timoshenko looked back at his cards and shrugged before calling to put Cahill at risk.
Seamus Cahill: A♠A♣K♠6♠5♥
Yevgeniy Timoshenko: A♦Q♥J♦5♦4♣
Cahill was ahead with his aces, but the 10♣ turn improved Timoshenko to a straight. The river was the 10♥ and Timoshenko scored the knockout.
Catching the action with the flop showing 10♥4♣6♠. Dylan Wilkerson got his last 45,000 into the middle with OIais Ahmed being the player trying to bust him.
Dylan Wilkerson: A♥9♠3♠2♥2♠
Owais Ahmed: A♦A♣Q♦7♦6♦
The rest of the board ran out 5♥Q♠, which meant Wilkerson scooped holding a straight with the nut low.
Alex Livingston moved all in for 132,000 from the button on a flop of 9♦2♠J♠. Taylor Atchison called in the small blind, sending the action to Aaron Kupin in the hijack.
Kupin went deep into the tank, taking several minutes to consider the decision. Atchison spent the time asking table neighbor Phil Hellmuth to pose for a selfie with him. "Oh boy. I think I'm getting the exact right price," Kupin said as he eventually called for his last 130,000.
Aaron Kupin: A♦Q♦10♥8♦2♣
Alex Livingston: A♣J♥9♠7♣4♠
Taylor Atchison: A♠K♠6♠5♥4♣
Livingston was ahead with top two pair, while Kupin had a straight draw. The rest of the board ran out A♥4♥ and Livingston improved to aces and jacks, while Atchison made a low to chop the pot and send Kupin to the rail.
Igor Zektser limped from the cutoff and Gary Friedman raised the 16,000 out of the smal blind with just 1,000 behind. John Hennigan called from the big blind, but Zekster limp-raised to 64,000. Friedman put in his last 1,000, and Hennigan made the call also.
Once Hennigan saw the flop come down 8♦8♠A♠, he jammed for his last 35,000. Zekster instantly called and the cards were revealed.
Gary Friedman: Q♠4♦3♣3♠2♦
John Hennigan: A♦6♣4♥3♦2x
Igor Zektser: A♥A♣K♣5♥2♥
Zekster had flopped aces full and would eliminate two players if he could fade the low draw coming in. The remainder of the board ran out Q♦9♥ and Zekster won the pot, busting both Hennigan and Friedman.
Zachary Hirst three-bet to 22,000 in the cutoff and Anthony Zinno called under the gun, as did Jonathan Bowers in the hijack.
The flop came 9♦5♣A♦ and Zinno potted. Bowers folded, while Hirst called for his last 30,000.
Zachary Hirst: A♠9♠6♦4♦2♠
Anthony Zinno: A♥K♣5♥3♥2♦
Hirst was ahead with aces and nines against Zinno's aces and fives, but Zinno caught the 5♠ on the turn to make a full house. The river was the K♠ and Hirst was sent to the rail.
