Chad Holloway limped in from the button, as did Yotam Shmuelov in the small blind and Blake Bohn in the big blind.
The dealer spread a 4♥2♠7♦ flop. Shmuelov led out for 4,000, Bohn folded, and Holloway called.
The turn brought the A♣. Shmuelov checked, Holloway bet 8,000, and Shmuelov called.
Both players checked the Q♥ river. Shmuelov tabled 7♣2♣, which was good for the win.
In a heads-up raised pot, the flop showed 5♣4♦8♦ when Igor Picone check-called, from the small blind, Dimitrios Gkatzas' continuation-bet for 11,500.
Both checked on the 6♥ turn and on the 2♠ river. Picone turned over A♣10♣ and the pot was sent to Gkatzas, who tabled Q♠Q♦.
Jeremy Wien limped in early position and it folded to Sheldon Hayashi in the small blind who raised. Wien three-bet to 13,500 and after a minute, Hayashi made the call.
The flop showed 8♠9♥3♠ and Hayashi didn't take long to check-fold after Wien continued for 13,500. Wien tabled K♦K♠ before grabbing the pot.
Marlon Rupe put his last 50,000 chips at risk. Bhavesh Patel took some time before deciding to make the call.
Marlon Rupe: 9♣9♥
Bhavesh Patel: A♠10♣
The runout of K♠8♥7♠9♠2♠ looked fine for Rupe for a while, but ended badly with Patel hitting a nut-flush on the river.
Iraklis Manikaros raised to 6,000 from late position, and Sean Hegarty three-bet to 14,500 from the small blind. Manikaros then moved all in for approximately 72,000, putting himself at risk. Hegarty made the call and looked to be in great shape.
Iraklis Manikaros: A♥K♦
Sean Hegarty: K♠K♣
The dealer fanned an A♦ in the window, followed by the K♥5♥, maximum excitement, but the drama wasn’t over. The J♥7♥ runout completed a nut-flush for Manikaros, putting a massive dent in Hegarty’s stack. As chips were pushed across the table, one player muttered, “Poker can be a stupid game sometimes.”
All the chips went in the middle preflop between Thomas Liu, at risk with a short stack of around 70,000, and Matthew Davis, who had him covered:
Thomas Liu: Q♠Q♦
Matthew Davis: A♣K♠
Liu had to win the flip to survive, but the board revealed A♥6♠10♦3♦J♦, and Davis took down the pot with top pair.
In a heads-up raised pot, the flop was 8♣4♣Q♠ when Millard Hale checked from the blinds to David Amos who bet 4,000. Hale called and both checked on the 5♣ turn.
The river was the 7♦ and this time Hale led out for 10,000. It was enough to get a fold from Amos and grab the pot.
As one of the shortest stacks remaining in the event it didn't take Scott Bohlman long to get all of his chips into the pot, going all in under the gun with his final 13,000 chips. Louis Bailey made the call.
Scott Bohlman: 5♦6♦
Louis Bailey: A♠10♦
The runout didn't give Bohlman, who won his second bracelet earlier in the series, any help. The board fell K♠10♣9♠2♦2♥, making Bailey's two pair (tens and twos) the best hand.
Junhao Shen raised to 5,000 under the gun and got called by Harald Sammer in the cutoff before Yu Hsiang Huang made a three-bet to 22,000 in the small blind. Only Shen stayed interested and made the call.
The flop 10♣6♥9♥ was checked and so did the A♠ turn. A 5♠ hit the river and Huang bet 20,000. After a minute, Shen let it go.
