The 1,921 players left have now gone for a 30-minute color-up break.
Level: 14
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
Joe Warling opened from under the gun to 8,000 and Aaron La moved all in for his remaining 81,000 from the hijack. Huawei Liu was in the cutoff and called off his remaining ~60,000 stack and Warling folded.
Huawei Liu: K♦K♠
Aaron La: A♥K♣
Liu was ahead and looking to find a double to stay alive but things took a turn on the 5♣4♠2♠ flop, as it brought in a straight draw for La.
The 3♦ was turned, bringing in the straight for La, and he held the lead on the 10♥ river, eliminating Liu just before the money bubble.
Caitlin Comeskey was all in and at risk for a short stack around 45,000, holding 9♦9♥, and was facing Q♥Q♦ in Andreas Olympios' hands.
Comeskey didn't find any miracle throughout the board 8♠A♦2♦10♣K♥ and was eliminated from the tournament.
Arthur Schiavo raised to 8,000 from under the gun, and Benjamin Longstaff called in the small blind.
The flop came K♣A♣9♠. Longstaff check-called a bet of 15,000 from Schiavo.
The turn was the 10♥. Longstaff check-raised Schiavo’s 27,000 bet to 100,000, and Schiavo called.
The river brought the 6♠. Longstaff now led for 120,000. Schiavo asked, 'will you show if I fold?' but Longstaff remained silent. After Schiavo's cards hit the muck, Longstaff revealed Q♥J♥, good for a turned straight.
Daniel Gonzalez was all-in from the hijack for his remaining 35,000 and went heads-up against Lucas Pochat in a middle position.
Daniel Gonzalez: A♠Q♣
Lucas Pochat: J♦J♣
Gonzalez needed to improve and was behind on the 5♣K♦2♠ flop, and the 10♣ turn.
His luck changed on the Q♠ river and he retook his seat, doubling his stack.
Action was picked up on the flop of 7♦2♣9♠ and a pot of 20,000. After a check, Daewoong Song from cutoff bet out 8,000 and got called by Joon Park on the button. Sascha Manns in the big blind folded leading the other two to the turn.
The turn 9♣ dropped and Song check-called Park's bet of 18,000. The same thing happened on the river 2♦ with Park betting 30,000 and Song calling.
Park showed J♦10♣ for a paired board with his jack as a kicker while Song tabled A♣7♥ for two pair with the board and his ace as the kciker.
