Julia completed first to act and Schauman called.

Julia led on fourth and led all-in for 2,300 on fifth, which Schauman called.

"I'm way ahead," Julia joked as the hands were tabled. Much to his surprise, he was in the lead with ace-high. Julia caught the Q♥ on sixth and Schamaun got the Q♣ to pick up a flush draw.

Schamaun revealed first on seventh with the 8♠ to pair. Julia needed to improve to stay alive, but he caught the 9♦ on the end as he was left with just ace-high, and the 2021 champion of this event hit the exit.

No-Limit Hold'em

Roland Israelashvili raised to 4,000 from early position and it was folded to Ryutaro Suzuki, who shoved for 47,000 from the small blind.

"It's time for you to go home," Gennady Shimelfarb said from the big blind just before announcing he was also all in for slightly more. Israelashvili got out of the way and a showdown was held.

Ryutaro Suzuki: A♦K♥ All in
Gennady Shimelfarb: Q♣Q♠

It was a fair fight, but the 3♣9♦9♥8♣7♠ runout came clean for Shimelfarb's queen — eliminating Suzuki late in the evening.

It checked to Kenney on seventh who peeked his cards and announced, "I have an emergency high," as he checked back. Blum revealed his seven low which was good for half while Kenney's tens were enough for the high and Turner mucked.
