Action folded to Daniel Trianaruiz on the button when he decided to raise to 300,000, leaving himself just 55,000 behind. Omid Mortazavi in the big blind then went all in. Trianaruiz went into the tank, prompting a player to call the clock.

Daniel Trianaruiz: K♠J♣ All in
Omid Mortazavi: A♠Q♥

The board ran out K♥2♦9♣8♦2♠, giving Trianaruiz top pair and the much-needed double.

Sen Mu committed the last of his stack against Marius Lussi and was at risk as the two went into a runout.

Sava Krink

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The pot stood at around 1,000,000, the board showed K♠K♥J♦6♥8♣, and Gennadiy Dvosis in the small blind checked to Gary Bolton on the button. Bolten bet 350,000, prompting Dvosis to go into a three-minute tank before making the call.

Dvosis showed 3♥3♠ for two pair, kings and threes, while Bolton had A♥Xx for ace high. Dvosis took down the decent pot to boost his stack.

Nick Becker

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded around to Jonathan Prince in the small blind who moved all in for 950,000. Joseph Brumpacheco called in the big blind for 880,000 to put himself at risk.

Joseph Brumpacheco: Q♥J♦ All in
Jonathan Prince: K♥10♣

Brumpacheco pulled ahead on the 10♠3♠J♣ flop, pairing his jack. The J♥ turn locked up the double up for him and the meaningless 5♥ rolled off on the river.

Prince was left with just 70,000 after the hand and was seen exiting the tournament area a few moments later.

Player	Chips	Progress
Joseph Brumpacheco	1,880,000 920,000	920,000

Erick Torres

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Yudai Futai jammed from the button and was called for less from the big blind by Ricky Lee to set up a showdown.

Ricky Lee: K♣Q♦ All in
Yudai Futai: A♠9♠

Futai held the edge against Lee as they took a flop. The 7♥8♥4♠ flop kept Futai in front. The A♦ turn was the end of Lee's run as it gave Futai top pair to end the hand, which made the 6♥ river procedural as it did not impact the outcome.

Player	Chips	Progress
Yudai Futai	2,190,000 1,385,000	1,385,000
Ricky Lee	Busted

Myles Phago

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

David Simon from under the gun pushed 900,000 of his chips into the middle, almost all in, apart from 50,000, which he left behind.

Arthur Morris, in early position, came over the top and three-bet all in, and action was folded back around to Simon, who, having achieved the next pay jump, tossed in his last 50,000 to make the call.

David Simon: A♣10♣ All in
Arthur Morris: J♣J♦

A clean runout for Morris of 4♣7♥2♥9♠7♦ and he was pushed the pot and sent Simon to the cage.
