Robert Nehorayan went all-in and was at risk against Leondro Foster.
Robert Nehorayan: A♣Q♠
Leandro Foster: K♠Q♦
Nehorayan dominated Foster with a better queen, but the 9♠10♣Q♣ flop was a precarious one for Nehorayan as Foster gained straight outs.
The 3♠ was a safe turn, but Foster spiked one of his outs when the K♦ peeled off on the river to send Nehorayan out of the tournament.

It was a battle of pair over pair when Jeremy Schmidt and Joshua Zucchet were all-in preflop, with Schmidt at risk.
Jeremy Schmidt: J♥J♣
Joshua Zucchet: A♥A♦
Schmidt's pocket jacks needed to improve for him to stay alive, but the board runout of Q♥6♥8♠7♥6♦ did not materialize any magic as Schmidt was eliminated.

Jeffrey Manders raised from late position to 9,000 and saw a call from Roberto Romanello in the small blind.
The flop came 3♣7♣6♥, and Romanello checked to Manders, who bet out for 13,000. Romanello check-raised to 28,000, and Manders called. The turn brought the K♦ and now Romanello led out for 34,000. Manders went into the tank for a while before releasing his hand and sending the pot to Romanello with no showdown.

The hand began with a raise by Jonathan Wolter to 6,000 from the hijack before he was called in the next seat over by Javier Pinto. Benjamin Primus opted to ship his stack for 45,000 on the button.
Wolter folded, and Pinto gave it considerable thought before he also folded to award the pot to Primus.
