Jeffrey Durbin and David Paul entangled in an all-in pot preflop to put Durbin at risk.
Jeffrey Durbin: A♣10♠
David Paul: A♦K♠
Durbin was behind, but he traded three outs for four outs when the flop fanned out K♦8♠J♠. The 7♥ turn and the 3♠ river did not improve Durbin to a straight to send him out of the tournament.

Tom Thomas raised from late position to 5,000 and was called by Richard Hendricks on the button. Diane Cooley then three-bet all in from the big blind. Thomas called, and Hendricks folded.
Diane Cooley: A♥J♦
Tom Thomas: A♣10♥
The board ran out 3♣5♠2♠Q♥7♠ and gave Thomas no help, but Cooley got a much needed double up.
In the very next hand, Thomas raised again now from middle position to 3,000 and all other players folded except for Paul Ng, who made the call from the big blind.
The flop came 5♥Q♦8♦, Ng checked, and Thomas continuing his aggression bet out for 2,400. Ng called. The turn brought the 4♠, and again Ng checked, and this time Thomas bets out for 10,200. Ng thought for a while and made the call.
Both players checked the 2♣ river and Ng tabled 9♦10♦ for missed straight and flush draws whilst Thomas flipped over 7♦7♠ for third pair, which won him the pot.

A three-way all-in broke out between Robert Douras, Eli Ross, and Marcus Knox preflop. Ross and Knox were both at risk as Douras had both players covered.
Marcus Knox: A♠K♠
Eli Ross: Q♦Q♠
Robert Douras: A♣A♥
Douras had each player in deep trouble as his aces dominated Knox and held court of Ross' queens. Douras remained in control on the 3♦7♣7♥ flop, but the Q♣ turn launched Ross into the lead.
The 5♣ river secured the triple for Ross and sent Knox out of the tournament.
