Taylor Paur raised from the cutoff to 1,000 and was re-raised by Isaac Haxton to 5,200 from the small blind. Paur made the call.

The flop came Q♦7♠5♣ and Paur called the 2,800 chip bet from Haxton.

On the A♣ turn, Haxton bet 5,200, and was called by Paur once again.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading 10♠9♣3♣9♥, Chance Kornuth bet 10,000 into a pot of around 15,000. Terry Fleischer check-raised to 30,000 and Kornuth played with his chips before shoving all in for around 55,000. Fleischer snapped him off and the cards were on their backs.

Chance Kornuth: K♦10♦ All in
Terry Fleischer: K♠9♠

Kornuth was in a heap of trouble with two pair against the trip nines of Fleischer. The river was the A♠ and Kornuth exited the tournament area while Fleischer stacked another pot.

"You've knocked out 15% of the field already," Erik Seidel chimed in from the other side of the table.
