The table folded to the button when Monte George shoved for 47,000 and was called in the small blind by David Edwards to put George at risk.
Monte George: K♥3♥
David Edwards: J♥J♦
George was searching for a king, but it never came when the board ran out 5♦8♥6♦J♠10♥ to give Edwards a set, which sent George to the rail.
After Marc Ginsberg raised under the gun, action folded to Keith Clarke on the button. Clarke elected to move all in for just under 30,000, and Ginsberg made the call.
Keith Clarke: A♠7♣
Marc Ginsberg: A♦4♦
Ginsberg announced that he was hoping to chop the pot before the flop came down 8♠10♣6♠.
The K♦ turn made a chopped pot more likely, but the river 2♦ secured the double-up for Clarke, with his seven kicker playing.
James Slape was all-in for 127,000 from the blinds and Zaher Sayegh was the player trying to eliminate him.
James Slape: K♠6♣
Zaher Sayegh: A♦Q♠
Slape was behind to Sayegh's ace-queen, but he did have two live cards working for him. The K♥10♠A♣ flop gave each player a pair, but Sayegh was still in the lead with top pair. Sayegh improved to a straight on the J♣ turn to take a commanding lead. The 6♥ fell on the river and Slape hit the rail.
Level: 16
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
Russell Diaz chose to shove for his last 80,000 from under the gun. The table folded around to Lawrence Whyte on the button, who shoved for more for a total of 131,000. Stuart Pfeifer called both players from the big blind to put Diaz and Whyte at risk.
Russell Diaz: A♥10♦
Lawrence Whyte: Q♠Q♦
Stuart Pfeifer: A♠K♥
Whyte was in good shape against Diaz and Pfeifer, but the 2♦3♠4♥ flop gave Diaz and Pfeifer additional outs to a straight.
Whyte faded any pitfalls when the J♥ turn and the 7♠ river peeled off.
Serge Moresi got the last of his chips at risk against Mary Mckenzie on a board of 6♠5♦2♠.
Serge Moresi: 9♣9♠
Mary Mckenzie: A♥Q♠
Moresi seemed primed to double when the 8♦ came off on the turn.
McKenzie cheered when the A♦ snapped off on the river much to Moresi's chagrin.
"You didn't even have a hand on the flop... oh, well — nice hand." Moresi said as they confirmed his payout.
Daniel McGrew and Robert Hess both had all of their chips in the middle preflop, with McGrew being the player at risk for his last 57,000.
Daniel McGrew: A♦Q♦
Robert Hess: 8♥8♦
It was a flip that was crucial for both players. The flop came Q♥3♠J♠, propelling McGrew into the lead with a pair of queens. The rest of the board came 9♣K♥ and McGrew doubled up.
Hess was left with just a few big blinds and hit the rail just a few hands after.
Kenneth Coy opened the action with a raise from early position to 10,000. Mark Montgomery called on the button before Joseph Schwenk jammed for 31,000 from the small blind. Coy responded with a raise to 60,000, which elicited a fold from Montgomery.
Joseph Schwenk: Q♦Q♣
Kenneth Coy: K♦10♥
Schwenk held the lead, but that changed after the flop when it fanned out J♥K♠8♠. The 7♠ turn and the 4♥ river were the final two cards of Schwenk's tournament as he was sent to the cage.
Action folded to Ramana Epparla in the cutoff, who raised to 10,000. Small blind Kenneth Coy made the call, and John Morgan, in the big blind, called off his remaining stack and was all in for 8,000.
The flop came out 7♦10♠2♥, and Coy didn't hang around, leading into the preflop aggressor for 20,000, which Epparla called.
The turn J♣ didn't slow Coy down, this time putting out a bet of 40,000. Once again, Epparla called.
Coy decided to hit the brakes on the 5♣ river, but seemingly he was trapping his opponent, as when Epparla put out a bet of 80,000, Coy called immediately.
Epparla was caught bluffing, revealing A♠9♠, which Coy had beat with his Q♦10♣. All in player Morgan couldn't better his opponent's hand, showing 5♥4♦.
As Coy pulled in the pot, Morgan headed to the exit.
