Kenney and Taylor checked the 9♥2♦6♥ flop, with Yeh firing a bet. Both players called to the J♣ turn, where Kenney checked again.

Taylor bet, and Yeh called before Kenney did the same. The Q♥ river locked up the entire pot for Taylor, who followed Kenney with one last check.

Yeh slid out a bet, and Kenney folded before Taylor called to show down her flush with no low available. Yeh saw the bad news, sliding his cards into the muck.

Taylor made a flush on the 10♣8♣3♣ flop to lock up one half of the pot. She called a bet, which brought in the 5♥ turn. Kenney and Taylor both made the same low, which gave Taylor 75% of the pot. Kenney check-called Taylor's bet.

The 6♣ river saw Kenney check-call a bet, where he only received one quarter of the pot. Taylor then moved into second place, narrowly edging Kenney in the counts.

Joao Vieira was dealt split sixes and decided to just bring-in as he had the lowest upcard. Michael Mizrachi completed, with Bryn Kenney and Vieira calling.

Mizrachi bet on fourth, and was called in both spots, where Vieira was all-in. The Portuguese's pair was the best hand until Mizrachi made open-aces on fifth. Kenney had a flush draw.

Mizrachi remained ahead on sixth, with Kenney improving to a pair of nines. Vieira was in a world of hurt heading to seventh.

Mizrachi made aces up on seventh street to lock up the hand, and the action checked through where Vieira's elimination was confirmed.
