Xuemei Liang raised to 1,300 under the gun, Mariano Molino flatted in the hijack, and Eric Baldwin three-bet to 5,200 on the button. Charles Shaverdians cold-called in the big blind, Liang called, and Molino got out of the way.
The flop came 6♠K♥J♥and it checked around to Baldwin who bet 6,000. Shaverdians and Liang both folded and the pot was pushed Baldwin's way.
Ayman Alqarqaz bet 8,000 chips on the flop of 6♠3♠6♣. Dongmin Lee raised the bet to 15,000.
When the 9♠ hit on the turn, Alqarqaz shoved all in. Lee made the call with less and immediately asked Alqarqaz if he had a flush.
Dongmin Lee: 8♦6♦
Ayman Alqarqaz: J♦J♠
Lee had flopped trips and was ahead all the way. He did not need the board to pair on the river car 9♣, which gave him a full boat.
Alqarqaz was knocked out of the tournament during the next rotation.
Jamie Gold, feeling "steamed up," in his own words, raised to 5,000 from under the gun and found a call from Christopher Dowling in the big blind.
The flop came 5♥6♣4♥, and Gold flipped out another 5,000 bet, Dowling called. The 9♥ dropped on the turn, and now Gold bet out for 15,000 only to see Dowling move all in, and he had Gold covered.
"I have aces!" exclaimed Gold, not really liking the call but pushing in his remaining chips.
Jamie Gold: A♣A♠
Christopher Dowling: 9♦9♣
"Oh wow, great hand," complemented Gold when he saw Dowling's cards and that he had turned a set. The 5♦ on the river filled Dowling up and sent the legendary Gold to the reentry page on the WSOP+ app.
