Ihar Soika three-bet jammed for 48,000 from the small blind over an early position open from Xiaoyao Ma. After the blinds folded, Ma made the call.
Ihar Soika: A♦4♣
Xiaoyao Ma: A♠10♠
Soika was ready to leave as he was dominated by Ma's superior ace. The 5♥6♦8♠ flop gave Soika a straight draw. The K♥ turn didn't help Soika, but the 7♦ on the river improved Soika to a straight, keeping him in the tournament.

The board of 10♦2♣9♦4♦4♣ changed nothing and Acevedo doubled up.

Alex Kulev opened to around 114,000 from middle position, leaving just 20,000 behind. Brian Rast moved all in from the cutoff, and after the action folded back around, Kulev snap-called, putting himself at risk.
Alex Kulev:A♠8♠
Brian Rast:8♦8♣
Kulev needed to find an ace to stay alive, but the board ran out 10♦Q♣10♣5♥5♠, offering no help. Rast’s pocket eights held strong, earning him another bounty and a boost to his growing stack.

Yuya Arito raised to 25,000 from early position. Kahle Burns threw in his final 3,000 in chips to go all-in and be at risk. Chad Thyzel decided to also go all-in, but for substantially more, as he jammed for 163,000. Yuya Arito called and had both covered as the cards went on their backs.
Kahle Burns: Q♥8♣
Chad Thyzel: Q♦Q♣
Yuya Arito: J♥10♠
Thyzel led the pack at the start, and the 3♦4♠A♣ flop did nothing material to change that. The K♦ turn gave Arito a straight draw, but the 4♦ river averted any danger for Thyzel's queens to lock up the double-up and the knockout.

Alexander Lynskey raised to 24,000 from the hijack, and faced an all-in raise to 61,000 from the cutoff by John Andress. Lynskey called, and the two went to a showdown.
John Andress: A♣10♥
Alexander Lynskey: 9♦9♣
Andress hit his ace on the A♠J♣8♦ flop. The Q♠ turn was safe for Andress, and the K♥ river upgraded him to a straight to score the double and avert elimination.

Action was joined with three players already all in, but no board yet on the table.
Johanssy Joseph was all in for roughly 100,000; Matthew Lambrecht for around 280,000, and Justin Saliba had them both covered with a stack of 311,000.
Johanssy Joseph: A♥K♣
Matthew Lambrecht: A♣Q♥
Justin Saliba: K♦K♥
A promising situation for Saliba to amass a huge stack and pick up two bounties, worth $3,000 each.
The flop laid rest to those dreams, though, as the dealer fanned out a A♦J♣9♠ flop, improving both of Saliba's opponents to top pair.
The 9♦ turn and J♥ river kept standings as they were, meaning no bounties exchanged hands as Joseph tripled up and Lambrecht took the side pot.

Loni Hui was forced all in from the small blind, with just 3,000 chips to her name. Robert Cowen flatted from late position, before Matas Cikinas then shoved, bounty hunting, from the cutoff. Everyone else folded, and Cikinas was in good shape to pick up his first bounty of the day.
Loni Hui: 8♠5♠
Matas Cikinas: K♦10♦
Despite not needing to improve, Cikinas rivered a flush on 7♣2♥Q♦2♦J♦ to send Harwood home.
