Scott Bohlman was unable to beat the A♠A♥10♠2♣ of Simeon Tsonev on the 8♥8♠7♣Q♦K♦ runout and was sent to the rail when his A♣QxJxJ♣ failed to improve.

Jeffrey Whittinghill: A♥J♥J♠8♠
Ben Lamb: 10♦8♥7♦6♥
The board ran out 10♠7♥5♠4♠4♦ and Whittinghill turned a flush to survive.

Scott Bohlman raised to 105,000 in the hijack and Erik Seidel three-bet to 360,000 in the cutoff. Bohlman announced all in and Seidel called off the extra 60,000 chips in front of him.
Erik Seidel: K♣K♦Q♣5♠
Scott Bohlman: A♠A♦J♠7♦
The flop came K♠10♦5♣ and Seidel took the lead with a set of kings. The Q♥ on the turn improved Bohlman to a straight but the 10♥ on the river reversed the roles again as Seidel made a full house to double up.
"That's a made-for-TV runout," David Paredes said after the hand.

With 40 players remaining spread across five tables, some of the contenders in the mix are tanking on the pay jump bubble. Erik Seidel however wasted little time to raise the pot to 105,000 from an early position. Ken Fishman called from the big blind and checked the A♥Q♥J♠ flop. Seidel jammed for 240,000 - exactly the size of the pot - and Fishman folded.

Livingston bet 480,000 on the 10♠ turn and Karmazinas shoved, covering Livingston who had started the hand with around 1,200,000. Livingston called and was at risk.
Alex Livingston: A♣K♠10♣5♥
Dominykas Karmazinas: A♠A♦7♣7♥
Livingston had top two pair but was drawing dead against Karmazinas' top set and after the 6♦ river fell he exited the tournament area.
