There were roughly 25,000 chips in the pot on J♣Q♠5♣6♥, Anthony Nowalany bet 13,000 from the big blind and James Neville decided to put Nowalany all in for roughly 60,000 more on the button. After a long tank, Nowalany made the call.
Anthony Nowalany: 4♣3♣ 
James Neville: Q♦5♦
Neville's two pair held as the river came the A♥, and Nowalany was eliminated.
Kaue De Souza open-shoved in cutoff to be called by Jonathan Tackett in the small blind.
Kaue De Souza: A♠A♦
Jonathan Tackett: 5♠5♥
Souza's aces held on the board of 10♦4♠K♦8♥6♦ securing himself a double-up and leaving Tacket with eight big blinds.
Brockton Hankins raised in early position to 6,000, Zhe Li shoved 17,000 into the middle from the button, the blinds folded and Hankins made the call.
Zhe Li: A♥8♥
Brockton Hankins: Q♠J♠
Terrible start for Li as the flop came J♥4♠6♠, Hankins top pair held as the board ran out K♦8♣ and Li was eliminated.
Carlos Pou moved all in from under the gun for 43,000 and action folded around to Amirpasha Emami in middle position who called.
Carlos Pou: 9♠9♦
Amirpasha Emami: A♦Q♠
Pou didn't stay ahead for long as the 3♣8♦Q♦4♠3♠ runout saw Emami improve finding a queen.
On a table of short stacks, Srikanth Yadlapati was trying to break the mold, as he got all in preflop and dominated his opponent, Carlos Matoserarte, who was holding one of the few larger stacks.
Srikanth Yadlapati: Q♣J♠
Carlos Matoserarte: Q♠9♠
The 8♠8♣8♥ flop brought in plenty of chop outs for Matoserarte, with the 8♦ turn improbably giving quads to both players. The 7♦ river was always going to be inconsequential, as the two chopped up the blinds.
Brian Jennings three-bet all in with 43,000 chips from the small blind. Ivan Kuziv called the raise with his own all-in from under the gun.
Brian Jennings: A♣K♠
Ivan Kuziv: Q♠Q♦
Jennings lamented his ace-king combination as "the hand that's knocked me out of tournaments all summer. Here it is again."
Another chapter was added to the tale, as the runout of 7♥J♥5♦2♠J♠ sent him home with Kuziv's queens holding up.
Vera Dong, who pondered a call from the button, groaned when, according to her, she realized her hand that contained a jack would have knocked bother players out.
