Action was picked up with cards on their backs between Christopher Hardina in the cutoff and Moonho Seo in early position with Hardina all in for his last 18,500.
Christopher Hardina: K♦J♣ 
Moonho Seo: A♥K♠
The board ran out K♣9♠8♣7♠A♦ and the aces up was good for Seo to take down the pot and eliminate Hardina.
With two players seeing a board of 4♣8♣2♠6♦10♣ and around 40,000 in the middle, Sam Rayburn bet 22,000 from the big blind and Gilad Rubinsky called from the hijack.
Rayburn tabled K♣5♣ for the second-nut flush to take down the sizable pot.
Action was joined with Adrian Mateos looking at a raise and three-bet ahead of him, and the action was on him in the small blind.
The three-bet was for 3,500, and Mateos moved all in for roughly 31,000.
Both the initial raiser and the three-bettor folded, and Mateos added some crucial chips to his stack.

In the 903rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by special fill-in cohosts Team PokerStars Pro Jennifer Shahade and Josh Abady of Play Live Melbourne to discuss the latest in the poker industry, including the latest on the alleged chip-dumping incident from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Millionaire Maker event. Winner Jesse Yaginuma did get paid the $1,000,000 bonus, but he and runner-up James Carroll are still awaiting a decision by WSOP officials on the regular prize money.
Another big story was Golden Nugget cancelling their $1 million guaranteed tournament, much to the dismay of several players, including Kyna England. The hosts discuss the decision and examine the larger concept of guarantees within the poker world. You'll then get highlights from a pair of Meet-Up Games (MUGs), including the PokerNews one at Planet Hollywood and the PokerStars one at Resorts World, where the first $5,300 Main Event seat to November's NAPT was awarded. See who the lucky winner was!

Players are now on their fourth break of the day and will return in 20 minutes. The field currently stands at 914 entries, with 701 players remaining.
Here are some highlights from Level 4:
Marco Poccia raised under the gun, which one player had called before action got to Renat Bohdanov. Bohdanov put in a three-bet to 4,500, to which Poccia responded with a four-bet to 13,000. Action folded back to Bohdanov, who moved all in for 31,300, which Poccia called.
Renat Bohdanov: K♠K♣
Marco Poccia: A♦J♥
A promising situation in the Main Event soon turned to one of sorrow for Bohdanov. The dealer fanned out a flop of J♠J♣10♣, firing Poccia into the lead.
The turn 10♥ only served to improve Poccia to a full house, and the river Q♥ did not affect the outcome.
Milan Dobrilovic opened to 1,200 from middle position and was only called by Stephen Zolotow in the small blind.
Dobrilovic continued for 2,000 on the 3♣5♦4♥ flop, but Zolotow check-raised to 7,000. Dobrilovic snap-called.
The 6♣ turn was checked by both players, and they checked again the 7♠ river which brought a straight on the board.
This straight was a good news for Dubrilovic with A♥5♥ because Zolotow had a set with 3♦3♠.
