Four players saw the dealer reveal a flop of 9♥10♦7♠. Timmy Tran bet out from the big blind and was by a raise to 8,000 by Clinton Branchen in the hijack. After two folds, Tran jammed for 32,000, which was instantly called by Branchen.
Timmy Tran: 7♦7♣
Clinton Branchen: 9♠9♣
Both players held a set, but unfortunately for Tran, his was the lowest one. There was no miracle one-outer on the K♦ turn or 4♣ river, and Tran headed for the nearest exit.

Lucas Greenwood opened to 1,200 from the cutoff, but Nikola Gasevic had a hand he felt was worth more. Playing from the small blind, he put in a three-bet to 3,500. Action then folded back to Greenwood, who made the call.
Gasevic continued his aggression with a bet of 2,800 on the very connected 5♦6♦4♣ flop, which again, Greenwood called.
The 7♠ turn brought four to a straight in both directions, and Gasevic elected to check. Greenwood accepted the invitation to take over the betting lead and placed a substantial wager of 8,000.
Gasevic did take some time to deliberate, but ultimately decided to return his cards to the dealer.

From the big blind, Gabriel Schroeder fired out a bet of 12,500 on the turn of a board that showed 3♥8♠6♣5♥. Jason Darland jammed over the top for 49,600 from middle position, causing Schroeder to ponder for a while before ultimately making the call.
Jason Darland: 9♦7♦
Gabriel Schroeder: 6♦3♣
Darland had the nut straight against the two pair of Schroeder and just needed to fade a board-pairing river to double-up into the six-figure club.
A clean K♥ dropped on the river and Darland doubled up at the expense of Schroeder.

After Martin Spatt limped in first position, Wagner Wysotchanski raised to 2,500 in the hijack and Joseph Clark called on the button. In the big blind, David Abramowicz moved all in for 41,000 which saw Spatt fold, Wysotchanski shove for more, and Clark folded behind what he said was AxKx.
David Abramowicz: 9♥9♠
Wagner Wysotchanski: Q♣Q♦
The board ran out J♥5♥7♣J♠K♠ and the queens and jacks were good for Wysotchanski to take down the pot and eliminate Abramowicz from the tournament.

As Vanessa Selbst was delivered two Fiji waters, the 3♦2♣9♥10♠2♠ board was completed by the dealer. Marc Evanier then bet 7,000 into the pot of 13,500, which Selbst raised to 24,300 after some thought.
Evanier spent some minutes in the tank, but eventually called off. Selbst showed K♠K♥ for kings and deuces, and Evanier complimented his opponent's hand as he sent his cards to the muck.
