Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jianwei Lin opened up the action from early position with a raise to 2,500. Kevin Williams called from two doors down, before Austin Simmerman shoved for his remaining 14,000 from the cutoff. Simas Karaliunas called on the button, and the other two players surrendered their 2,500 to the dead money pile.

Austin Simmerman: 3♠3♦ All in
Simas Karaliunas: A♠K♣

"The classic" one player at the table said as the dealer prepared the runout. It came 2♦6♣2♥10♠Q♠ and despite the paint scare on the river, Simmerman held on to keep his main event dreams alive.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andriy Lyubovetskiy raised to 2,800 from the cutoff and was called by Alexios Halebian in the small blind and Breffni Smith in the big blind for a three-way pot.

It was checked to Lyubovetskiy on the 2♣7♦2♠ flop and he continued for a bet of 3,000. Halebian called and Smith folded.

Both players proceeded to check down on the 10♣ turn and 5♥ river and Halebian showed 8♥7♥ for two pair. Lyubovetskiy sent his hand into the muck and Halebian put another dent into the Day 1c chip leader's stack.

Santiago Montes wasn't a happy bunny after he just lost a big pot to Corey Brass.

The chips had already flown into the middle on a runout of J♠3♠2♣7♦8♦, where Montes revealed Q♣Q♦. Brass had that beat with 7♥7♠ as he turned a set of sevens, which saw his stack rocket up to around 135,000.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jordan Mcallister opened from under the gun to 2,500, Kazunari Sonehara called from the cutoff and Daniel Dayan also called on the button. Diane Mccarty three-bet to 12,500 and got a single call from Sonehara.

The A♥J♠3♠ flop was bet by Mccarty to 20,000 and Sonehara called.

A 3♦ was turned and Mccarty moved all in for her remaining 96,100 stack.

Sonehara called and showed J♥J♣ for a boat. Mccarty flipped over K♦K♥ and was behind, and looked to the river for some help.

There was no King to save Mccarty on the 9♥ river, and she was left to walk away from the tournament.
