Players were already heads-up on the 10♣7♠8♠ flop and Shamica Lamar was all in and at risk against Richard Bassing.

Shamica Lamar: 8♦8♣ All in
Richard Bassing: 10♥10♠

Both had flopped trips but, Bassing was ahead with the tens.

David Salituro

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mike Matusow raised to 5,000 in early position and picked up calls from Scott Eskenazi in middle position and big blind Nicolas Tartaglia.

Matusow continued for 6,000 on the 8♣8♠5♥ flop and only Eskenazi called. The turn was the J♣ and Matusow checked to Eskenazi, who bet 8,000.

Matusow called to the 7♥ river, where Eskenazi bet another 15,500. Matusow took a few minutes but eventually folded.

Thomas Eychenne is at this same table with a stack of around 600,000.

Dan O'Hair

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Benji Tustin opened to 4,000 from middle position and was called by Bruce Peery in the hijack. It was then folded to Davide Muccini, who shoved for approximately 30,000 from the small blind. Tustin also went all in for more and Peery got out of the way.

Davide Muccini: A♣Q♠ All in
Benji Tustin: K♣K♠

Muccini would need some help to get his Main Event dreams alive, but the 3♣J♠7♥5♦K♥ runout left Tustin with a set of kings instead — ending Muccini's run.

The cards were already on their backs and Xuejun Huang celebrated a knockout when Haruki Arita was sent to the rail during the late stages of the night. According to the table chat, it had been a multi-way pot in which Huang's J♦10♦ had flopped the nut straight on Q♠9♣8♣ and the A♠Q♦ of Arita could not catch up anymore on the Q♥ turn and 2♥ river.
