Taylor Mcclain moved all in for her remaining 11,500 chips from middle position and got a call from Raul Lozano in the small blind.
Taylor Mcclain: A♥6♥
Raul Lozano: A♣A♠
The J♣A♦3♥ flop saw both improve, but Lozano remained ahead, having flopped a set of aces.
There was a small glimmer of hope with the heart on the flop, but no more came to save Mcclain on the 7♣ turn and 9♦ river, sending her to the rail.
Action started with a raise to 3,000 from the player under the gun before folding to Jose Nadal in the hijack, who made the call. Matthew Barnett then squeezed it up to 13,000 from the cutoff. The initial raiser folded, but Nadal made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of 5♣9♠3♣, and Nadal check-called a bet of 11,000.
Both players then checked the 8♠ turn, which gave Nadal the green light to take over the betting lead on the 8♥ river. He put in a bet of 16,500, which gave Barnett some thinking to do.
Roughly a minute passed before Barnett decided just to return his cards to the dealer.
Sachin Ramrakhani raised in the small blind, and Qinghai Pan called in the big blind. Pan called the 3,000 Ramrakhani wagered on the 6♦6♣5♣ flop.
Ramrakhani slowed down on the 4♦ turn and checked, after which Pan bet 10,000. Ramrakhani called to the 3♥ river, where he check-called another bet of the same value.
Pan was reluctant to table his hand, so Ramrakhani showed A♠A♦ to take down the pot.
When the action folded around to Derek Norton, he moved all in for his remaining 20,000. One seat to his left, Jesse Williams made the call, and both of the players in the blinds folded.
Derek Norton: K♥J♥
Jesse Williams: J♦J♣
The situation wasn't looking good for Norton when the flop and turn came down 4♠7♥2♠A♠, but the K♠ river arrived just in time to keep him alive.
The full board 7♥A♥5♣J♣3♠ was on display, when Maurice Hawkins bet 7,000 from the big blind. Jesse Jones raised enough to put Hawkins all in were he to make the call. He did.
Maurice Hawkins: Q♥J♥
Jesse Jones: A♠7♠
Hawkins had flopped a flush draw and turned a pair of jacks, but that was not good enough against the two pair Jones hit when the dealer displayed the first three cards.
Having recently doubled up, David Chung committed his newly acquired 21,500 into the middle from early position and Brek Schutten called to try and bust him from the next seat.
David Chung: 8♣8♦
Brek Schutten: A♠J♦
It was a flip that Chung needed to win to keep his Main Event dream alive. Chung left Schutten almost drawing dead on the 8♥A♦8♠ flop as he improved to quad eights. The remainder of the board came Q♥9♣ and Chung yet again, doubled up.
Action was recapped by the table.
Brett Feder raised to 3,500 in the hijack and on the button, Joe McKeehen three-bet to 12,500. Action folded back around to Feder who four-bet to 38,500 and McKeehen called.
The flop rolled out Q♣8♣6♣ and Feder moved all in for 115,000 effective and McKeehen called to put himself at risk.
Brett Feder: Q♥Q♦
Joe McKeehen: A♠A♥
No help was brought to the 2015 WSOP Main Event champion on the runout of 3♥9♠ and Feder raked in a massive pot while McKeehen was eliminated from the tournament.
Also eliminated shortly after at the same table was 8th place finisher in the 2022 WSOP Main Event, Aaron Duczak.
Federico Ottenio moved all in from early position for his remaining 17,500 and was called by Duane Blanchard in middle position, who had him well covered.
Federico Ottenio: A♣K♣
Duane Blanchard: 9♠9♥
Blanchard was ahead, and the 3♣8♦5♣ flop kept him there, although it brought in a flush draw for Ottenio.
The 9♣ turn saw Blanchard improve to a set of nines but, it also brought in the club flush for Ottenio.
The 6♦ river didn't change anything and Ottenio secured the double up.
