Three ways to the K♦10♠8♣ flop, Riva Arthur in the small blind bet 9,000 and the big blind folded. Christopher Davis then jammed a shorter stack and Arthur snap-called.
Christopher Davis: A♦K♣ 
Riva Arthur: K♥10♥
The Q♠ turn gave Davis more outs to survive but the 4♠ river was not among them, sending the chips over to big stack Arthur.
Pablo Sartori raised under the gun to 6,000, Ryan Depaulo shoved 46,000 chips into the middle from the hijack, Sartori asked for a count and made the call once the dealer confirmed the amount.
Ryan Depaulo: A♦Q♦
Pablo Sartori: K♠Q♠
Both players flopped top pair as the dealer dealt J♠10♥Q♣, Sartori turned a straight on the 9♠, and the 5♥ on the river eliminated Depaulo from the tournament.
Three ways to the J♠2♠2♦ flop, two short stacks were all-in against Qiang Xu to set up the following showdown with Prince Cassell in the big blind and Stephen Lardner on the button involved.
Prince Cassell: J♣4♣
Stephen Lardner: A♠8♠
Qiang Xu: Q♠J♥
The Q♥ turn left Cassell on very thin ice while Lardner could still survive with a spade. That came with the 4♠ river and he doubled through Xu for 62,500 while covering Cassell by a very small margin.
Sebastien Aube raised on the button to 7,000, and was met by a three-bet from John Bunch in the big blind. Bunch had raised to 23,500, but quickly saw Aube move all in.
Bunch made the call, and as the shorter of the two stacks, with 92,000, he was the player at risk.
John Bunch: 6♠6♥
Sebastien Aube: A♥K♣
The flop 3♣2♦Q♥ was good for Bunch, but the A♣ turn saw Aube take the lead.
There was no help for Bunch on the 2♣ river, and he headed to the exit.
Charisse Case was all-in preflop with a short stack and looked up by Stephen Lloyd for the following showdown.
Charisse Case: 9♦9♣
Stephen Lloyd: A♦K♥
The board ran out 10♠6♥6♦8♣4♣ and Case doubled.
Soon after she clashed with John Sabey as they got it in preflop with Case at risk for 80,000.
Charisse Case: A♣Q♥
John Sabey: 10♣10♥
The K♦8♣6♥Q♠8♦ board delivered the queen for another double-up. Sabey was left with around 23,000 and busted soon thereafter.
Joshua Kay raised to 7,000 and Chris Audrain three-bet to 30,000 from the next seat. Kay called.
Kay checked on the flop of A♥J♠3♥ and Audrain continued for 21,000. Kay check-raised to 47,000 and Audrain called. Kay then moved all in on the 4♠ turn and Audrain called with less.
Chris Audrain: A♣K♣
Joshua Kay: J♥J♣
Audrain had top pair but was drawing dead against the set of Kay as the 4♣ river improved Kay to a full house to confirm Audrain's elimination.
Audrain has had quite the day having picked up aces to crack kings in the first level of the day. "Did I just walk into a heater?” a player who had moved to Kay's table said earlier in the tournament.
Miguel Fiscal opened to 6,500 from early position and was called by Adam Cader in the small blind.
On the 9♠7♠6♣ flop, Fiscal continued with bet before Cader check-raised to 22,000. Fiscal quickly announced all-in for 77,000 total and Cader snapped it off.
Miguel Fiscal: A♠J♠
Adam Cader: 9♦9♣
Fiscal decided to go with his nut flush draw but he was well behind the top set of Cader. Fiscal could not find the needed spade on the 4♣3♦ runout as he was sent to the exit by the hands of Cader.
Jonathan Tamayo raised to 6,000 from early position and in the hijack Alen Tenorio three-bet to 17,500. Action folded back around to Tamayo who moved all in for 107,500 and Tenorio called.
Jonathan Tamayo: 8♥8♠
Alen Tenorio: A♣K♣
The board ran out A♦J♣9♣9♠Q♥ and the aces and nines were good for Tenorio to take down the pot. The 2024 WSOP Main Event champion took his leave from the tournament, opening the opportunity for another world champion to rise.
David Jackson raised in early position to 6,000, Massoud Eskandari shoved 104,000 from the big blind, Jackson called.
Massoud Eskandari: 7♥7♦
David Jackson: A♦K♦
Great start for Jackson as the flop came 10♣4♣A♠, Eskandari could not find a seven as the board ran out 2♠Q♦, and his main event run came to an end.
