Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Scott Allacher opened the action with a raise to 18,000 from under the gun, picking up calls from Alberto Destrade and Harlan Karnofsky. When the action reached Brandon Sheils in the hijack, he pumped it up to 80,000.
On the button, Sean Grimes had just 70,000 left and moved all in. The blinds got out of the way, but Destrade, Karnofsky, and Allacher all called the three-bet, giving Grimes a chance to multiply his stack.
The flop came K♠6♦7♠, and Allacher immediately shoved for 137,000. Destrade and Karnofsky quickly folded, but Sheils called, taking the hand to a three-way showdown.
Sean Grimes: A♠Q♣
Scott Allacher: 7♥7♣
Brandon Sheils: Q♠J♠
Allacher had flopped a set, leaving Grimes needing running cards and Sheils looking for spades. The 4♥ turn brought no help, and the J♥ river sealed the pot for Allacher, who scored a huge double. Unfortunately for Grimes, his Main Event run ended.

Stanislav Halatenko got the remainder of his stack all in preflop versus Michael Parisi, and received bad news when the cards were turned over.
Stanislav Halatenko: A♥10♥
Michael Parisi: K♠K♥
There was no help for Halatenko on the 2♣J♦9♠3♦J♥ runout, and he joined the list of players to make it into the money before falling.
On a nearby table, Ivaylo Panev suffered the same fate, finding himself all in for his 120,000 and dominated by Eric Worre.
Ivaylo Panev: A♠Q♣
Eric Worre: A♥K♦
The dealer provided the 7♦3♣4♣6♥4♥, which could do nothing to save Panev.

: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Natalie Ferguson moved her final 23,000 over the line from early position. It folded to Andrew Hedley in the big blind, who made a quick call.
Natalie Ferguson: K♦8♠
Andrew Hedley: 10♥7♣
Ferguson's king-high was best on the A♠6♥A♣ flop and 2♦ turn, but Hedley paired up on the 7♥ river to send Ferguson home.
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Phil Laak was all-in at risk for the last of his stack with Matthew Kramer making the call to try and send him to the payout desk.
Phil Laak: 7♣7♥
Matthew Kramer: A♦K♠
It was a flip that would either see Laak double up or be eliminated. The 10♦K♥9♠ flop propelled Kramer into the lead with top pair. Laak couldn't find a seven on the 8♠ turn or 3♠ river, and he was out of the tournament.
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Richard Wong shoved for 74,000 from middle position and Bruce Peery called with a covering stack from the hijack to put him at risk.
Richard Wong: 10♠10♦
Bruce Peery: A♥K♠
The 7♣K♥6♦ flop gave Peery top pair, leaivng Wong drawing to two outs. Wong couldn't improve as the rest of the board ran out 2♦A♦, resulting in his elimination.
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action was picked up as Stephen Wangler, and Konstantin Generalov were all in against Hao-Shan Huang.
Stephen Wangler: Q♦J♣
Konstantin Generalov: K♦Q♠
Hao-Shan Huang: A♠10♦
The flop was great for Huang as it came 8♦K♥A♣, but the K♠ on the turn put Generalov into the lead, and he held as the 4♣ was dealt on the river. Wangler was unfortunately eliminated from the main event.
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mark Dickner asked the floor if the bubble received a package to the WSOP Paradise Main Event before tossing in his last 5,000 from early position. Thomas Boivin then raised to 20,000 in early position, but Kelvin Kerber moved all in in the hijack and Boivin folded.
Mark Dickner: 5♥3♥
Kelvin Kerber: K♥J♣
Dickner was actively rooting for his own elimination as the flop came K♣Q♥10♣ to give Kerber top pair. Dickner picked up a flush draw on the 8♥ turn, but he missed the 2♣ river and raised his arms in the air in celebration after being eliminated on the bubble.
In another section, Mathew Frankland was all-in for 51,000 on a flop of 4♦5♣9♦ and a pot of 55,000. Michael Miravi, his heads-up opponent, made the call.
Mathew Frankland: 10♦9♥
Michael Miravi: K♦K♥
Frankland had hit top pair on the flop, but couldn't beat Miravi's pocket kings. The A♣7♦ runout didn't help Frankland at all, making him one of the players who busted on the bubble.
Sachin Joshi was forced all-in with his stack of 4,000 in the small blind. Julien Mariani put in a raise to 16,000 from early position before the player on his direct left three-bet to 40,000. The action folded to the big blind, who elected to cold-call. Mariani also called.
The dealer burned and turned three, providing a 3♥4♥3♣ flop. The player in the big blind checked, but Mariani decided to take over the betting lead, placing a wager of roughly 65,000. The rest folded.
Sachin Joshi: 9♠6♣
Julien Mariani: K♦6♦
There was no help for Joshi on the 8♦ turn, and while he made a pair on the 6♥ river, Mariani had made the same pair with a superior kicker, resulting in Joshi's elimination from the Main Event.
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Maksim Pisarenko opened the action with a raise to 22,000 and found callers in Viktor Vladov in the hijack and David Mclaws in the small blind. Hal Hammaker, sitting in the big blind with just 2,000 left after posting, moved all in for his tournament life.
The flop came 5♦4♦2♦, and after a check from Mclaws, Pisarenko bet 28,000. Vladov got out of the way, and Mclaws quickly called.
On the 3♦ turn, Mclaws checked again and Pisarenko tossed in another 28,000, which Mclaws called without much hesitation.
Both players checked the 6♠ river and went to showdown. Mclaws showed A♣K♠ for a straight on the board, likely thinking he had at least a chop. But Hammaker flipped over A♦6♦ for a stunning straight flush, nuts.
With the bubble looming, Hammaker found the miracle and secured a crucial quadruple-up to keep his Main Event hopes alive.
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daniele Primerano raised to 17,000 in the cutoff and was called by Kosaku Akashi on the button and Adam Rude in the small blind. The flop came J♣7♥5♣ and the action checked to Akashi who bet 30,000. Rude check-raised all in for 254,000 which got Primerano to fold but Akashi quickly called.
Adam Rude: 7♠7♦
Kosaku Akashi: A♣6♣
Rude flopped a set of sevens but Akashi had outs with the nut flush draw. The turn brought the 8♣ and Akashi instantly hit his flush. Rude needed the board to pair but it was the K♣ on the river that sent Rude home, bringing the field down to just 1,462 players
