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.
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.
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.
Jonathan Glendinning opened to 16,000 from early position with J♠10♠ and Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 52,000 from the cutoff with J♥10♥. Glendinning called.
The flop came A♠2♥7♦. Glendinning checked, Chidiwck bet 18,000 and Glendinning called.
Both players checked the 2♦ turn leading to the 2♠ river. Glendinning bet 30,000 and Chidwick folded.
Simon Britton jammed for 71,000 from middle position and only Yaichi Fukao called from the small blind.
Simon Britton: A♠4♦
Yaichi Fukao: A♦7♣
Both players agreed that they wanted a chop, but the dealer disagreed and delivered a board of 5♥J♠2♣J♣8♥6♥. Fukao's ace-seven won the pot and Bitton was eliminated.
