Konstas then checked the K♠ turn. Ausmus bet 40,000 and Konstas called.

Ioannis Konstas: J♠4♣ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: A♥A♦

Konstas flopped two pair to crack the aces of Ausmus and got full value as he secured the double while earning some dubious looks from his table.

Brian Yoon: XxXx / 5♣Q♦ - folded on fourth street

Troha was forced all-in for 3,000 with his ante. Brunson completed and Yoon defended his bring-in. Yoon folded to a bet on fourth.

Brunson was well ahead with queens. Troha paired his nine on sixth before Brunson peeled the 4♣ on seventh to make two pair. Troha needed a king or nine to survive as all the queens were dead. Unfortunately for him, he peeled the 2♠ to make a lesser two pair and he was eliminated on the stone bubble.

Qiang Xu: XxXx / 10♠6♠2♣7♥ / Xx

Action picked up on fourth as a series of raises resulted in Becker being all-in with an already bloated pot with side action pending.

Xu was the aggressor the whole way, leading on fourth, fifth, and sixth as he was to the left of Becker's paired high board.

On seventh, Xu led for a final time, Phillips raised, and Xu reluctantly called.

"Flush," Phillips announced as he tabled K♣J♥5♥ in the hole. Becker had already gotten out of his seat once he heard the raise come from Phillips as he showed K♦J♦9♠ in the hole as he had three nines on fourth but could not fill up. Xu had K♠K♥7♦ in the hole for two pair, as he lost a huge one to Phillips.
