Jose Ramos opened to 160,000 and got three callers in Quan Tran, Jerome Dumayet in small blind and Nick Guagenti in the big blind.
The flop came down 4♠J♥7♥ and all players checked. On the turn 10♣, Guagenti shoved all-in for 200,000 and only Tran called.
Nick Guagenti: 10♠10♥7♦2♠
Quan Tran: K♣9♥8♣5♥
Guagenti was ahead on the flop with his pocket tens but caught a set on the turn. On the other, Tran who had a double belly straight draw completed his straight pushing him in front, potentially eliminating Guagenti from the tournament. The board paired with the 4♣ reverting the lead back to Guagenti with a full house.
Guagenti scooped the pot for a double, happy to continue his tournament run.
Lawrence Brandt raised to 250,000 from early position, only for Nelson Chelini to three-bet to 500,000 from middle position. Brandt called, and the players saw the flop of 7♠A♦9♦.
Chelini announced "Pot" and pushed out the pot bet of 1,250,000. Brandt checked how much Chelini had behind and then raised enough to put him all in. Chelini called.
Nelson Chelini: A♣K♣Q♥5♥
Lawrence Brandt: A♥J♦10♣4♦
The 10♦ dropped on the turn to make Brandt a flush and leave Chelini drawing dead. The irrelevant 6♣ came on the river to seal the deal, and Chelini was sent packing whilst Brandt pulled in the massive pot.
Vincent Moscati raised from the cutoff to 360,000, and Lawrence Brandt three-bet pot to 1,200,000 from the button. David Daniels in the small blind then four-bet all in for 2,100,000. Moscati folded, and Brandt snap called:
David Daniels: A♣A♥8♣2♣
Lawrence Brandt: Q♦J♥J♠8♥
A jack came as the door card on the J♣K♦8♦ flop, and it was looking grim for Daniels. The 4♦ turn did not help him at all, and when the 10♦ peeled off on the river, it was curtains for Daniels and he was sent to the cage.
