A three-way showdown broke out preflop as Aaron Kupin from late position, David Siegel called off his stack for less with 60,000 in chips from the small blind, and Dario Sammartino for 33,000 from the big blind.
Dario Sammartino: K♥Q♦
David Siegel: A♦Q♣
Aaron Kupin: A♠5♦
Siegel had the best of it preflop, but Sammartino slingshotted into the lead when the flop came K♦K♠8♥.
The J♦ turn improved Siegel's chances to win the main pot with a gutshot straight draw, but the 7♥ river ended the matter.
Sammartino scooped the main pot to triple up, Siegel was awarded a side pot, while Kupin was left running nearly empty with just 8,000 in chips.
Kupin was eliminated shortly after to exit the tournament.

Brek Schutten jammed from under the gun for his last 55,000. Alex Keating took an inventory of how many chips players had at the table before he announced all-in for 157,000. The action folded to Frank Funaro, who jammed for 96,000 from the small blind to be at risk.
Brek Schutten: K♦Q♥
Frank Funaro: A♣A♥
Alex Keating: 8♦8♥
Funaro woke up with pocket aces at an opportune time, but needed to dodge two players to win the pot.
The flop came 5♦6♣10♥, which was safe for Funaro, but a dire flop for Schutten and Keating.
The J♣ did present an open-ended straight draw for Schutten, while Keating was still searching for an eight.
The 7♠ river bricked out to award Funaro a big pot.
