Arieori Miller opened to 20,000 from under the gun before Benjamin Chalot jammed for his final 72,000 from the cutoff, and Miller quickly called.
Benjamin Chalot: A♥J♣ 
Arieori Miller: 10♠10♥
It was coinflip scenario with Miller staying ahead on the 7♣4♠2♥ flop. Nothing changed on the 3♦4♥ runout as Chalot was sent to the rail by Miller.
Sam Soverel opened to 20,000 from under the gun before Albert Daher made it 65,000 on his left. In the hijack, Ben Tollerene cold four-bet to 165,000 before Soverel clicked it to 310,000. Daher folded before Tollerene called.
On the K♦9♥5♣ flop, Soverel continued for just 55,000 and Tollerene put in the call after burning through a time bank.
The turn brought the 3♣ as Soverel led again, this time for 95,000, and Tollerene laid it down rather quickly.

Bleznick called and both of them checked the 2♦ river, with Spitale turning over 10♠9♠ for ten-high. It was no good against Bleznick who turned over K♣J♣ for a pair of jacks which was good for the pot.
Action picked up heads-up to the 9♣7♠4♦ flop in a hand between David Einhorn from the big blind and Jack Roser from middle position. Einhorn checked to Roser who bet 35,000 before Einhorn put in a check-raise to 85,000 and Roser called.

Roser had flopped top pair as Einhorn went for the flop bluff, turned some equity, and jammed. Nothing changed on the 8♦ river as Roser held to eliminate Einhorn.

Hamada checked over to Peters on the board reading 9♥8♦A♦A♠K♠ and Peters bet 358,000 of his total stack of 359,000. Hamada went into the tank and burned two time extensions, eventually deciding to call.
Peters turned over 10♣8♣ for a missed straight draw, which was no good against Hamada's A♥3♠ for three aces.
"Wow you had to earn that one," tablemate Phong Turbo Nguyen said.
After being left with one chip, Peters was eliminated shortly after.
