With Dan Sepiol all-in from the big blind, Billy Tarango and Brad Albrinck saw the dealer put down a flop 6♣9♠2♣. Tarango and Albrinck checked for the Q♣ to hit the turn. Two more checks followed and the 5♥ dropped on the river. A final round of checks happened and the cards were revealed.
Sepiol showed A♠K♥J♣2♥ for a pair of deuces, but lost the pot and was eliminated by Tarango's K♦9♥8♦7♠ for a straight.
With around 130,000 in the pot, Jorryt van Hoof and Tara Dunn saw the dealer produce a turn on the board of K♠6♦2♠J♦.
Jorryt Van Hoof bet 20,000, which was enough to commit Dunn. Dunn immediately called, and after the action had finished at all the other tables, the cards were flipped up.
Tara Dunn: A♦K♥Q♣9♦
Jorryt van Hoof: A♠A♣A♥10♦
Van Hoof had aces, but Dunn had so many cards she could hit on the river to double-up and keep the tournament on the bubble. The 6♣ rolled off on the river, which wasn't what Dunn was looking for. Dunn headed to the rail as the last player to leave empty-handed, while the remaining 164 were all in the money.
As recounted from a video taken from a player at the table, Brian Rast opened the action by potting it to 18,000 under the gun. Chino Rheem then repotted to 62,000. David Williams flatted, before Brian Rast then potted again, just shy of putting him all in. Chino Rheem put in the rest of it in, Williams folded, and Rast made the call.
Brian Rast: A♦Q♣10♦7♣
Chino Rheem: A♣A♠10♠8♣
The 5♦5♠9♥4♦J♥ runout, ironically, sent Rast home very shortly after informing the table that the bubble was not the time to get it in. Rheem happily collected the chips and crossed the seven-figure mark.
With 165 players remaining, the tournament is now just one more elimination from the money. The floor staff have decided to go hand-for-hand from now on.
On the turn of a board that showed 4♥J♥6♦2♦ and with around 95,000 in the middle, Malik Hanna jammed for 72,000 from the big blind and the action was on Xixiang Luo. Luo was seated on the button and was visibly distressed by the spot he was in. After a short, intense stare down, Luo made the call to put Hanna at risk.
Malik Hanna: K♥K♠4♣2♥
Xixiang Luo: J♦9♠8♠2♣
Both players had two pair, but Luo's was better. Hanna had a flush draw and some other cards he could hit to win the pot. However, the dealer dropped the A♣ on the river, keeping Luo's jacks and deuces ahead, and Hanna headed to the rail.
