Antonio Ruelas got his 72,500 remaining chips in on the button against Masato Yokosawa in the hijack and was at risk.
Antonio Ruelas: K♠K♦ 
Masato Yokosawa: Q♠Q♣
Ruelas looked poised to double up, but Yokosawa found a queen on the 3♦9♦4♣Q♥ turn to take a massive lead. The 8♦ river did not bring a king, sending Ruelas to an expletive-filled exit.
One hand later, Michael Conoran open-raised in early position, and Jesse Lonis defended his big blind. After the 2♠2♥9♥ flop checked through, Lonis barreled 11,000 on the 2♦ turn.
Conoron called, and did so too when Lonis piled in 41,500 on the 3♥ river. Lonis tabled Q♠Q♦ for a slow-played pair of queens, but Conoron had better as he tabled A♠A♣ for pocket aces.
After the hand, Johan Guilbert sat down at the table, having been moved from a broken table.
"Ah, it's already the final table, I see," the jovial Frenchman said before he and Yokosawa reminisced about some previous encounters.
