The hand was picked up on the river with Tomas Mineika betting 12,000 from the small blind on a board of Q♣K♠2♠8♠3♦.
Gonzalo Almada moved all in from the hijack.
Mineika, who had a total of 39,000 chips, pondered a call for a bit before pushing them forward.
Tomas Mineika: Q♦Q♠
Gonzalo Almada: A♠9♠
Almada quickly tabled the nut-flush he made on the turn. Mineika tossed his flopped set into the muck, as he got up to leave.
Bryan Thornton open to 800 from middle position but Felipe Roldan to his left three-bet to 2,500. Mark Spradlin in the big blind raised again to 5,500. Thornton folded but Roldan called.
Spradlin continued for 5,500 on the K♥4♠10♦ flop and was called, then fired a second barrel to 6,000 on the 3♦ turn. Roldan called again.
Spradlin bet 5,000 on the J♣ river. Roldan raised for more than Spradlin's stack, and Spradlin snap-called off his last 25,100.
Mark Spradlin: A♦K♣
Felipe Roldan: K♠J♠
Spradlin seemed confident to win with top pair, but Roldan with two pair sent him to the rail.
James Rodriguez open-jammed for his last 3,400 from late position and Darrell Blodgett called on the button. David Hagmann also called from the small blind.
The 9♠7♣K♠ flop saw Hagmann check and Blodgett bet 4,000. Hagmann folded, leaving Rodriguez to see his fate.
James Rodriguez: A♣10♥
Darrell Blodgett: K♣J♦
James Rodriguez was hunting for an ace as when the cards were flipped he was behind to Blodgett's pair of kings.
The 6♦ turn and 6♥ river didn't change the outcome and Rodriguez hit the rail.
Around 10,000 was in the pot as Jared Jaffee and Benjamin Grise went to the turn on a board of K♥8♥9♦8♦. Jaffee then bet 6,400 from middle position, and Grise called in early position.
The river was the 8♣ and Jaffee moved all in. Grise quickly called for his last 30,000 and turned over A♠K♣ for a full house, but Jaffee had K♠K♦ for kings full to win the pot and send Grise to the rail.
Greg Mueller was seen scooping a monster pot against Christopher Musillo on a completed board of K♦5♥8♠Q♥6♥.
Christopher Musillo: KxQx
Greg Mueller: 8♣8♥
Mueller was in the cutoff with a covering stack and had hit a flopped set, while Musillo was at risk and made only top two pair to be eliminated.
In a single-raised pot to the 8♥6♥A♠ flop, Alex Kulev checked from the small blind to Ankit Wadhawan in the hijack. Wadhawan bet 700, which Kulev raised to 3,400.
Wadhawan called, after which both the 3♣ turn and K♣ river were checked to showdown.
Kulev tabled 6♠4♠, but his low pair was no match for the A♣7♠ of Wadhawan.
Jeremy Cohen opened under the gun and Megan Collins called on his left. In the hijack, Konstantinos Tsikopoulos squeezed to 2,100, and both opponents called.
Three-ways to the J♥10♣2♦ flop with 7,100 out there already, it checked to Tsikopoulos who announced all-in for his remaining 11,000. Cohen put in the call and Collins got out of the way.
Konstantinos Tsikopoulos: A♦K♦
Jeremy Cohen: 10♠10♥
Tsikopoulos had a gutter and backdoor flush draw against the flopped set of Cohen. The 6♥ turn offered no help to Tsikopoulos, and the J♣ river improved Cohen to a full house, ending the run of Tsikopoulos.
After two players limped in, one of them Mark Gregorich in the cutoff, Michael Alcantara committed his last 2,000 from the small blind. The initial limper folded, but Gregorich put Alcantara at risk.
Michael Alcantara: A♠J♦
Mark Gregorich: Q♣J♣
Alcantara had Gregorich dominated preflop, but the Q♥8♥3♣ flop gave Gregorich top pair to take the lead.
The 3♥ turn and 8♠ river provided no help to Alcantara, ending his Main Event run as Gregorich dragged the pot.
Behnam Patros raised to 800 under the gun and picked up three callers, including Neehar Banerji in middle position. Action then went on Daron Greenblatt in the big blind, who moved all in for 7,000.
"Where are my cards?" Banerji asked, realizing that they were no longer in front of him. A tournament official had to be called over, and Banerji was reminded to protect his hand.
Meanwhile, Patros reraised to 17,000, and the rest of the table folded. "I was always raising, even with you in the hand," Patros said to Banerji.
Daron Greenblatt: A♦7♣
Behnam Patros: Q♣Q♦
Greenblatt was looking for an ace to survive, and also picked up a straight draw on the 9♥8♦2♠J♥ board, but he missed the 2♣ river and was sent to the rail.
