Arthur Dore: A♣A♥
Dutch Boyd: K♠K♦
Dore found himself on the right side of the cooler and was poised for the double up as the board came 9♦4♣6♣2♦, but Boyd spiked the K♣ on the river to win the pot and send Dore to the rail.
Ren Lin got his last 80,000 into the middle from the button, at risk against Yubin Tao in the big blind.
Ren Lin: Q♠9♣
Yubin Tao: A♥9♦
Lin had the dominated hand as he pleaded for a Lady Gaga. Unfortunately for him, the A♠6♥5♥ flop left him drawing slim. The board ran out A♦4♣, and Tao improved to trips to eliminate Lin.
"See you at the strip club!" Lin said to the table as he departed the tournament area.
Malo Latinois raised to 25,000 in the cutoff, and Tsz Chau moved all in for 216,000 on the button. Garett Maybery then four-bet jammed his own stack from the big blind, which folded out Latinois.

Garett Maybery: A♠Q♣
The Q♠A♦5♣ flop provided Chau with a straight draw, but it wasn't to be, as the 7♥ turn and 8♦ river bricked out.
On a flop of A♠5♥3♥, Patrice Brandt got his short stack into the middle with Q♥9♥ against the A♥K♣ of Antonis Onoufriou.

Ho Lee: K♣J♣
Matthew Salsberg: A♣Q♥
Both players hit a pair on the A♠K♠6♣ flop, while Salsberg was ahead with his aces. The rest of the 4♣10♠ board was no help to Lee, and he was sent to the rail.
On a completed board of 4♣7♥9♦A♦6♥, with around 150,000 in the center. Robert Murphy checked from the big blind to Stephen Clemens under the gun.
Clemens then moved all in for 188,000, which sent Murphy in the tank. After some time had gone by, Murphy called to put his opponent at risk.
Clemens enthusiastically showed A♠6♠ for two pair, but his delight soon disappeared as Murphy opened A♥9♥ for an unexpected higher two pair to send him to the rail.
Augiuste Shastry pushed all-in for 109,000 from under the gun and Chung-Tang Lin moved all-in over the top from the next seat, all other players folded.

Aubrey Williams: A♣K♦
DJ Sharma: A♠J♦
"There's going to be a jack of diamonds in the window. Show me a jack," Sharma said before realizing that he held the J♦. "Show me a jack of hearts," he corrected.
He got his wish as the flop came J♠Q♠4♣ to give him a pair and the lead. "It's right there, boom!" he said, and the rest of the board ran out 3♥Q♣ to send Williams to the rail.
"That's what we do!" Sharma shouted as he raked in the pot.

Alfred Karlsson: A♠8♠
Arie Kliper: A♣10♦
"There is hope," Karlsson said while revealing his cards. But these hopes where quickly dashed by an A♦4♠ runout and he was eliminated.
