Ryan Riess was seen shipping his last 340,000 into a pot of 375,000 from the big blind. The board had been dealt up until the turn and read 6♠K♥J♣10♣. Jeremy Hyman on the button tanked for several minutes before he called to put Riess at risk.
Ryan Riess: 6♥6♦
Jeremy Hyman: K♦8♣
Hyman's top pair had no outs remaining against Riess' set, and the 10♥ river upgraded the 2013 Main Event champion to a full house, doubling him up in style.
Phong Nguyen raised to 40,000 from under the gun to see Ryan Leng in the hijack, Lucas Bandeira on the button, Raul Reyna in the small blind, and Antonios Onoufriou in the big blind all call.
The flop rolled out 9♥8♥7♣, and action checked around to Nguyen, who bet 105,000 to see Leng move all in for 215,000. Bandeira raised to 400,000 to see Reyna and Onoufriou quickly fold while Nguyen went into the tank.
"How do I fold this?" lamented Nguyen as he pondered his decision. After some more thought and muttering, he tossed away his hand.
Ryan Leng: 9♠8♠
Lucas Bandeira: J♠10♣
Leng's two pair was behind Bandeira's flopped straight, but the turn 8♣ saw Leng exhale a sigh of relief as he filled up to improve against the straight. The river 4♦ was a mere formality, and the three-time WSOP bracelet winner survived.
Patrick Leonard raised to 40,000 in middle position and was called by Ognyan Dimov on the button, as well as John Jason Brown and Jonathan Weekes in the blinds.
The flop came A♦4♣9♣ and Leonard bet 80,000. Dimov called and Brown folded, while Weekes then moved all in for 170,000. Both Leonard and Dimov called.
Leonard and Dimov checked down the 3♦ turn and 6♠ river. Weekes then showed A♥4♦ for two pair and Dimov mucked J♥9♥, while Leonard also flashed the A♠ as he sent his cards into the muck.
Marcel Luske was down to just a few chips, which he committed to the pot from middle position. Cutoff Thomas Cullis and Miguel Riera on the button then created a side pot, and the 2♦J♠9♥ flop was fanned.
Cullis bet 50,000, quickly getting Riera to fold.
Marcel Luske: Q♣9♦
Thomas Cullis: 10♥10♦
Luske had flopped a pair, but it was not enough yet to conquer Cullis' tens. Luske received no further help on the 8♦ turn or 7♥ river, sending the Dutch poker legend to the exit.
A few hands later, Jacob Baumgartner was also eliminated from this table.
With the full board reading 4♥Q♦10♦10♣8♥ and approximately 160,000 already in the pot, Florian Gaugusch had 300,000 already committed from the big blind when Maxime Chilaud moved all in from the small blind, comfortably covering him for his last million.
Faced with a decision for his tournament life, Gaugusch went deep into the tank. Eventually, Mason Vieth called the clock, much to the dismay of a few tablemates who felt Gaugusch hadn't been given enough time.
The floor staff arrived and began the countdown. The clock ticked, and Gaugusch's hand was ruled dead as the clock hit zero.
As Chilaud dragged in the pot to climb to around four million in chips, he said to Vieth, "I think because I took so long to raise, it felt like he took a long time."
Gaugusch appeared unfazed by the ruling, simply responding, "I felt like it was just a few minutes."
Vieth, sporting a bright blue hat emblazoned with "The Milkman" across the front, continued, "Y'all never have to call the clock on me. I won't take more than one minute for a decision, I promise." He then capped it off with, "I'm already tilted, I got put on a European table," getting some laughs from the international mix of players at the table.
Ryan Miller raised to 40,0000 in the hjiack. Samuel Ick called on the button before Brian Hastings moved all in for 435,000 from the small blind. Qiang Xu called in the big blind, forcing Miller to fold A♠10♦ and Ick to muck 7♠7♦.
Brian Hastings: A♣K♥
Qiang Xu: 9♠9♣
Xu flopped a set on 9♦8♦Q♦ and left Hastings drawing dead after the 8♣ turn gave him a full house. The meaningless 6♠ river was dealt as Hastings was already halfway to the exit.
Picking up the action with roughly 500,000 already in the pot, Farid Jattin checked from the big blind on a 6♠K♠7♦J♣ board. Caitlin Comeskey bet 420,000 in early position, sending Jattin deep into the tank.
After a fair amount of time had passed, the clock was called, and Jattin was given 30 seconds to act. As the clock ticked down to around four seconds, Jattin moved all in for around 2,700,000, more than enough to cover Comeskey's remaining 1,100,000.
"What time does the T.O.R.S.E start?" Comeskey asked, receiving no response.
After she spent several minutes thinking it through, she decided to fold.
Jattin wasted no time at all in windmilling the 5♣ across the table.
Shaun Deeb made it 40,000 to go as first to act. It folded to Hossein Ensan on the button, who called, and Marius Gicovanu came along from the big blind.
The trio checked through the J♣A♠8♣ flop as well as the 10♣ turn. It again checked to Ensan on the 8♥ river. He decided to bet 110,000, quickly folding out Gicovanu's K♥4♥.
Deeb raised to 410,000, however, sending Ensan into the tank. After some time, Ensan flicked in the call. Deeb showed J♦10♦ for two pair turned into a bluff, but Ensan had a straight with K♦Q♥ to rake in the sizable pot.
Jason Zarlenga had taken a tumble and was down to his last 150,000 chips. He was already all in from the big blind and covered by Todd Brunson who was in the hijack.
Jason Zarlenga: A♥J♠
Todd Brunson: K♥10♥
Brunson was behind but flopped well as the 10♠9♦9♠ gave him two pair. Zarlenga had some outs with the backdoor flush and straight draw, and the 6♠ turn brought him in another spade.
It all ended on the 10♣ river which saw Brunson end with a boat, and Zarlenga was left to leave the tournament area having been eliminated with around 490 players remaining, taking home $32,500.
Delmiro Toledo moved all in for his last 110,000 in the cutoff and Anton Wigg called on the button. Tasaku Maruo then reshoved for 200,000 in the big blind, and Wigg put him at risk, as well.
Delmiro Toledo: Q♦6♦
Tasaku Maruo: 10♠10♥
Anton Wigg: A♣J♣
Maruo remained ahead on the 3♣2♥6♠ flop, but Wigg hit the A♠ on the turn to take the lead. The A♥ river improved Wigg to trips, and both opponents were sent to the rail.
