Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Daniel Corbett raised to 80,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 240,000 by Thomas Macdonald in the cutoff. Action folded back to Corbett, who announced he was all-in for approximately 1,200,000 total. Macdonald called, having Corbett slightly covered, and a showdown was held.

Daniel Corbett: JJAll in
Thomas Macdonald: AK

Corbett's tournament life was riding on a virtual coinflip, but the 6A34K runout favored Macdonald this time — eliminating Corbett late in the evening.

Reigning champion Michael Mizrachi had been grinded down to 365,000, which he jammed in from early position. He received a call from a player in middle position before 2019 WSOP champ Hossein Ensan rejammed in the small blind. The other player got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Michael Mizrachi: KQ All in
Hossein Ensan: AA

Mizrachi had no outs remaining after the 7797 turn. He shook hands with fellow Main Event champion Ensan as the 10 river completed the board, then left the feature table.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Thomas Cardona
Thomas Cardona

Shaun Deeb raised under the gun to 80,000, and only Thomas Cardona wanted to play from the small blind.

A round of checks happened on the 5A7 flop for the 7 to join the turn. Cardona immediately overbet jammed for 625,000, and Deeb went into the tank.

"What do you think I have?" Deeb asked Cardona. After about two minutes, Deeb called the clock on himself.

Before the counter got to zero, Deeb showed an ace and folded, prompting Cardona to show an ace of his own as the pot went his way.

Joseph Riley: AJ All in
Douglas Ferreira: AQ

Riley found some extra outs on the 68910 turn, picking up an open-ended straight draw, but the 8 river bricked out, making Riley the latest player to hit the rail.

Michael Banducci: QQ All in
Kyle Scott: KK

Wissing clapped his hands together after Banducci and Scott turned over their cards. "I folded jacks," he said. The flop came KQ9 to give both players a set, and Scott's kings stayed in the lead through the 4 turn and A river to send Banducci to the rail.

Congya Zhang opened to 80,000 from under the gun and John Weiss called from middle position. Action went back around to Martin Sgrilletti in the big blind who three-bet jam for their last 470,000 and Zhang opted to call. Weiss called behind, and the players went three-ways to the flop.

The dealer fanned the 4310 board and Zhang slowly checked. Weiss checked behind and the K was turned.

Action checked through the A river to showdown and all three players flipped their cards.

Martin Sgrilletti: 88All in
Congya Zhang: AQ
John Weiss: QQ

Sgrilletti was first to show his eights, which was soon overruled by Zhang's pair of aces. Zhang picked up the pot after Weiss tabled his pocket queens, leaving Sgrilletti to hit the rail.

Will Givens raised to 100,000 from middle position, with Sam Snead calling from the small blind and Alen Bakovic coming along from the big blind.
