Thomas Clack raised to 800,000 in the hijack and faced a three-bet to 2,400,000 from Dylan Smith on the button. The action folded back to Clack, who opted to give it up.
A couple of hands later, Smith raised first in himself, making it 800,000 from the hijack. Only Mark Tropp called, defending his big blind.
Once Tropp had checked, Smith continued with a bet of 750,000 on a J♥K♠8♣ flop, which Tropp called.
The 7♦ played out the same way, as Tropp checked before calling a bet of 1,200,000.
The J♦ completed the board, and Tropp checked one final time. This time, Smith checked back before mucking his cards when Tropp tabled K♥5♥ for two pair.
In a blind on blind pot, Antonio Galiana bet 400,000 with 9♠8♥ on the flop of 2♣8♦A♥ and Lucas Jumalon raised to 1,000,000 with 10♦9♣. Galiana called.

Rami Hammoud under the gun opened to 800,000. Daniel Savas in the cutoff called but Jamie Shaevel in the. biography blind raised all-in for 5,250,000. Hammoud four-bet to 11,000,000 and he made Savas fold.
Jamie Shaevel: A♦A♣
Rami Hammoud: K♦K♣
After a flop of 10♦3♣9♥, Shaevel had a little sweat with the Q♠ turn. The 2♣ river completed the board and he doubled up.
Berkeley Yuan shoved for 9,050,000 from middle position. It folded to Patrick Leonard, who was in the small blind. He committed his stack of 5,275,000. Blake Barousse asked for a count in the big blind, but opted to fold.
Patrick Leonard: 10♥10♣
Berkeley Yuan: A♠K♠
It was a coin flip, and one that Leonard remained ahead in on the Q♥J♦2♣ flop. Yuan needed an ace, king or a ten to take the lead, and he found an ace on the A♥ turn to leave Leonard needing a king to stay alive. The 6♠ river completed the board and the Brit was eliminated.

The third level of Day 7 has concluded and secured another pay jump of $50,000 as only 32 players remain in contention heading into the next scheduled 20-minute break. Once they return, the blinds will be 200,000-400,000 with a big blind ante of 400,000 and this will be the penultimate level of the night. All players with chips at their disposal have locked up at least $265,000 for their efforts and the next pay jump occurs with 26 contenders still in the mix.
Below are some of the key hands in the previous level.
Jason Kornegay opened to 825,000 from under the gun. Daniel Savas in the small blind three-bet to 1,650,000 and Kornegay called.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♥K♥9♦ and Savas bet 1,650,000. Kornegay immediately raised all in for approximately 11,300,000. “All-in! He didn’t snap-call,” he said as he pushed his stack forward. He had barely finished speaking when Savas made the call.
Jason Kornegay: 9♣9♠
Daniel Savas: K♠K♣
Kornegay jammed with a set of nines but ran into a better set. The 10♥A♣ runout kept Savas in the lead and Kornegay, who was slightly covered, was eliminated.
