Paul Volpe raised to 4,000 in middle position, Robert Wells moved all in for 23,000 in the cutoff, and Volpe called.
Robert Wells: 7x5x4x2x 
Paul Volpe: 8x5x4x2x
Both players drew one, and Volpe caught a 10x to make a 10-8. Wells peeled his last card, but it was an Ax to seal his elimination.
The 9♥ that should've gone to Chris Moneymaker was exposed during the deal, and Moneymaker was given a new card.
Brian Rast raised to 4,000 in middle position and Moneymaker three-bet to 11,000 in the hijack. Rast then moved all in for 48,000, and Moneymaker snap-called.
Brian Rast: 9x8x5x4x2x
Chris Moneymaker: 7x6x5x4x2x
Rast patted his 9-8, but he ran right into Moneymaker's 7-6. "No matter what card he got, you were dead," tablemate Shaun Deeb said to Rast.
"Wow, a dealer error that didn't matter," Rast added on his way to the rail.
Alexander Wilkinson raised to 4,000 under the gun and Jennifer Harman called in the hijack. Terrence Chan then moved all in for 7,500 in the small blind, and both opponents called.
All three players drew one. Wilkinson then checked to Harman, and she bet 12,000. Wilkinson quickly folded.
Harman showed 9x7x6x5x3x. "I'm live," Chan said, revealing 8x7x4x3x as he peeled his last card, but he caught a Kx and was sent to the rail.
Chance Kornuth was all in for 31,000 and up against Nick Schulman. Both players drew one.
Chance Kornuth: 8x7x4x2x
Nick Schulman: 7x4x3x2x
Schulman's cards were all hearts, and he discarded the 5♥ that gave him a wheel but also a flush. Kornuth paired with a 7x, while Schulman caught yet another 5x on his last card to get back his wheel and send Kornuth to the rail.
"Make sure to put that it was meant to be," tablemate Chino Rheem said.
Keith Lehr raised to 3,500 in the hijack before Frank Kassela three-bet to 8,500 on the button. Lehr then four-bet to 23,500, Kassela moved all in, and Lehr called for 85,000.
Keith Lehr: 7x6x3x2x
Frank Kassela: 10x8x7x3x2x
Lehr tossed a 10x away as Kassela stood pad with his 10-8. Lehr peeled his last card, which turned out to be a 6x to give him a pair and earn Kassela the knockout.
"Sometimes poker just plays itself," Kassela said.
Shaun Deeb was seen committing his 60,000 or so chips against Paul Volpe. Volpe turned over 8x6x5x4x2x, narrowly besting the 8x7x5x4x3x of Deeb to send the 2025 WSOP Player of the Year to the rail.
Eli Elezra raised to 2,300 as first to act. Fellow Hall of Famer Chris Moneymaker called in middle position, as did Bradley Jansen on the button and Hye Park in the big blind.
Hye then took two cards on the draw, Elezra stood pat, and Moneymaker and Jansen each drew one. It checked to Moneymaker after, who piled in 13,000 chips.
Jansen quickly got out of the way, but Park called after some thought. Elezra opted to muck his pat hand, and Moneymaker showed 8x6x5x4x3x for the winning hand.
Over at another table, Jon Shoreman was seen losing his all-in, with his chips ending up in Dylan Smith's stack.
Taylor Paur raised to 2,500 on the button, Safiya Umerova moved all in for 18,000 in the small blind, and Paur called.
Umerova threw away a Qx, while Paur discarded a Ax as they each drew one.
Safiya Umerova: 7x6x3x2x
Taylor Paur: 8x7x4x2x
Paur drew first and caught a 5x to make his 8-7, while Umerova turned over a Jx and was sent to the rail.
Shaun Deeb had open-raised in middle position when he called hijack Galen Hall's three-bet to 7,000. Both players then drew one card, after which Deeb checked it over to Hall.
Hall piled in 16,000 chips, worth about half his stack. Deeb quickly put in the rest as well, sending Hall into a tank of several minutes. Eventually, he let his hand go to leave himself a stack of less than 20 big blinds.
During the hand, Christopher Vitch was seen standing up and leaving his seat as he had been eliminated on his first bullet.
