Vo Ngo raised from the cutoff and Omar Mehmood made the call from the big blind. Mehmood check-called on the A♠8♥5♥ flop, the 9♠ turn, as well as the 10♣ river.
Ngo tabled A♦9♥ for two pair and Mehmood quickly mucked.
Dennis Weiss raised first to act and called a three-bet from Thomas Miressi, who was on the button.
Weiss check-called a bet from Miressi on the 2♥10♥J♦ flop, then check-raised a bet from Miressi on the Q♦ turn. Miressi called.
The 3♣ came on the river and Weiss bet again. Reluctantly, Miressi stuck in a call and Weiss turned over K♠9♣ for a straight.
Miressi showed J♣J♠ for a flopped set and mucked — awarding the pot to Weiss.
Action folded to Dennis Weiss in middle position who opened the action. Jorge Ufano three-bet from the cutoff, the blinds got out of the way, and Weiss made the call.
On the Q♠3♦6♥ flop and 5♦ turn, Weiss check-called bets from Ufano. Both players checked the Q♣ on the river.
Weiss tabled K♦6♠ for a pair of sixes, enough to win the pot as Ufano sent his cards into the muck.
Michael Lipner raised from under the gun and was three-bet by Patrick Leonard in the small blind. Lipner four-bet for his remaining chips and Leonard called to put him at risk.
Michael Lipner: 7♦7♥
Patrick Leonard: A♣K♦
The 5♠J♣6♦ flop was safe for Lipner, but the K♠ turn drilled Leonard's king to vault him into the lead.
No miracle came on the 5♦ river and Lipner wished his tablemates good luck as he exited the tournament area.
Vo Ngo raised from the cutoff and Michael Lipner put in a three-bet from the small blind, Ngo made the call.
The flop came J♥2♣K♥ and Lipner check-called Ngo's bet to see the 8♥ peel off on the turn.
Lipner checked to Ngo who bet out again. Lipner called.
On the 10♠ river, Lipner checked for a third time, and Ngo fired a third bullet. Lipner went into the tank for a short while before he mucked his hand to send the pot to Ngo with no showdown.
Level: 24
Blinds: 20,000-40,000
Limits: 40,000-80,000
The remaining 12 players are now on their final break of the day.
Dennis Weiss raised on the button and Gregory Sessler defended his big blind.
Sessler check-called a bet from Weiss on the 7♦8♥5♠ flop and then check-raised a bet from Weiss on the 5♥ turn. Weiss called.
The K♥ completed the board and Sessler bet nearly his remaining stack and was looked up by Weiss. Sessler turned over 5♣4♠ for trip fives and Weiss sent his hand into the muck.
"I got lucky," Sessler said as he collected the pot.
Gregory Sessler opened from under the gun before action folded to Paul Lenkeit in the small blind, who three-bet. Dennis Weiss then put in a four-bet from the big blind, prompting Sessler to fold while Lenkeit made the call.
With only 20,000 chips behind, Lenkeit committed the rest of his stack on the 5♥K♠Q♥ flop and Weiss quickly called.
Paul Lenkeit: K♦Q♦
Dennis Weiss: A♥9♦
Lenkeit was well ahead with two pair, kings and queens, while Weiss held ace-high. The J♠ turn gave Weiss additional outs, but the Q♣ river improved Lenkeit to a full house and locked up the pot.
Lenkeit secured the double-up and earned himself another shot at making a deep run in the tournament.
Three ways on a flop of 10♣10♠J♣ Michael Lipner had already made it two bets to go from the big blind and was called by Vo Ngo and Joseph Salorio.
The 9♣ turn brought three clubs on board and it was checked to Ngo, who bet. Both Lipner and Salorio called.
It was again checked to Ngo on the 6♥ river and he bet. This time Lipner got out of the way, but Salorio called.
Ngo turned over A♣7♣ for the nut flush and Salorio mucked his hand — sending the large pot Ngo's way.
