The dealer had already pulled the board in after awarding the pot to Imari Love, who was sitting in the big blind. His 10♠10♥ were still showing while Jay Bloom was making his way out of the tournament before the dealer even flipped over his A♠6♠. Love is now sitting on a stack of over 2,000,000, while the rest of the table explained that there would be a dead button, as Bloom had been sitting in the small blind.
William Soscia raised from the hijack to 100,000, Arie Kliper three-bet to 350,000, and Soscia four-bet all in for 530,000. Kliper called.
William Soscia: 9♣9♠ 
Arie Kliper: J♥J♣
The board dropped with 2♣6♠2♥6♦K♣, and Kliper won with the better two pair.
Jeffrey Copeland raised from early position to 50,000, Buck Bucceri three-bet to 150,000, and Guy Longworth called for all of his chips, 65,000. Copeland went into a deep, concentrated think tank and four-bet to 430,000. Bucceri folded.
Guy Longworth: 9♠9♣
Jeffrey Copeland: K♣K♦
Longworth asked for "A divine nine," but it did not fall on the board of 6♠5♠A♦6♦8♥, and Longworth was eliminated, as Copeland won with the higher two pair. Longworth also won a small side pot from Bucceri.
Stephen Austin opened to 60,000 under the gun, and when action folded around, small blind Clifford Pappas shoved all in for 565,000. Austin called, taking them to the ensuing showdown.
Clifford Pappas: 10♥10♣
Stephen Austin: A♥K♦
Austin needed one of his overcards to hit the board, but Pappas caught a set on the 10♦6♦Q♣ flop. The A♣ turn fell, and the Q♠ completed the board, making Austin shake his head.
Pappas scooped the pot for a double.
Jason Langianese raised to 70,000 from under the gun for Manish Madan to three-bet to 180,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Langianese, who shoved for 350,000 in total. Madan called with the bigger stack.

Marc Wolpert raised to 60,000 from under the gun, and Stephen Austin three-bet to 150,000 from the button. Donnacha Odea four-bet jammed for 525,000 in total. Wolpert considered it for a bit but reluctantly folded while Austin quickly called.
Donnacha Odea: J♠J♥
Stephen Austin: Q♠Q♣
The board ran out A♥10♠5♥6♦7♠ for Austin to hold with the higher pocket pair, while Wolpert claimed he had held an ace. Odea got up from his chair as the floor verified that he had finished in 40th place.

Chad Layne: 6♠6♦
David Hengen: 8♠8♣
Layne was looking at a potential double up with a set on the flop. The dealer completed the board with a 5♣ turn and a K♠ river, boosting Layne's stack to double.
Clifford Pappas raised from the button to 50,000, and Qing Lu called from the big blind. The flop came out with Q♠7♥2♥, and Lu checked to the preflop raiser, Pappas, who bet 30,000. Lu called.
On the turn Q♣, Lu checked, and Pappas put out 50,000; Lu called.
Both players checked the river 6♠. Lu flipped over 5♣5♠ for two pair and the win, as Pappas mucked.
Imari Love opened to 55,000 from the hijack. Marc Rivera in the cutoff raised to 200,000 and received an all-in shove for 215,000 from Jay Bloom in the big blind. Love got out of the way, paving the way for Rivera to call.
Jay Bloom: Q♣J♣
Marc Rivera: A♠10♥
Rivera's lead was strengthened when he caught a pair on the 10♣7♠2♣ flop. Bloom passed him and took the lead on the J♥ turn.
