In a pot worth 160,000, big blind Maximilian Schindler bet 60,000 on the 6♣3♣8♠ flop. Ryan Miller called in the hijack, after which the 3♥ was placed on the turn.
Schindler quickly put his opponent all in, but Miller elected to fold and leave himself just over 13 big blinds.
Scott Clements potted to 255,000 in the cutoff on a flop of K♥10♣2♣, Stephen Deutsch moved all in for 450,000 in the small blind, and Clements called.
Stephen Deutsch: A♦K♠4♥3♠2♦ 
Scott Clements: K♣Q♦J♠9♣8♣
Deutsch had flopped two pair to take the lead, and the 3♦ turn kept him ahead until the 9♠ fell on the river, giving Clements a straight and the bustout.
"Oh well, what are you going to do," Deutsch said as he headed off to the rail.
Earllier, Gary Bolden had busted at another table.
John Racener, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, and Dan Shak had created a pot of 145,000 when they saw the 3♠7♠10♥ flop. Racener checked out of the big blind, seeing Timoshenko bet 50,000 in middle position.
Shak then raised to 295,000, and Racener called off his last 50,000. Timoshenko did not need long before he folded, revealing the cards.
John Racener: A♠K♦8♠8♦3♦
Dan Shak: A♥9♠10♦4♥2♠
Shak made a flush on the K♥7♥ runout to send Racener to the rail. One hand later, George Wolff was eliminated from the same table as he followed Racener to the payout desk.
"F**K you, you Big O enjoyers," Martin Zamani, on break from the Super Turbo, yelled out as he walked past Scott Seiver's table.
"That doesn't sound like a guy with 12 left in a $10K," Seiver replied.
Meanwhile, Taylor Atchison had opened to 35,000 in early position and Seiver called in middle position. Sean Troha then reraised to 165,000 on the button, and only Seiver called.
The flop came K♥6♥10♦ and Troha moved all in. Seiver tanked for a minute, but he eventually called for an additional 160,000.
Scott Seiver: A♠J♣8♥4♥2♣
Sean Troha: A♦A♥Q♥9♣4♠
Troha showed down two aces, and Seiver was looking to complete a straight draw to stay alive. The K♠ turn and 10♠ river were no help, and Troha took the pot to send Seiver to the rail.
Scott Clements raised to 55,000 under the gun. Stephen Deutsch made it 180,000 to go in the hijack, which Clements called.
Clements then quickly pushed his remaining 210,000 in the middle on the 10♠2♣4♥ flop, and Deutsch called to put him at risk.
Scott Clements: A♥9♠8♥5♣3♣
Stephen Deutsch: A♠Q♥Q♣4♣2♦
Clements made nut-nut on the 6♥9♥ runout, securing a double-up to overtake Deutsch on the leaderboard.
David Benyamine raised to 55,000 on the button and Owais Ahmed called in the big blind.
The flop came 2♥3♠10♠ and Ahmed bet 130,000. Benyamine then moved all in, and Ahmed called for around 40,000 more.
Owais Ahmed: A♦K♣5♥5♣3♦
David Benyamine: A♠A♣Q♦Q♠4♥
The 5♠ turn gave Ahmed a set, but Benyamine also hit the nut flush. The river 6♦ was no help was no help to Ahmed, and Benyamine scooped the pot to send Ahmed to the rail.

The poker community asked, and the WSOP listened.
In a major shake-up to the Poker Hall of Fame, the induction process is shifting away from its traditional "winner-takes-all" format. A brand-new voting system has been introduced, paving the way for up to six of the eight nominees to be inducted in a single year.
Nominations are now open for the 2026 Poker Hall of Fame. Once the public determines the top eight nominees, the final decision will rest with the 33 living Hall of Fame members.
The 49 remaining players have been sent on another 15-minute break.
When they return, two more 60-minute levels will be played before Day 1 concludes.
