Antony Rubin opened to 650,000 from the hijack and met resistance when Francisco Trujillo called out of the small blind, and Jacob Gagnon joined from the big blind.

It checked around on the 5♥ turn to bring the 2♣ river. Trujillo bet 1,200,000 and was called by Rubin.

Trujillo showed K♠Q♣ for a pair of queens, which was good as Rubin mucked his hand in response.

Meng Dian Peng limped in from the small blind; Benoit Fiasson raised to 925,00 in the big blind, and Peng called. On the J♥4♣3♦ flop, Fiasson checked, Peng bet 500,000, and Fiasson called. Both players checked the 2♣ on the turn.

Peng bet a swift 1,600,000 on the K♦ river, and Fiasson called it off after some thought. Peng proudly showed K♠10♣ and grabbed his phone to take a picture of the situation, prompting laughter from the table.

Seiji Sasaki: A♠8♦

The flop did not help Rozhynskyi as it came J♦9♣Q♣ to keep Sasaki in the lead.

The 2♠ turn was a blank, and the Q♦ river was the final card Rozhynskyi would see in the tournament as he exited the area.

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Scott Stewart raised to 1,500,000 from middle position, leaving only 550,000 behind. Joshua Steinberg called, but after the rest of the table folded, he accidentally turned over his cards, showing the A♦10♦, thinking Stewart was all-in. This created an interesting dynamic as they took a flop.

The K♠10♥Q♥ came down on the flop, and Stewart jammed for his final 550,000. Steinberg called to put Stewart at risk.

Scott Stewart: K♥6♥ All in
Joshua Steinberg: A♦10♦

Stewart had outflopped Steinberg, but still needed to fade two cards to double up.

The 3♥ shut the door on the hand as Stewart upgraded to a flush. It was good for his sake that he did, as the A♠ peeled on the river to give Steinberg two pair.

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Akihiro Konishi was forced all-in from the big blind with just 250,000 remaining in his stack. Dan Hummer limped on the button before Min Ji did the same from the small blind.

Both remaining players checked the K♥3♦10♠ flop to bring the 8♣ turn. Ji got busy and bet 400,000. Hummer called.

The 4♥ river led to another bet of 400,000 from Ji. Hummer folded as Ji and Konishi went to a showdown.

Konishi managed to hit a pair with 10♥6♣, but it was no good as Ji showed J♥10♦ for a pair of tens with a better kicker to eliminate Konishi.

At another table, Michael Comisso also met his end to be eliminated from contention.
