The WSOP has moved the final three tables to the streamed feature tables area, which means our live reporting will have to be delayed around 2.5 hours to match the stream, per the WSOP media guidelines. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Jed Friedman opened to 2,000,000 from under the gun with 10♣8♣. A.J. Allee, who was sitting to his direct left, moved all in for his 1,300,000. Action folded to Meng Dian Peng in the hijack, who called the 2,000,000 open from Friedman with A♥4♥.

A.J. Allee: A♣3♣
Michael Monroig: A♦K♥
Allee needed to find some help but the 9♦2♥K♦ flop didn't give him anything to work with. The Q♠ turn and 6♥ river saw to his elimination, and he hit the rail in 14th place.

Ryan Eriquezzo: A♠A♦
Jacob Gagnon: K♣9♣
The J♠J♣Q♣ flop gave Gagnon plenty of outs to crack Eriquezzo's aces.
The K♠ turn kept Eriquezzo out in front, and Gagnon was unable to find one of his outs on the 2♠ river to award Eriquezzo the double up.
This hand was picked up on the flop with 7,500,000 in the middle with a flop of 10♦8♠K♣.

Meng Dian Peng opened to 4,100,000 from under the gun, which was around half his stack. Michael Monroig three-bet to 7,000,000 from the hijack and action went back to Peng.
Peng pushed in his chips and was at risk for 8,100,000, and Monroig called.
Meng Dian Peng: A♥A♣
Michael Monroig: A♠J♠
The 2♣Q♠6♣ flop was good for Peng, although there were some backdoor flush draw outs for Monroig. The K♦ turn meant Monroig needed just a ten to take the pot, but the K♣ river saw Peng get the full double.
Michael Monroig opened to 2,000,000 from the cutoff before Seiji Sasaki called from the big blind, leaving only 600,000 behind.
Sasaki checked the 8♣7♣10♣ flop, which led to a bet of 600,000 from Monroig. Sasaki called to put himself at risk.
Seiji Sasaki: 5♠5♣
Michael Monroig: A♣2♠
Sasaki was ahead, but Monroig had plenty of outs to sink him.
The 10♥ turn kept Sasaki in the lead, but Monroig gained more outs as he could counterfeit Sasaki if the board paired again.
The river was a disaster as the 7♥ peeled to counterfeit Sasaki and eliminate him in 15th place. Sasaki earned $75,200 for his finish.
Antony Rubin was in the small blind with J♠10♠ and in a hand with Jacob Gagnon in the big blind, who sat with A♣4♠. Jed Friedman was also in from early position with 10♦8♦ and the three players were already on the K♥J♣6♠ flop with a 5,600,000 pot.
