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.
The remaining 18 players are on a 60-minute dinner break. Play will resume at the 400,000/800,000 level.
Dean Cimera open-jammed for his last 3,700,000 from early position and action folded around to Alex Kim in the big blind who called.
Dean Cimera: 5♥5♦
Alex Kim: A♠6♠
Cimera just needed to hold, and he picked up a set on the 7♦5♣4♥ flop. It did also bring in the sweat of the open-ended straight draw for Kim, which came in on the 3♣ turn.
There was no coming back for Cimera on the 8♦ river, and he was eliminated in 19th place.
This hand was picked up on a flop of K♦2♠3♥ with 3,300,000 in the middle.
Joseph Baghdadlian checked with K♠4♦ from the big blind before Jacob Gagnon bet 1,000,000 from the cutoff with A♣8♥.
The 3♣ turn led to another check from Baghdadlian before Gagnon bet 2,500,000. Baghdalian called.
The Q♥ river led Baghdalian to go all-in. Gagnon folded to award Baghdadlian the pot.
Mark Newhouse opened to 8,175,000 from the small blind covering Halford Fairchild in the big blind. Fairchild called, and the pair went to showdown.
Halford Fairchild: Q♠Q♣
Mark Newhouse: 6♣3♣
There was little for Newhouse to work with on the J♣8♠7♦ flop. A A♥ turn and 2♠ river saw Fairchild lock up the double and Newhouse was left on just 4,000,000.
Antony Rubin raised to 1,300,000 with 8♥8♣ from under the gun. Joseph Liberta three-bet to 3,500,000 from the cutoff, and Rubin called in response.
Rubin checked the 6♥5♦6♣ flop before Liberta bet 2,000,000. Rubin stuck around with a call.
The K♣ turn led to another check from Rubin. Liberta kept up the aggression with a bet of 3,500,000. Rubin folded to award the pot to Liberta.
Ryan Eriquezzo opened to 1,200,000 from under the gun and Joseph Baghdadlian three-bet to 3,500,000 from the hijack. Eriquezzo four-bet jammed for his entire 9,675,000 stack and Baghdadlian snap called.
Ryan Eriquezzo: A♥A♣
Joseph Baghdadlian: A♦K♥
Eriquezzo held with very little sweat on the 2♥2♦9♥7♦Q♦ runout, to lock up the double.
Shmuel Hadad went all-in for 4,575,000 from early position before Joseph Liberta made the call to put Hadad at risk.
Shmuel Hadad: Q♦10♦
Joseph Liberta: K♣Q♣
Liberta had Hadad's hand dominated, but Hadad flopped outs when it came J♠A♥9♦ to gain an open-ended straight draw.
The 10♠ was not the card Hadad wanted as it gave Liberta a straight.
Hadad would be eliminated on the J♣ river in 20th place.
A.J. Allee opened to 1,200,000 on the button and Garry Gurevich three-bet to 3,750,000 from the small blind leaving just 500,000 behind. Allee just called, and the pair were taken to the A♥7♦3♠ flop.
Both checked to see the Q♠ turn and Gurevich moved in his last 500,000 and Allee snap called.
Garry Gurevich: A♦5♦
A.J. Allee: Q♣9♣
Gurevich just had to evade a queen or a nine, and he did just that on the 10♣ river to secure the double up.
Michael Monroig opened to 1,200,000 before Russell Rosenblum three-bet to 8,975,000 from the small blind. Monroig four-bet enough to put Rosenblum all-in and he called to put himself at risk for 9,475,000.
Russell Rosenblum: A♦10♦
Michael Monroig: A♥K♣
The flop was bad news for Rosenblum when it came the 6♠K♦9♠ to give Monroig top pair.
The 8♥ turn gave Rosenblum some hope with a straight draw, but the J♣ river was all she wrote for Rosenblum as he was eliminated in 21st place.
Antony Rubin opened to 1,200,000 on the button and Seiji Sasaki moved all in from the small blind for his final 2,570,000. Rubin made a relatively swift call, putting Sasaki at risk.
Seiji Sasaki: A♦Q♠
Antony Rubin: 10♥8♦
The 3♦6♣J♠ flop saw Sasaki hold, and the Q♣ turn and A♥ river were also good for him and he kept his seat in the tournament.
