Chris Hunichen: 9♣2♣ / 2♠2♦8♠Xx / Xx
Gregory Josephson: 5♥5♣ / 8♦3♠5♦Xx / Xx
James Cheung: XxXx / 6♥J♠2♥ - folded on fifth street
Action picked up three ways on fourth as Hunichen led with open twos and both opponents called.
On fifth, Hunichen led again, Josephson raised, and Cheung folded. Hunichen three-bet, and Josephson four-bet as he offered, "Wanna just get it all-in now?"
Hunichen replied, "You really like your hand that much?" as he took inventory of his remaining chips. He put in the rest of his stack and the hands were tabled.
Josephson made trip fives on fifth against the trip deuces of Hunichen. Josephson did not improve and Hunichen caught the 5♠ followed by the Q♦ and his run ended in 25th place.
Alan Morgan: 3♠3♣/5♣7♣7♦6♣/9♥
Brian Yoon: J♦10♠/10♣K♥4♦J♠/A♥
Brian Yoon completed and was raised by Alan Morgan. Action folded back to Yoon, who checked out Morgan's short stack before raising again to put Morgan all in. Morgan called and boards were run.
Yoon was ahead with his split tens, but Morgan caught a pair of sevens on fifth street to take the lead.
It didn't last long however, as Yoon caught a jack on sixth to retake the lead.
Nothing of consequence happened on seventh street and Morgan wished his tablemates good luck as he exited the tournament area.
Todd Barlow: XxXx / 7♦7♠K♥J♦ / Xx
Ilkka Heikkila: XxXx / Q♠Q♣10♣8♠ / Xx
Action picked up on fourth with both players making pairs as Heikkila led and Barlow called after some deliberation.
Heikkila led again on fifth before he elected to check-call a bet on sixth.
On seventh, Heikkila took a moment before he checked and Barlow checked back immediately. Heikkila tabled A♠K♠9♠ in the hole for an ace-high flush which he made on seventh. Barlow couldn't beat and he mucked to be left on a short stack.
Justin Smith: 10♥9♣5♦/10♦J♣8♣5♣
Korey Simeone: 7♣7♦6♥/5♥8♥Q♥Q♠
Bradley Jansen: 8x6♠3♥/7♥4♣A♥4♦
Justin Smith completed with his ten and was called by Korey Simeone and Bradley Jansen.
Smith wagered his last 6,000 on fourth street and both Simeone and Jansen called.
Both players then proceeded to check down on fifth through seventh and Simeone revealed his hole cards for queens and sevens.
Jansen showed before mucking and Smith showed he held tens-up for an inferior two pair to be eliminated.
Michael Bellantoni: 10♥10♠/3♦6♥A♥4♦/7♠
Chris Hunichen: A♠A♦/3♥5♣4♣9♠/2♦
Heads-up on fourth street, Michael Bellantoni called a bet from Chris Hunichen and then raised a bet from Hunichen on fifth. Hunichen raised again to put Bellantoni all in and Bellantoni called.
Hunichen was well ahead with his aces, and the runout further improved him to a wheel — eliminating Bellantoni from the tournament.
Parth Jha: XxXx / Q♣6♠5♣ - folded on fifth street
Gregory Josephson: XxXx / 9♠A♠K♣J♣ / Xx
Christopher Viox: XxXx / 6♦8♦4♣2♠ / Xx - folded on seventh street
Chris Hunichen: XxXx / A♣6♣10♠9♣ / Xx
Action picked up four ways to fifth street as Josephson bet into the field. Viox and Hunichen called while Jha got out of the way.
Sixth street checked through and it checked all the way to Hunichen on seventh who bet. Josephson announced a raise and Viox quickly folded. Hunichen went deep into the tank before he begrudgingly flicked in the call.
He got shown the bad news as Josephson tabled K♥K♦9♥ in the hole for kings full. Hunichen showed that he made a ten high straight with A♦8♠7♥ as he fell on the wrong side of the cooler.
Scott Seiver: XxXx/Q♣5♥8♠7♣/Xx
Jonathan Glendinning: XxXx/A♥7♥9♠4♠/Xx - folded on seventh street
Jonathan Glendinning completed with his ace and called a raise from Scott Seiver.
Seiver called a bet from Glendinning on fourth street and then checked on fifth, prompting a bet from Seiver. Glendinning announced a raise and Seiver immediately made it three bets to go, which Glendinning called.
Glendinning then called a bet from Seiver on sixth, but let his hand go after a lengthy tank when Seiver bet again on seventh.
At other tables, Ryutaro Suzuki, Brian McKain, and Martin Zamani were all eliminated.
