Jack Benson made it 40,000 to go from early position and Richard Pierce jammed the button for about 250,000. Benson got an exact count from the dealer and then put in the call.
Richard Pierce: 9♣9♠ 
Jack Benson: Q♣Q♠
Benson's pocket queens stayed ahead on the 4♥J♦8♠2♥10♦ runout, meaning he won the pot and Pierce was eliminated.
Shahen Martirosian came in for a raise to 35,000 from under the gun, with Mark Warling calling from the hijack and Jeff Leonard coming along from the small blind.
After Leonard knuckled it over to Martirosian on the 2♦5♣9♥ flop, Martirosian fired a continuation-bet of 60,000.
The bet forced folds from both Warling and Leonard, helping Martirosian boost his stack over the seven-figure mark.
Brian Kay committed his 150,000 chips into the middle from the cutoff and was called by Michael Stansell from the small blind.
Brian Kay: A♣J♣
Michael Stansell: J♠J♦
Stansell needed to dodge an ace or some clubs to send Kay for an early shower.
However, the 9♣A♦10♠ flop catapulted Kay into the lead with top pair. No one-outer arrived for Stansell on the 5♠ turn or Q♣ river, and he had to send around half his stack over to Kay.
Level: 20
Blinds: 10,000/15,000
Ante: 15,000
Players have been sent on the final 15-minute break of the day and will return to blinds at 10,000/15,000 with a 15,000 big blind ante.
With just 75,000 in the pot on a board of 2♠4♠2♥8♠, Samuel Coen had 125,000 placed out in front of him on the button, and Peter Forsberg jammed from the cutoff for 526,000.
Coen went deep into the tank, mulling over whether to call or fold for several minutes. After agonizing over the decision a bit longer, he ultimately elected to fold, surrendering the pot to Forsberg.
Lenol Clark open-shoved in the cutoff for 56,000 and Kenneth Keppol three-bet to 100,000 on the button to isolate, resulting in folds from the players in the blinds.
Lenol Clark: A♠K♥
Kenneth Keppol: 10♠10♣
The flop came 8♦8♥8♠ with Clark still out in front. The turn brought the 3♦ and Clark was all but out the door until the K♦ on the river kept his tournament hopes alive.
Richard Pipe got it all in for 48,000 on the button against Peter Kamaras in late position, who covered.
Richard Pipe: K♦Q♥
Peter Kamaras: A♣10♦
Pipe pulled ahead on the 9♠4♥K♠ flop, pairing his king. The turn landed the 7♦ and the river fell the 2♠, earning him the double up.
