The action was joined as Chance Kornuth was all in from the button, and had been put at risk by Brock Wilson.

Thomas Boivin: K♣3♠
Masato Yokosawa: Q♠J♣
The runout 7♠5♦10♥5♣2♠ missed both players, allowing Boivin to double up and stay in the event with his king-high.
Keyavash Hemyari moved all in from the button, and Elijah Berg called off his remaining 30,000.
Elijah Berg: J♠J♣
Keyavash Hemyari: A♣K♦
It would be a flip to decide Berg's fate, and he took a commanding lead on the 5♦J♥8♣ flop.
