Maksim Pisarenko: A♦9♣Xx / 2xK♦A♥3♠ / Xx
Ahmed Mohamed was already all-in on fifth street when facing three opponents and a bet by Yuval Bronshtein was called by Maksim Pisarenko while Ali Eslami folded. Bronshtein's bet on sixth and seventh was called by Pisarenko once again, the final bet very reluctantly.
"I have clubs and a low," Bronshtein said and tabled his 9♣5♣7♦. Mohamed had fives full of eights to win the smaller main pot while Pisarenko windmilled his three down cards very high before they hit the felt.

Andres Korn: XxXx / 6♥5♥2♦4♦ / Xx
Timothy Frazin: XxXx / Q♥4♣8♦J♥ / Xx
Brandon Hawkins: XxXx / 7♣8♥J♣J♦ / Xx
Andrew Korn was all-in for his final 7,100 on third, called by Timothy Frazin and Brandon Hawkins.
Frazin check-called a bet on fourth. Fifth street checked through, Hawkins led on sixth, and seventh checked through again.
Frazin tabled K♣Q♣3x in the hole for a pair of queens, and Hawkins had just the pair of jacks as he mucked, sending the side pot to Frazin. However, Korn revealed 10♦6♠6♣ in the hole, and his trip sixes secured the full triple-up.
Eli Elezra: K♣K♦ / K♥7♥5♣8♠ / 7♦
Liam Murphy: 10♠9♣6♠ / J♠2♠10♥K♠
By the time Eli Elezra and Liam Murphy got into a raising war on seventh street, Alfie Adam had already folded. Elezra had his four bets paid off by Murphy who revealed a flush while Elezra rolled over his kings full of sevens.
"I was rolled up and filled up," Elezra mentioned in the table chat.
Adam replied, "I started with ace three four five," before he hit two high cards to get out of the way.
Luke Schwartz: 7♥7♣ / 8♥10♣A♦J♠ / 10♠
Ariel Mantel: XxXx / 5♠Q♣ folded on fourth street
Ben Yu: A♠3♥ / 5♥4♥3♣6♣ / 3♦
In the previous hand, Ariel Mantel had chopped with Ben Yu and Luke Schwartz then completed. Mantel raised and Yu made it three bets, Schwartz called and Mantel did so as well.
On fourth street, Yu bet and Schwartz raised to force out Mantel. Yu then announced three-bets and Schwartz pushed his short stack into the middle with the words "a little more than 10,000." Yu reraised and Schwartz was then at risk with sevens in the hole.
Yu had the low on sixth street already and improved to trips treys on seventh. Schwartz had some outs to improve but only made tens and sevens to quickly leave the tournament area.
John Juanda: XxXx / 3♦8♣8♥
Bradley jansen: K♥3♠9x folded on fifth street
James Davis: XxXx / 2♣J♣6♠ folded on fifth street
John Juanda completed with a trey and was called by Bradley Jansen as well as James Davis. The latter check-called on fourth street when Juanda bet and Jansen called. Once Juanda paired his eight on fifth street and bet, both opponents quickly folded.
Benjamin Lazer: XxXx / 5♣7♠4♠2♥ / Xx
Ali Eslami: XxXx / K♠3♣2♠6♠ / Xx
On fourth street, Ali Eslami checked, Benjamin Lazer bet, Eslami raised, and Lazer called.
Eslami then opted to check-call the rest of the way as Lazer caught more low cards, calling bets on fifth, sixth, and seventh. However, he got the bad news as Lazer tabled A♦3♠3♥ in the hole for a wheel, and Eslami tapped the table as he mucked his hand, in what is one of his first tournaments of the summer.
Philip Sternheimer: 8♦5♦ / 2♦9♥8♣J♥ / Xx
Bryan Pimlott: XxXx / 3♣2♥6♥10♣ / Xx
Max Pescatori: XxXx / A♠3♥Q♦4♥ / Xx
Philip Sternheimer found himself all-in on third with multiple bets going into the middle on this street.
A bet went in from Bryan Pimlott and Max Pescatori on the side pot on fourth and fifth, but sixth and seventh checked through.
Pimlott tabled A♣J♣5♠ in the hole for six-five low, and Pescatori had A♥K♦9♣ for a lone pair of aces.
Sternheimer slowly peeled his final card baccarat-style, as he needed to improve upon his one pair of eights. A two-across heart was promising, and it was the 5♥, giving him two pair to win the high for the main pot and survive.
