Action folded to Martin Kabrhel on the button who moved all in and had the blinds covered. The small blind folded and John Reiter called from the big blind for his tournament life.
John Reiter: A♠6♠
Martin Kabrhel: A♦Q♣
Reiter got no help on the 9♥4♦3♦ flop and when the J♦ peeled off on the turn he lost one of his outs. The K♦ made an appearance on the river and gave Kabrhel a flush, not that he needed it, to send Reiter packing and another bounty chip into Kabrhel's pocket.
Andrew Kelsall had his stack in the middle, at risk against Quirin Heinz across the table with the cards on their backs.
Andrew Kelsall: A♦10♠
Quirin Heinz: K♠J♣
Heinz found the only pair on the Q♣5♥6♦J♣3♠ runout, sending Kelsall to the rail before the bubble.
Calvin Anderson was all in on the button, at risk against Max Kruse in the big blind.
Calvin Anderson: K♦2♦
Max Kruse: 3♣3♦
Anderson hit a pair on the K♣8♣5♦ flop, but Kruse found a set on the 3♥ turn. The 2♥ river was not enough to save Anderson, as his stack and bounty was shipped to Kruse.
Level: 19
Blinds: 10,000/15,000
Ante: 15,000
The remaining 197 players are now on a 15-minute break.
Rafael Mota moved all in from early position for 77,000, and was at risk when Yibo Song shoved his larger stack.
Rafael Mota: A♣5♥
Yibo Song: A♥8♠
Song stayed ahead on the K♠Q♥3♥ flop, but Mota connected with the 5♣ turn to gain the advantage. The 5♦ river only improved Mota's hand, earning the double before break.
After Elijah Berg raised from the hijack, both blinds shoved all in.
Nolan Curatolo came first with 44,000 from the small blind, followed by Kaspars Butans and his 26,000 from the big.
Berg made the call.
Kaspars Butans: 5♦3♦
Nolan Curatolo: K♠Q♥
Elijah Berg: A♣J♣
The runout was particularly rough to Butans, who had the worst of it going in, but turned a pair of threes. The full board 10♦8♣10♥3♣2♣ would give Berg a runner-runner club flush to pick up the two bounties.
Kristen Foxen made it 24,000 to play from the hijack and was looked up by Vitalii Li in the big blind.
The flop came 7♠K♣6♣ and Li check-called Foxen's 13,000 continuation-bet for the 6♦ to come on the turn.
The action went check check as it did on the 5♥ river. Foxen tabled A♣Q♥ which was streets ahed of Li's J♦8♦ and Foxen was sent the pot.
