Action was picked up following the river, with a board of K♠5♠4♣K♥A♣ fully dealt.
Zurvan Tumboli's Q♠J♥ was no good against the K♦10♥ of Fred Li, as his tournament ended just shy of the final two tables.
Action was caught right before the turn was dealt, with Bryan Allen all in and at risk against Nadav Avrahami, with the flop 6♣3♥3♦ already dealt.
Bryan Allen: K♣9♣
Nadav Avrahami: A♦K♠
The 4♠6♥ runout signified the end of Allen's run, as Avrahami continued to increase his chip lead.
Joshua Abady moved all in for 900,000 from the cutoff, and small blind Atanas Pavlov rejammed, folding out the big blind.
Joshua Abady: A♦5♦
Atanas Pavlov: 7♦7♥
There was no miracle for Abady as the 6♠5♥J♥10♦8♥ runout came clean for sevens.
Level: 32
Blinds: 120,000/240,000
Ante: 240,000
Action folded to Bryan Allen in the small blind who open-jammed all in for 2,275,000 only for Brian Hill in the small blind to squeeze his cards and snap-call. It was Hill who was at risk.
Brian Hill: A♦10♥
Bryan Allen: Q♥4♠
No help for Allen on the 8♣9♠K♠3♠3♥ runout, and stacks were re-counted with Allen having Hill only slightly covered, and he was left with only 25,000.
Zurvan Tumboli went all-in from the hijack position before Danette Smith committed her stack of 700,000 from the small blind. Fred Li went all-in for 1,450,000 from the big blind, and Tumboli called to put both at risk.
Danette Smith: 7♦7♣
Fred Li: A♦J♠
Zurvan Tumboli: 8♥8♣
Tumboli had the best pair, but Li was drawing live with his overcards, while Smith brought up the rear with her pocket sevens.
The flop was a favorable one for Li when it came A♣J♣3♥ to give Li top two pair.
Smith found lightning in a bottle when the 7♠ turn came as she hit her two outer to improve to a set.
The 5♣ river completed the board as Smith secured the main pot with a triple up, while Li got his chips back by winning the side pot.
Tumboli was stuck paying the bill.
Kfir Nahum limped from under the gun, and action folded to Jacqueline Rosen in late position, who moved all in for 1,150,000. It came back to Nahum, who, after tanking for a while, called all in for 750,000 and was the one at risk.
Kfir Nahum: A♦7♠
Jacqueline Rosen: A♣K♠
Both players hit two pair on the A♠3♣3♥ flop, and Nahum had chop outs to stay alive or could hit a seven for a double-up. No luck on the 10♣ turn, and when the river bricked out with the 9♣, Nahum was sent to the rail.
Kfir Nahum moved all in from early position for just 150,000, and Jason Wheeler made it 675,000 to go on his left. Everyone else folded.
Kfir Nahum: 10♠7♠
Jason Wheeler: 5♥5♠
Nahum made two pair on the 2♠10♥7♥A♠8♥ runout to keep himself in the running.
Kfir Nahum moved all in for 3,450,000 from late position, and Jason Wheeler called all in for 3,300,000 on his left. All other players folded.
Jason Wheeler: 10♥10♦
Kfir Nahum: 6♦6♠
If Wheeler could've asked for any flop, it may well have been the 10♠10♣5♣ that was fanned out by the dealer, good for four-of-a-kind. Nahum was stone dead, making the 9♣J♣ runout meaningless.
Nahum banged the table with his few remaining chips, before muttering to himself as he was left with crumbs.
