After losing the previous hand, Phil Hellmuth said, "I'm tilted," before raising to 300,000 from the button. Nick Guagenti jammed for around 1,000,000 from the big blind, and Hellmuth beat him into the pot with a call.
Nick Guagenti: A♥7♠
Phil Hellmuth: A♦J♥
Guagenti was dominated by Hellmuth, but he picked up some chop outs on the A♣8♣8♠ flop.
The 9♠ turn was no help to Guagenti, and neither was the 6♦ river. The two players fist-bumped before Guagenti's chips were pushed across to Hellmuth, ending his run in 15th place.
Josh Norvock jammed in his stack of 610,000 under the gun. Nicholas Palma called on the button, and the pair showed down.
Josh Norvock: 10♦8♠
Nicholas Palma: A♠7♠
Norvock leapfrogged Palma on the 8♥Q♥J♠ flop. Palma gained some outs on the 7♦ turn, but the 8♣ river made Norvock trips to double up.
Darren Rabinowitz raised to 240,000 from middle position, and Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind.
Hellmuth checked the 6♠J♦6♣ flop, and Rabinowitz fired a continuation-bet of 175,000. Hellmuth instantly check-raised to 350,000, which Rabinowitz called.
Hellmuth checked before seeing the 4♠ turn, and Rabinowitz checked behind. The A♠ completed the board, and after two more checks, Hellmuth tabled 9♣9♠ for a pair of nines. Rabinowitz revealed the winner with A♦10♦ for a rivered pair of aces.
Hellmuth immediately sprang to his feet and launched into a profanity-laced tirade.
Rabinowitz wasn't smiling at winning the pot, but instead he was over the moon at being sworn at by Hellmuth
"Yes, yes, it's happened to me!" he exclaimed, thrilled to have finally been on the receiving end of one of Hellmuth's trademark outbursts.
Hellmuth continued to voice his opinion of Rabinowitz as the next hand was dealt.
From middle position, David Peters raised to 1,145,000, leaving a single T-5,000 chip behind. One seat to his left in the hijack, Darren Rabinowitz moved all in, which received quick folds from those still to act behind him. Peters gave it a moment to see if anybody was at risk at the other table, but then flicked in his final chip.
David Peters: 5♠5♦
Darren Rabinowitz: A♥K♠
The K♦Q♦10♥ flop left Peters in a dire situation, and when he was unable to regain the lead across the 10♠ turn or 7♥ river, he was eliminated in 16th place.

Oliver Bosch raised to 250,000 from early position, and Josh Norvock jammed for just over two million from the hijack. When the action got back to him, Bosch called for his remaining 1,230,000, putting himself at risk.
Oliver Bosch: K♠J♠
Josh Norvock: 9♦9♣
Bosch took the lead in the coin flip by pairing his king on the K♦5♦3♥ flop.
Norvock couldn't find a nine on either the 2♦ turn or the 8♥ river, and he had to send over more than half of his stack to Bosch.
Phil Hellmuth raised to 300,000 on the button, and Nick Guagenti called in the big blind.
Before the flop had been dealt, Hellmuth bet out of turn, enough to put Guagenti all in for his remaining 290,000.
"It's on me, Phil", Guagenti told Hellmuth.
The dealer spread a 4♣10♣5♥ flop, and Guagenti put his remaining chips into the middle.
Nick Guagenti: 6♠6♥
Phil Hellmuth: A♦10♥
Guagenti was up from his seat, looking to hit one of his two immediate outs, and he did just that on the 6♦ turn card.
"Daddy's back", he said as he sat back down and counted his stack, letting Hellmuth know how much he was due.
The dealer completed the board with the A♣, and Hellmuth sent Guagenti his newly earned chips.
In a limped pot to the 3♠2♠Q♦ flop, both Giorgiy Skhulukhiya and Joshua Stewart checked. Small blind Skhulukhiya checked again on the 6♠ turn, prompting Stewart to toss in a bet of 165,000.
Skhulukhiya called after some thought, and the 7♦ river was subsequently checked to showdown. Skhulukhiya tabled K♦J♠ for king-high, meaning Stewart's 9♣3♣ was good enough to rake in the pot.
