Jason Hickey: A♠K♠
Rute Jin: K♣K♥
Rough start for Hickey as Jin flopped a set on K♦2♦9♠, no runner-runner for Hickey as the board ran out J♣ on the turn and the 9♣ on the river, and he was eliminated in 10th place.

Mark Harken raised to 800,000 from the small blind, Ivan Uzunov went all in for 3,700,000 in the big blind, and Harken snap-called.
Ivan Uzunov: A♣9♣
Mark Harken: J♦J♣

Jeremy Halaska raised to 500,000 from middle position and Mike Holtz jammed for 4,130,000 from the hijack. Dustin Harrelson moved in from the big blind with the covering stack, forcing Halaska to fold.
Mike Holtz: Q♠Q♣
Dustin Harrelson: J♠J♣
Harrelson had the smaller pair and needed a jack to bust Holtz.
It didn't come for Harrelson as Holtz turned a full house on the 10♦10♠8♣Q♦4♣ runout, doubling up to nine million.
Rute Jin raised to 600,000 in the cutoff. Jason Hickey called from the big blind.
After a long series of shoves and fold preflop, the six-man table finally saw some cards.
The flop came Q♣6♦K♠.
Jin bet 450,000. Hickey stayed in it with a call.
The 2♣ hit on the turn. Jin fired again, this time 800,000.
Hickey studied the situation for a minute before sliding his cards into the muck.
Level: 33
Blinds: 150,000/300,000
Ante: 300,000
Nicholas Toralba raised to 375,000 from the button with just 5,000 behind. Mei Seow called in the big blind, and Toralba's final chip got into the middle on the 6♣A♣5♠ flop.
Nicholas Toralba: A♠8♠
Mei Seow: A♥9♠
Both players had top pair, but Seow's nine kicker ended up being crucial after the rest of the board ran out 6♠3♥.
Seow climbed to around 7,000,000, while Toralba was eliminated in 12th place.
Mark Harken led out for 500,000 from the big blind on the 3♦6♣8♠ flop, and Nicholas Toralba called from early position.
A 2♠ landed on the turn and Harken shoved for 1,385,000. Toralba tanked for quite some time before slamming in a call for most of his chips. Harken immediately let out a sigh.
"Good call," he muttered before the players tabled their hands.
Mark Harken: Q♠6♠
Nicholas Toralba: 10♥6♥
Both players had the same pair of sixes but Harken's queen-kicker had him well out in front.
The 7♥ river was clean for Harken to double up to almost six million, leaving Toralba with just a few big blinds.
Kevin Tucker opened shoved 810,000 from middle position, Mei Seow in the small blind went all in for roughly 6,000,000 and the big blind folded.
Kevin Tucker: 10♠10♦
Mei Seow: J♥10♥
Great spot for Tucker as the flop came 2♣A♦K♥, but the Q♥ on the turn gave Seow the nut straight, and the 4♦ on the river ended his deep run in the tournament.
