Antoine Sankari raised from the cutoff to 200,000, finding a call from Dustin Murphy in the big blind.
Murphy checked the 4♠A♥J♠ flop, and Sankari took a moment before continuing for 320,000. That was enough to produce a fold from Murphy, and Sankari collected the pot.
Asi Moshe raised to 200,000 on the button, and Chris Moorman announced all in from the big blind for 2,390,000.
The dealer confirmed the count for Moshe, who went into the tank. After calling an unofficial clock on himself after a few minutes of consideration, Moshe let his hand go and Moorman added to his stack.
Heads-up on a flop of K♠J♣6♦, Greg Ostrander in the cutoff bet 300,000 and Martin Jacobson in the big blind check-called.
Both players checked the 4♦ turn leading to the 3♥ river, where Jacobson led out for 350,000.
Ostrander eventually made the call, only to run into Jacobson's top pair with K♣Q♠.
Ohad Freund in the hijack jammed for 1,305,000. Dustin Murphy in the big blind went deep into the tank and called.
Ohad Freund: A♦4♦
Dustin Murphy: 8♠8♦
The board of 3♠3♣Q♠6♥K♥ kept Murphy's pocket eights in the lead, so Freund was eliminated. "Nice slowroll," Maurice Hawkins joked from the rail while talking to Murphy.
Dylan Weisman was all in, facing off against Dohyeok Kim on his left.
Dylan Weisman: Q♠J♠
Dohyeok Kim: A♠10♣
Weisman was calling for a queen or ten, but found neither on the 3♣8♣9♣3♠K♠ runout to end his tournament in 17th place.
Level: 27
Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 100,000
Methavee Taveekitvatee raised in middle position to 160,000, and John Juanda made the call in the cutoff.
Taveekitvatee checked the K♥7♣5♦ flop, and Juanda slid out a bet of 170,000. The call was made, and another check from Taveekitvatee followed the 9♥ turn.
Juanda fired 675,000 into the middle, and Taveekitvatee took some time before announcing a raise to 1,900,000. Juanda then took his time before moving all in. Taveekitvatee stuck in the quick call and the hands were revealed.
John Juanda: 9♣9♦
Methavee Taveekitvatee: K♣K♦
Both players turned over a set, with Taveekitvatee's kings in position for the knockout. Juanda missed the Q♠ river, ending his run in 18th position.
