Brian Rast: XxXx / A♦8♦K♠Q♠ / Xx
Nacho Barbero: XxXx / 8♣3♣7♣K♣ / Xx
Barbero completed, Rast raised, and Barbero called. Rast led on fourth and Barbero called.
Rast slowed down with a check on fifth and called after Barbero bet.
On sixth, Rast check-called again despite Barbero showing four clubs, before seventh street checked through. Rast announced aces-up but Barbero replied, "No good," as he tabled Q♦7♥7♦ in the hole for trip sevens to win the pot.
Phil Ivey: XxXx/8♠3♣A♠8♣/Xx
Robert Wells: A♦5♠3♥/A♣9♠J♥A♥
Phil Ivey completed, Robert Wells stuck in a second bet, and Ivey called. Wells went on to bet every street up until seventh street, and Ivey called to showdown.
Wells revealed a third ace in the hole, causing Ivey to muck his cards and forfeit the pot.
Bryce Yockey raised all in for his last 80,000 first to act and Nick Guagenti three-bet from the cutoff. Everyone else got out of the way and hands were revealed.
Bryce Yockey: K♣Q♦
Nick Guagenti: K♥5♥
Yockey had Guagenti dominated and was in great shape to double, but the A♥3♠A♦10♣5♣ runout paired Guagenti's five on the end — which got groan from Yockey as he was eliminated in heart-breaking fashion.

Erick Lindgren: XxXx/5x9xJx8x/Xx
Brian Rast: 7x4x3x/6x9x2xJx
Erick Lindgren bet on fourth street, and Brian Rast called. Rast took over the betting lead on fifth street and bet. Lindgren called, and did so too when Rast fired on sixth street.
Lindgren was left with 50,000 on seventh street, which Rast put in as a bet. Lindgren mulled it over for 30 seconds or so before he shrugged and called off.
Rast revealed a seven-low, and Lindgren tossed his hand into the muck as he bubbled the tournament.
Per the players request in order to prevent stalling, hand-for-hand play will begin two spots off of the money and continue until the bubble has burst.
Jesse Klein raised in the cutoff, and Chad Eveslage three-bet his button. Klein called, and check-called Eveslage's bet on the Q♦8♣6♥ flop. The 7♠ checked through, prompting Klein to bet the 8♦ river.
Eveslage snapped him off for Klein to reveal 10♥10♣. Eveslage had the higher two pair with A♠Q♣, however, seeing him take down the pot.
Paul Volpe raised from the hijack and John Hennigan three-bet from the small blind. It was folded back to Volpe, who called all in for a bit over 100,000 total to put himself at risk.
Paul Volpe: A♥3♥
John Hennigan: K♦J♠
Volpe held the lead with his ace, but the 5♠8♠J♥ flop immediately paired Hennigan's jack to leave Volpe drawing slim.
The 2♠ turn nor 2♣ river helped Volpe and he was eliminated a few spots shy of the money.
