Action was picked up with Jonathan Etnyre and Matthew Moss engaged in an all-in showdown.
Jonathan Etnyre: A♠8♠
Matthew Moss: K♦Q♠
Etnyre was content with the tabled hands and watched the board get dealt standing. The board of 4♦J♠2♦9♥ was safe to the turn, but the K♠ fell on the river, pushing Moss ahead and ending Etnyre's run. Etnyre and Moss talked about the hand as the dealer pushed the pot towards the latter's direction.
Robert Gill was on the button and got it all in preflop with the covering stack against the short-stacked Jeffrey Thoney in middle position.
Jeffrey Thoney: A♦3♥
Robert Gill: K♠K♥
The flop came Q♣4♠10♠, with Gill's pair of kings still in the lead. The 7♥ turn and 5♥ river offered no help to Thoney, and his deep tournament run came to an end.
Chongxian Yang made it 800,000 to play from under the gun, and action folded to Andreas Tomazou in the big blind, who three-bet all in for about 2,000,000. Yang snap-called to put Tomazou at risk.
Andreas Tomazou: 5♥5♦
Chongxian Yang: A♦10♦
Not the flop Tomazou wanted, K♠A♣2♠, which sent Yang into the lead. Tomazou got no help on the 8♣ turn nor the 6♦ river and was sent to the cage.
Three players were engaged in a hand with Richard Yurich in the small blind already all-in for the 800,000 main pot, and Matthew Moss in the big blind and Robert Stull on the button still in the hand, creating a 390,000 side pot.
The flop came J♦J♣2♥ and the remaining active players checked.
Moss fired 300,000 on the 7♠ turn, and Stull called to see the last card.
On the river 7♥, Moss shot out another 450,000, which was enough to push Stull out of the hand and win the side pot.
Yurich was about to leave the table without turning over his hand when Moss tabled A♦9♥ and reminded him to show his, which turned out to be Q♦4♥.
Mehrdad Vahabi open-shoved in the hijack for 2,415,000, Jack Nathan called for 1,305,000 in the cutoff, and Emmanuel Mckenzie thought for a moment before calling in the big blind with the covering stack, looking for a double knockout.
Jack Nathan: A♥7♣
Mehrdad Vahabi: A♣J♣
Emmanuel Mckenzie: K♠6♠
The board of 5♥Q♦4♠Q♥J♠ ran out clean for Vahabi, and the pot was pushed his way. Nathan was sent to the payout desk in the last level before the dinner break.
Level: 34
Blinds: 200,000/400,000
Ante: 400,000
Jonathan Etnyre raised to 605,000 from under the gun, only for Mrityunjay Jha to move all in for 745,000 from the next seat. Action folded around to Daniel Daconti in the big blind, who called for less, and Etnyre made up the difference.
Daniel Daconti: A♦6♣
Mrityunjay Jha: 8♣8♥
Jonathan Etnyre: 10♣10♠
A clean runout for Etnyre of K♠Q♠Q♦7♠5♠, and he was shipped the pot while Daconti and Jha were sent home.
