Yang Wang: A♣10♣

Vlastimil Pustina, Nicholas Palma, and Zdenek Zizka got all of their chips into the middle preflop, with Pustina looking to score two eliminations.
Zdenek Zizka: A♠Q♣
Nicholas Palma: K♦10♥
Vlastimil Pustina: A♥2♦
The 3♠4♥4♠ flop gave Pustina some added outs, but the 4♣ turn gave him one less street with which to find one. As if he already knew his fate. Zizka chucked his bounty chip over to Palma before the 10♦ river hit the felt, giving Palma a boat.
Neal Liptak moved all in for 35,000 from middle position and was looked up by Kent Stephens in the big blind.
Neal Liptak: 6♣6♥
Kent Stephens: K♥10♥
An interesting flrop came of 5♦7♥6♦ and gave Liptak a set but Stephens a flush draw. The 9♠ turn then gave Stephens a gutshot straight draw as well. However the 5♥ river filled Liptak up and he was sent the pot for a double up.
The hand was picked up with big blind Dragan Dimishkov, Ihar Soika, who was under the gun and William Givens, the button, all in preflop.
The board hit 8♦10♠K♦. Dimishkov checked. Soika bet 8,000. Givens raised to 23,000.
After Dimishkov folded, Soika moved all in. Givens made the call with his last 50,000 chips.
William Givens: Q♦6♠
Ihar Soika: A♣A♥
Soika's pair of aces were up against Givens' flush draw and random backdoor possibilities. Well, the turn and river being Q♥Q♠ brought in one of the oddities, as Givens took down the pot with trip queens.
Arieori Miller moved all in under the gun with 35,000. After one limper call, Fahredin Mustafov, the chip leader att he table, raised all in, which forced a fold.
Arieori Miller: 8♦8♠
Fahredin Mustafov: 10♥2♦
The runout of K♠7♥4♠J♥2♣ was a clean one for Miller, leaving his pair of eights as the best hand and giving him a desperate infusion of chips.
A three-way all-in put two players in jeopardy entering the flop.
Daniel Swartz: Q♠J♠
Elisha Maarek: A♠K♣
Michael Amato: Q♣Q♦
The runout 9♣K♦2♣7♣8♥ his Maarek's king, giving him a double-up and knocking Swartz out of the event.
