Robert Stein raised all in from the cutoff with 365,000 chips. Todd Brown, who was on the button, shoved as well with his all-in for less at 240,000.
The blinds folded.
Todd Brown: A♠Q♠
Robert Stein: A♦Q♦
The twin hands started to look less and less alike as the runout of 6♥9♠7♠8♠3♥ unfolded. The final board handed Stein a nasty beat, leaving him with a single 25,000 chip.
Level: 23
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
The remaining 160 players are on a 15-minute break.
Thomas Schneider raised to 55,000, Thomas Cardona three-bet all in for 480,000 from the hijack, and Michel Abecassis four-bet all in for 510,000 from the button. Schneider folded.
Thomas Cardona: A♦7♦
Michel Abecassis: 10♦10♠
The board favored Abecassis with 7♥J♠6♦9♥2♦, and a pair of tens won the pot.
Play was already ongoing with Insoo Park in the small blind and Glyn Banks in cutoff with their chips and cards in the middle of the table.
Insoo Park: 2♠2♦
Glyn Banks: A♣A♥
The flop came 9♥2♣10♠ pushing Park ahead to the frustration of Banks. The dealer continued with an 8♦ turn and Q♦ river. The dealer pushed the pot towards Park's direction for a double-up.
Dave Wooster shoved for 190,000 over an early position raise from Lee Markholt, and Markholt put in the call to put his opponent at risk.
Dave Wooster: A♠J♠
Lee Markholt: K♦Q♥
The flop was a sweaty one, as 2♠Q♣3♠ gave Markholt the lead with top pair, but Wooster picked up the nut flush draw. He wasted no time in getting there, as the 8♠ turn fired him into the lead, and he picked up even more flush on the 9♠ river.
Action was picked up in a three-way all-in that involved William Murray, Brian Mckain, Bruce Novak.
Fred Goldberg and Jennifer Frankenstein, who witnessed it all, told PokerNews the action pre-flop. Mckain moved all-in for around 200,000 in early position and William Murray flat-called.
Bruce Novak in the big blind, replied with a shove all-in for 600,000 and Murray, called once again, taking all three players to the ensuing showdown.
William Murray: 4x4x
Bruce Novak: A♠K♠
Brian Mckain : Q♥Q♣
The flop came A♥5♠7♠ pushing Novak into the lead. The runout 5♥10♦ didn't help either Murray and Mckain.
Murray quietly left the table as Novak scooped the pot for a massive boost in chips and as Goldberg claimed that Troy Donaldson, who was also at the table in the small blind, folded pocket tens.
McKain, with only 65,000 remaining, soon followed in elimination.
Daniel Cooper raised to 60 in middle position. Renato Puertas Garcia moved all in with his last 125,000 chips. Cooper made the call.
Renato Puertas Garcia: Q♣Q♠
Daniel Cooper: A♦K♥
Garcia was in jeopardy, but got the clean runout he needed in a full board of 2♦5♦5♣6♠J♦.
Homan Mohammadi raised from the cutoff to 55,000, and Alexey Popov called from the big blind. The flop came out with 10♦10♥K♦. Popov checked, and Mohammadi bet 70,000. Popov raised all in for 305,000, and Popov called.
Mohammadi raised his hands in defeat when he witnessed Popov's hand.
Alexey Popov: 10♣8♣
Homan Mohammadi: K♣9♠
Popov was ahead with trip tens heading to the turn, but the turn K♠ brought Mohammadi the gin card, as it gave him a better full house, and the river 2♦ sealed Popov's trip to the payout desk.
