Action was picked up on the flop in a three-way pot between Sergio Martinez Gonzalez in the big blind, Lou Garza in first position, and Edward Leonard on the button.
The flop read 8♥4♦2♠ and Gonzalez bet 200,000 on the flop to see only Leonard call.
Both players checked through on the turn K♦ to the river 8♦ where Gonzalez burned a time extension before betting 750,000. Leonard went into the tank before calling.
Gonzalez showed 4♠2♦, but it was Leonard's 9♠9♣5♠4♣ for nines and eights that was good for the pot.
Dylan Linde raised to 175,000 from under the gun and Dylan Weisman called on the button.
The flop rolled out 9♠6♦4♣ and Linde moved all in for 390,000 effective to see Weisman call to put himself at risk.
Dylan Weisman: A♦K♦6♠4♠
Dylan Linde: A♣10♥8♥5♣
Linde picked up some outs on the A♥ turn in the form of better two pair on top of the already existing straight draw outs, with the river 7♣ completing Linde's straight. The WSOP bracelet winner took his leave from the tournament as Linde raked in his namesake's chips.
Amit Benyacov moved all in from the cutoff, and Lou Garza flatted from the button. The blinds got out of the way and the cards were tabled.
Amit Benyacov: Q♣9♣
Lou Garza: A♦J♠
Benyacov took the lead on the 9♦5♦5♣ flop, then lost it instantly as the J♦ hit the turn. Garza then made the nut flush for good measure on the 10♦ river to eliminate his opponent.
Daniel Negreanu moved all in for 745,000 on the button, and Dylan Weisman made the call after some deliberation from the big blind.
Daniel Negreanu: A♠2♣
Dylan Weisman: K♥Q♦
Negreanu took out his vlogging stick and reduced his opponent to a gutshot on the A♦4♣10♣ flop. "Now we just need to fade a jack," he told his fans, right as the J♣ hit the turn giving Weisman Broadway.
"Club!" he shouted, and low and behold the K♣ appeared on the river to give him the worst flush, but a flush nonetheless. "Oh my God, this game is silly," he announced as he crossed the 30 big blind mark.

Lou Garza opened from the hijack to 110,000. Jordan Glazer then moved all in for 560,000 from the cutoff and action folded around to Garza. He took some time before sticking in the call.
Jordan Glazer: Q♣Q♠
Lou Garza: 10♦9♦
The flop of 2♥2♣8♠ was about as safe as it gets for Glazer. The J♥ turn brought a bit of a sweat, but he boated up on the 2♦ river to stay alive.
After two days of alternating Pot-Limit Omaha and No-Limit Hold’em action, Event #64: $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed has entered the business end of the tournament. From a field of 214 entries, only 14 players remain with a chance to capture one of poker’s most coveted prizes.
When action resumes at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, the surviving contenders will return knowing a World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet is firmly within reach. Awaiting the eventual champion is not only the prestigious WSOP hardware but also a first-place prize of $1,172,296.
Sean Winter has long featured in discussions about the best players yet to win a WSOP bracelet. Despite a stellar career that has produced more than $40 million in live tournament earnings, the American has yet to enjoy a breakthrough summer on poker's biggest stage. He returns for the final day with 2,410,000 chips and another opportunity to change that.
Before he can start thinking about a bracelet, Winter will need to make up ground on the leaders.
Finnish legend Juha Helppi and defending champion Lou Garza are the only players returning with stacks north of 100 big blinds, with the chasing pack closely grouped, with only a handful of big blinds separating third place from sixth.

Alongside Winter, Dylan Weisman (1,705,000), Dylan Linde (1,530,000), and seven-time bracelet winner and Poker Hall of Famer Daniel Negreanu (435,000) are all still in contention, with valuable fantasy points still up for grabs for their respective teams.
