Dominik Nitsche: 
Xiaoyang Luo: 
The board came 
and Nitsche was eliminated.
In the very next hand, Luo made it 9,000 again and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau moved all in. Dietrich Fast in the small blind asked for a count and moved all in himself once it was determined to be for 51,000. Luo sighed and folded.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 
Dietrich Fast: 
The flop gave the Belorussian top set and Fast needed a jack to improve to a straight. After the turn, Vaskaboinikau locked up the double and the 
on the river gave Fast a meaningless straight.

Within two hands, the second bullet of Timothy Adams has seen his stack reduced to zero as Rocco Palumbo first doubled through him and soon after finished off the job he had started.
First Palumbo won a race for 120,000 with 
versus 
as the board came . Then, it was Palumbo that raised to 9,000 under the gun and Adrian Mateos called from one seat over. Adams moved all in or 45,500 from the small blind and Palumbo called, while Mateos folded.
Timothy Adams: 
Rocco Palumbo:
The flop came 
and a queen was no option for Palumbo, but he got there with the turn. Adams needed a queen to avoid the elimination, but the river was a blank to see the Canadian on his way to the rail.

, Peters checked and a quick bet of 25,000 by Thorel ended the hand right there. The stack of the Frenchman has experienced some kind of roller coaster over the last few hours and moves up once again.

Hong Kong's Kitson Kho joined the field while fellow Chinese player Xiaoyang Luo just doubled one table over. It was Stefan Schillhabel that raised the action and made it 7,000 to go. Luo called on the button and Dominik Nitsche in the small blind three-bet to 32,000. Schillhabel folded and Luo moved all in to see Nitsche ask for a count from the other side of the table.
Luo's shove was for 58,500 and Nitsche called.
Xiaoyang Luo: 
Dominik Nitsche:
While the 
flop gave the four-time WSOP bracelet winner some back door outs to a flush, Nitsche couldn't win the hand anymore as soon as the 
hit on the turn. That made the river a mere formality and Nitsche dropped below the starting stack.
