Daniel Barriocanal in the small blind-eyed up the short stack of John Monnette in the big and decided to apply maximum pressure putting him to the test for his tournament life. Monnette woke up with a monster and called off Barriocanal's shove. The cards were tabled.
John Monnette: K♣K♥
Daniel Barriocanal: 6♦2♦
The board ran out 9♥4♦10♠A♠8♠, no trouble for the pocket kings and Monnette doubled up.
Ryan Hohner was all in and Daniel Barriocanal was the one to put him at risk. The cards were already on their backs and the dealer was ready to go.
Ryan Hohner: Q♥Q♣
Daniel Barriocanal: A♦K♣
The board ran out 7x6xKx3xJx and the flopped king was good enough to send Hohner to the rail in seventh place for $62,746.
Sarah Herzali raised from middle position to 500,000 and Nikolaos Angelou called in the big blind.
The board came 6♥8♥Q♦ and both players checked through to the 4♣ on the turn.
The next street followed the same line and both players arrived at the Q♣ on the river. Angelou checked one more time and Herzali bet out for 1,000,000 prompting a swift fold from Angelou. This pot extended her chip lead and her large rail continued to cheer her on.

The final seven players are now on a 15-minute break.
Sarah Herzali limped in from the small blind and Grant Wang checked his option from the big blind.
The flop was 4♥2♦9♦ and Herzali bet what looked like 650,000. Wang called and the turn was 9♣.
Herzali continued for 375,000 on the turn and Wang called again. The river was 8♦.
Both players checked the river and Herzali turned over 4♦3♦. The flush was good to take the pot and Wang sent the losing hand into the muck.

Kevin Choi and Nikolaos Angelou wound up in a big preflop conformation getting both stacks in the middle as Choi ran his pocket jacks into the ace-king of Angelou. An ace on the turn left Choi so short that he was forced all in by the big blind the very next hand.
Nikolaos Angelou opened from the button to 200,000 and Daniel Barriocanal in the small blind called putting Choi at risk.
Both players checked the hand through to the river as the full board read Q♥5♠8♣7♠10♠. Angelou tabled A♠8♥ beating both Barriocanal and Choi. Choi was sent to the rail in 8th place.
