Ryan Rapaski raised to 110,000 and earned a call from chip leader Hassan Kamel from one seat over. They checked the J♣7♣5♥ flop and Rapaski also checked the A♣ turn. Kamel bet 130,000 and that won the pot.
Soon after, Kamel got it in against Dzmitry Urbanovich with the latter at risk for 690,000.
Dzmitry Urbanovich: A♠K♥5♥2♥
Hassan Kamel: A♣A♥8♣4♣
The board came K♦9♠5♠4♥K♠ and Urbanovich doubled with kings full of fives.
Patrick Leonard opened to 85,000 in early position and found a call from Stephen Deutsch in the cutoff.
Both players checked through the 8♠4♠10♦ flop and K♦ turn, before Leonard bet 80,000 on the Q♦ river.
Deutsch slid in the quick call and announced flush, showing 7♦3♦3♣2♣. Leonard saw the bad news and mucked, as Deutsch took down the pot.
Ryan Rapaski raised to 125,000 and was called by Anton Smirnov in the big blind. The A♠K♣8♠ flop was checked by Smirnov and he then folded when Rapaski continued for 225,000, with the latter exposing the A♦8♥.
Smirnov then raised to 100,000 in the small blind. Dylan Weisman checked his cards and folded, getting shown the A♦A♣2x.
One table over, John Holley opened to 100,000 in the cutoff and Patrick Leonard called on the button. Stephen Deutsch three-bet to 400,000 from the big blind and Holley folded with the words "heads-up I would call".
Leonard inquired to see how many chips Deutsch had behind and folded half a minute later.
Maxx Coleman got his last three big blinds into the middle against chip leader Hassan Kamel.
Maxx Coleman: A♣A♦Q♦9♣
Hassan Kamel: J♦6♦5♥3♣
Coleman's pocket aces were in the lead until the river, where Kamel hit trip fives to score the knockout. Coleman earns $30,159 for his 15th place finish.
Calen McNeil raised to 85,000 from under the gun and Long Tran potted to 335,000 on the button. McNeil asked for his stack size to then announce all-in before he noticed that Ben Yu was still to act out of the big blind.
Yu reluctantly folded and the all-in of McNeil was confirmed as Tran called it off for 750,000 total.
Long Tran: A♥A♠Q♣5♣
Calen McNeil: A♦A♣J♠10♥
To make a long story short, both had a pair of aces on the 9♦7♦2♥4♣J♦ board and Tran also won the low as he earned three quarters of the pot.
"That is unfortunate," Canadian McNeil remarked.
Niveau: 23
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 40,000
The 15 remaining players are on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Joao Simao potted preflop to 105,000, leaving just 40,000 behind, and both Ben Yu and John Holley called. On the 10♠4♠4♥ flop, Holley checked, Simao bet 30,000, and Yu called.
Holley then raised to 105,000, Simao called his remaining 10,000, and Yu folded.
Joao Simao: A♣J♥4♣2♥
John Holley: K♠10♣10♥9♠
Holley had wholly smashed the flop, making the 9♣ turn and 2♦ river more or less a mere formality. Simao said his goodbyes to leave 15 players to go on break.
In a limped battle of the blinds, the flop showed A♦9♥8♦ and Dylan Weisman bet 60,000. Maxx Coleman raised to 275,000 and then called the shove by Weisman.
Dylan Weisman: Q♠J♦J♣10♦
Maxx Coleman: A♠9♦7♣5♠
The 10♥ turn and Q♥ river completed the board for Weisman to double.
He then limped the button for Coleman to call in the small blind, Naoya Kihara checked out of the big blind.
They checked the 4♠4♦3♦ flop to see the 2♠ turn and Coleman checked, Kihara bet 80,000. Weisman raised to 360,000 and called Kihara's shove.
Dylan Weisman: 7♦6♣5♦5♥
Naoya Kihara: Q♦10♥6♠5♠
Weisman had a 12.5% freeroll advantage with his pair and higher straight draw while Kihara was hoping for spades. The J♣ river ensured another split pot.
