Jordyn Miller moved all in from early position for roughly 350,000 and Melanie Weisner called in position.
Jordyn Miller: A♥J♠
Melanie Weisner: A♣K♦
The 6♥J♣5♥ flop vaulted Miller into the lead and the 2♠ turn was no help to Weisner.
However, Weisner would secure the elimination after the K♠ fell on the river, sending Miller to the payout desk.
Leonid Yanovski raised to 100,000 from under the gun before Brian Green shoved for 510,000 in middle position. The action folded back to Yanovski who called.
Brian Green: A♣9♣
Leonid Yanovski: A♠J♠
Green was dominated and found no help on the 3♣K♣8♠Q♠10♠ board as Yanovski made a flush to send the bracelet winner out in 27th place.
Martin Jacobson raised to 100,000 from under the gun before Francis Cruz shoved all in for 500,000 in middle positon. Leonid Yanovski called in the big blind, and Jacobson also moved all in for around 600,000 more.
Francis Cruz: Q♣J♣
Martin Jacobson: A♠A♦
Leonid Yanovski: A♥Q♦
Jacobson was poised to take the massive pot with his aces, and he remained in front on the 10♦3♥J♠2♦10♠ board to eliminate Cruz and double up off Yanovski.
Qing Liu moved all in from late position and Kevin Calenzo called for less on the button.
Kevin Calenzo: A♦K♠
Quing Liu: 6♠6♦
Liu would fade an ace and a king on the J♦2♥3♥ flop and Calenzo failed to catch up on the 5♣ turn or the 9♠ river, ending his tournament in 24th place and collecting a five-figure payday for the effort.
On the last hand before the dinner break, Wayne Harmon bet 120,000 from the cutoff and Phil Hellmuth called on the button.
Both players checked the monotone board of A♥K♥2♥ and the 6♥ came on the turn putting a fourth heart on the board. Harmon bet 65,000 and Hellmuth clicked back for 150,000. Harmon immediately responded with a raise to 310,000 leading Hellmuth to go on a trademarked foul-mouthed tirade.
Harmon kept his cool during Hellmuth's rant and was smiling throughout the theatrics by the "Poker Brat". Eventually, Hellmuth folded and Harmon spoke to PokerNews after the hand and declared "I had no heart, but I had all the heart!" while thumping his chest.
David McGowan moved all in for around 500,000 from middle position as Leonid Yanovski snap called in the big blind.
David McGowan: 6♣6♠
Leonid Yanovski: J♥J♣
McGowan was already standing up from his seat preparing to make his exit as the flop came 10♥Q♦Q♠. The Q♣ on the turn left him drawing dead, and the inconsequential 3♥ fell on the river to seal his elimination in 22nd place.
James Borland moved all-in for 1,145,000 from early position and was called by Jason James on the button.
James Borland: 9♠9♦
Jason James: Q♠Q♦
A significant dog before the flop, Borland would call for his "one-time," but the poker gods would not deliver, as the final board ran out 5♦2♥J♦5♠5♣, sending Borland to the payout desk.
The last Hall of Famer in the field has fallen.
Phil Hellmuth moved all in from the button for his last 615,000 and was called by Josh Palmer in the big blind.
Phil Hellmuth: 8♦8♣
Josh Palmer: A♦J♦
Hellmuth would need to win the flip in order to survive, but the 3♦6♦3♠ flop provided Palmer additional outs to eliminate the 17-time bracelet winner.
The 4♣ turn left both hands unchanged, but Palmer would get lucky and spike a diamond on the 2♦ river, completing the flush and sending the "Poker Brat" to the payout desk.
In typical Hellmuth fashion, he was gracious in defeat and handed Palmer over the bounty slip worth $2,007.
At the same time Phil Hellmuth was being knocked out on one of the other tables, John Riordan was all in for 960,000 from the small blind and up against Leonid Yanovski on the button .
Riordan had A♦4x but was dominated by Yanovski's A♣8♥. The board ran out 5♣6♠A♠10♥7♠ and Yanovski's eight-kicker played to send Riordan to the rail.
Marc Moukarzel moved all in for 620,000 from middle position and Martin Zamani reshoved from the small blind.
Marc Moukarzel: Q♦Q♣
Martin Zamani: 6♦6♣
Moukarzel was in great shape to get the double and the K♣2♣10♣ flop would further extend the lead of the over pair.
Moukarzel would just need to fade a six with one card to come on the 7♦ turn, but was not able to do so as the 6♠ fell on the river, sending Moukarzel to the payout desk.
