The action was picked up on the river with a board reading K♠10♣6♥9♥7♦. Curtis Phelps was all-in and at risk versus Balakrishna Patur.
Curtis Phelps: 9♣8♠ 
Balakrishna Patur: K♣Q♥
His straight was good and the newly-acquired chips were a welcome sight to Phelps.
Raymond Mancini opened from under the gun to 250,000 and Derek Stark three-bet to 1,000,000 in the hijack, with 500,000 behind. Steven Parkin, who was in the cutoff, committed his last 700,000 chips and Mancini opted to get out of the way.
Steven Parkin: A♣K♥
Derek Stark: A♦A♥
Stark improved to top set on the 2♥A♠5♥ flop, leaving his opponent on the ropes. Parkin would need runner-runner straight for a chop to stay alive.
The turn landed the 9♥, locking up the win for Stark and the meaningless 3♠ completed the board.
Action folded around to Peter Placey in the small blind, who moved all in, putting his opponent, Damien Wierzbicki, at risk in the big blind. Wierzbicki made the call.
Damien Wierzbicki: A♠10♦
Peter Placey: Q♠J♦
The 8♥9♥4♥ flop was safe for Wierzbicki, but Placey pulled ahead on the J♣ turn. The river brought the 4♦, and Placey dragged in the pot, ending Wierzbicki's tournament run.
Eric Ng raised all in and was at risk from early position and was called by Raymond Mancini the cutoff.
Eric Ng :A♠9♠
Raymond Mancini :J♦J♣
The board ran out 10♥8♣3♠9♥4♥ ending Ng's impressive tournament run.
Richy Rob was down to just 250,000 early in the day and spun it to well over a million before going all in and being isolated by the bigger stack of Bradley Gafford.
Richy Rob: A♦Q♥
Bradley Gafford: A♠K♣
Rob was rooting for a chop when the 3♦7♥3♠ board rolled off but the turn and river were bricks and he was reluctantly sent to the payouts.
Niveau: 28
Blinds: 50,000/10,000
Ante: 100,000
James Calderaro limped in from the small blind and James Anderson checked his option out of the big blind.
The flop was 9♠8♣2♣, Calderaro checked, Anderson bet 110,000 and Calderaro made the call.
The turn was the 8♥ and action checked through.
The river brought the Q♠, this time Calderaro bet out for 200,000, Anderson made the call. Calderaro tabled A♦8♦ and Anderson tossed his cards into the muck.
