Action was picked up on a 9♦10♦6♠3♠ board when Ahmed Mohamed checked in the big blind to Andrew Kelsall on the button. Kelsall put out a bet and was raised by Mohamed. After taking some time, Kelsall put in the three-bet, and Mohamed called.
On the river was the J♠, Mohamed checked to Kelsall who made another bet. Mohamed eventually found a fold and after doing so Kelsall let out a big sigh and said, "I finally got one through" and tabled A♦3♦.
Picking up the action on the flop, Louis Hillman in the small blind was involved in a hand with Anthony Marsico from middle position.
With the board reading 3♥K♦8♠ Hillman led out, only to see Marsico put in a raise. Hillman made the call to see a turn.
The A♦ landed on the turn, prompting both players to check through to the 2♥ river at which point Hillman bet out. Marsico thought for a short time before giving up his hand to keep Hillman, a local Limit Hold'em crusher in Minnesota, very much in contention.
On the stone money bubble, Josh Arieh raised in early position, and it folded to the big blind Louis Hillman who put in a three-bet. Arieh called leaving just 6,000 chips behind.
After the flop came 6♥3♦8♣ Hillman bet and Arieh called putting himself at risk.
Josh Arieh: Q♣10♦
Louis Hillman: A♣Q♦
Arieh was dominated by Hillman needing a 10 or running straight cards to stay alive in the tournament. After the turn was the 5♣, Arieh was down to just three out.
The river was the Q♥ giving him top pair, however Hillman's top pair top kicker eliminated Arieh.
With the knockout of Arieh, all 20 players left in the field are in the money and have secured at least $20,945.
With 21 players remaining and 20 getting paid, the hand-for-hand portion of the tournament has begun.

The very next hand Moncek went all in and was eliminated.
