Joshi tanked for a minute but ultimately called with Q♣Q♦. Shainiuk mucked as Joshi, who finished 13th in the Main Event last year, took the big pot.

Matt Affleck raised to 800 from early position and was three-bet to 2,800 by Dimitrios Mylonas in middle position. Action folded back around to Mylonas, who called.

Affleck checked a final time on the 8♦ river and Mylonas checked behind after a lengthy tank.
Affleck tabled J♣J♠, which were no good against Mylonas' A♣A♥ to send the pot Mylonas' way.

There were some celebrations and shouts from the corner of the room, which is expected with multiple final tables going on inside the horseshoe but upon closer inspection this celebratory cheering outburst was not coming from a final table but from a table in Level 2 of the Main Event.
The board told the story as it showed 6♠10♣8♣2♣2♠. Bradley Nessar's winning hand of 8♦8♠ had made runner-runner boat to upend the 9x7x flopped straight of his opponent to keep Nessar alive as he continued to celebrate with along with a bit of a rail supporting him.
Action was retold that Nessar had bet 6,000 on the flop, his opponent had raised to 15,000 and Nessar moved all in when he was snap-called to make it look like he was going to be eliminated before the savior ducks on the turn and river.

Abby Merk raised from the cutoff, receiving calls from David Williamson on the button and Assaf Zeharia, in the big blind.
The 10♣7♥4♦ flop saw the action check to Merk, who continued for 800. Both opponents called.
The 8♦ turn saw Zeharia check. Merk bet again, this time for 2,500. Williamson put in a raise to 6,000 and Zeharia called. The action was back on Merk who bumped it up to 18,000. Williamson stepped aside and Zeharia moved all in.
Merk went deep into the tank, eventually making the call for her tournament life.
Abby Merk: 6♥5♥ 
Assaf Zeharia: J♣9♣
Both players had turned a straight, but Zeharia had the superior of the two holdings. The K♣ river couldn't save Merk and she was sent to the rail.
