Lucia Navarro opened the action with a raise to 2,000 in the cutoff. Michael Ung three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind and Navarro called.
Ung continued for 5,000 on A♥Q♠6♠ and Navarro called.
Action went check-check on the 5♠ turn and 10♠ river. Ung showed K♣9♣ for just King-high as Navarro dragged the pot in with Q♦9♦.
Anson Tsang raised the button to 2,200 and Quang Pham three-bet from the big blind to 6,200. Tsang then four-bet to 15,000, and Pham called.
They both saw a flop of 2♣Q♥5♣ which Pham checked, Tsang bet 9,000, and Pham quickly folded.
Irene Carey and Alen Bakovic pointed out the details of a recent elimination, which happened to be none other than Huck Seed. According to both, Seed four-bet jammed for 52,000 with the 7♠6♠ and was called by Tanner Rose with the AxKx.
Seed picked up outs with the 8♠8♣4♣ flop and Q♠ turn but the Q♥ river ended his run in just five hands.
Action picked up preflop in a hand with a player all in against Mukul Pahuja, who had his opponent covered.
All-in Player: A♠K♦ 
Mukul Pahuja, 8♣8♠
The dealer fanned 5♣4♠5♥ on the board, keeping Pahuja’s pocket pair in the lead. The situation didn’t change when 7♦ showed up on the turn.
The Q♠ on the river provided a moment of anxiety, especially when Puhuja’s opponent thought the paint card was a king.
But the card didn’t help and Puhuja won the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
Darren Rabinowitz opened to 2,200 in middle position and in the hijack, Alex Keating three-bet to 6,400 which folded out all other player. Rabinowitz four-bet to 12,200 and Keating thought for a bit before he called.
The flop rolled out 3♠J♥J♦ and Rabinowitz continued for 3,000 which Keating called.
On the turn 6♣, Rabinowitz sized up to 5,000 and Keating called a second time.
Rabinowitz moved all in on the river Q♣ and Keating snap-called for 27,100 total.
Alex Keating: K♦J♣
Darren Rabinowitz: A♠A♦
The three jacks with a king were good to crack Rabinowitz' aces as Keating took down the pot in the battle of the bracelet winners.
Russell Crane opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 2,200 and was called in two spots before Mykhailo Lendel three-bet to 10,000 from the button. Only Crane made the call.
The dealer put out 6♠7♠7♥ and Lendel continued for 8,000. Crane called.
The turn 3♣ rolled off and Lendel sized-up to 25,000. After a short tank, Crane mucked, preserving precious chips.
Heads-up on a flop of 6♣4♦9♦, Rassoul Malboubi bet 5,000 from the small blind before an opponent under the gun moved all in for 22,000. Malboubi called to put him at risk.
All-In Player: A♦Q♦
Rassoul Malboubi: K♠9♠
Malboubi was ahead with top pair, while his opponent had a flush draw to go with his overcards. The 5♥ turn was safe for Malboubi, while the 10♠ river secured him the pot and sent his opponent to the rail.
On a completed board of K♠5♣4♥Q♥8♦, Alexandra Botez checked and Jun Miao bet 8,600. Botez reluctantly called for nearly one third of her short stack and couldn't beat the Q♦J♦ of Miao, as she dropped to around 21 big blinds.
