On the first deal of hand-for-hand play, with 47 players remaining and two of them destined to walk away empty-handed, there were two eliminations at opposite corners of the room.

Over on Table 3, a short-stacked player moved all in out of the small blind with {j-Spades}{6-Spades}, and Danny Lala looked him up from the big blind with {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The flop fell {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, giving the player backdoor straight and flush draws, and the {k-Diamonds} kept the former alive.

It also gave Lala a pair of kings, however, leaving the player with only four-outs to make a king-high straight.

Unfortunately for him, the {2-Diamonds} on the river wasn't one of them, and he was eliminated.

At the other corner of the room, Craig Brobyn opened to 18,000 on the button, a player in the small blind moved all in for 31,000, and Brobyn tabled 8d8h. The player was racing with AcKc, and flopped a pair of kings, but the first three community cards - {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} - also gave Brobyn a set of nines.

The all-in player was drawing dead when the turn brought the{6-Clubs}, and a meaningless {9-Diamonds} completed the board.
