Alan Goasdoue was all-in for his final 60,000 chips from middle position and Nikolai Tulin rejammed from the cutoff with the covering stack. The rest of the table folded and the players showed down.
Alan Goasdoue: A?10?
Nikolai Tulin: A?8?
Goasdoue was in a good position to double-up, but the Q?6?Q? added some chop outs for Tulin. The K? also added a flush draw to that, and it came in when the 4? hit the river.
Tulin's flush eliminated Goasdoue, who said his farewells and seemingly left the table in good spirits. Meanwhile, his fellow Frenchman Julien Sitbon was also seen leaving the tournament area.

Wayne Harmon: A?Q?
Neither player made anything on the 9?J?9?2?6? board and Kitai said his goodbyes before collecting his mincash.

Mario Junior: A?K?
Daniel Negreanu: 9?9?
The board ran out 3?J?3?8?J?, offering no improvement for Junior who stood to exit the tournament area one spot short of a payday.

Mikhail Zavaloka was all in from the big blind with a single 1,000-value chip. Gabriel Schroeder, the cutoff, had him at risk as the cards were turned over.
Mikhail Zavaloka: 9?7?
Gabriel Schroeder: A?9?
The 6?6?8? flop gave Zavaloka an open-ended straight draw. The harmless 4? hit the turn, but the 5? river completed Zavaloka's straight and kept him alive.

With the tournament clock showing 225 players remaining and 223 places getting paid, the tournament has entered hand for hand play.
With hand for hand play about to start, Jeff Lennon had his opponent deep in the tank.
With the board showing 10?3?J?9?3?, Lennon bet 47,000 from the button. His opponent in early position, who had checked, would have to use the majority of her stack to call. She thought for nearly two minutes before folding.
Lennon won the pot - and showed 5x2x, playing the board.
