Charles Bryant raised to 60,000 from the hijack, and Neal Liptak in the cutoff three-bet all in for 450,000. Once it folded back to Bryant he quickly made the call to put Liptak at risk.
Neal Liptak: A?K?
Charles Bryant: A?A?
It was a cooler for Liptak who ran into the pocket aces of Bryant. Once the board ran out 6?6?J?2?Q? the pocket aces were still best, and Liptak was eliminated.

Anthony Collurafici Jr moved all in for his last 225,000 chips from the hijack and Charles Bryant called on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Collurafici Jr found himself a great spot for a double up.

Charles Bryant: A?9?
The dealer put out K?J?9?5?6? and Bryant's pair of nines was good enough to eliminate Collurafici Jr and scoop in the pot.

Sarah Wasch opened the action with a raise to 50,000, and when it folded to the small blind Matthew Zambanini, he called. The big blind folded, leaving the two players heads up.
The flop came 9?A?10? and Zambanini checked to Wasch, who bet 75,000. Zambanini then raised all in for 250,000, and Wasch called to put him at risk.
Matthew Zambanini: 7?6?
Sarah Wasch: 8?5?
Both players had a flush draw, and Wasch was shocked to see she was ahead with eight high. Once the turn came the A? and the river was the 2? the eight high of Wasch remained best, to give her the pot and eliminate Zambanini.

Max Pinnola opened the action with a raise to 40,000, and when it folded to the button Robert Klein three-bet all in for 380,000. Then after the small blind folded, the big blind Jonathan Stoeber four-bet all in for 410,000. Then Max Pinnola quickly made the call to put both players at risk.
Robert Klein: 9?9?
Jonathan Stoeber: A?Q?
Max Pinnola: J?J?
Stoeber was delighted to see he had two overs to the pocket pairs of Pinnola and Klein, but after the board ran out K?7?4?3?7? the pocket jacks of Pinnola held, and Klein who was the shortest stack was out in 16th place, and Stoeber was eliminated in 15th, getting the pay jump.
