Mario Colavita:?K?K?

After the Q? turn, Colavita hit one of the best flush with the 5? river and Shulman was eliminated.

Senovio Ramirez III open-shoved from the button for 6,275,000. Mario Colavita in the big blind called.

Senovio Ramirez III: Q?8?All in
Mario Colavita: A?5?

Ramirez was at risk and behind, but had two live cards.

Once the flop 3?4?A? came in, he was in very bad shape and needed running cards.

The turn 2? gave Colavita the straight and Ramirez was drawing dead. The river was the 9? and he was sent packing.

Ali Imsirovic raised to 3,000,000 from under the gun, and David Cabrera Polop in the hijack was the only one to call.

On a flop of 3?8?A?, Imsirovic checked. "I give you 40 seconds and then I bet" Cabrera Polop said, seing that there was a pay jump coming. He eventually bet 450,000 and Imsirovic called, finding himself at risk.

Ali Imsirovic:?5?5??All in
David Cabrera Polop: A?A?

Imsirovic ran into aces and found no help with the Q? turn and the J? river, so he was eliminated.

John Racener shoved from under the gun for 6,700,000. David Cabrera Polop called from the button and Yun Choi for his remaining 1,500,000 from the big blind. Polop had a chance to eliminate two players.

Yun Choi: 5?5? All in
John Racener: Q?Q? All in
David Cabrera Polop: 10?10?

The flop of 8?Q?8? gave Racener a full house, meaning he could only lose to running cards. The J? turn and 6? river meant Racener would more than double up and Choi was sent home.
