The action folded all the way to Devesh Thapar on the button who opened before Sergei Gurin moved all in from the small blind.
It was back on Thapar who snap called and the cards hit their backs.
Sergei Gurin: A?K?
Devesh Thapar: K?K?
Thapar needed to fade the ace but unfortunately, it was right in the window on the A?7?8? flop. The Q? turn and 4? river did not bring the help he needed an the two players essentially swapped stacks. Thapar still sits will almost 19 big blinds despite the loss.

After significant action all the chips went into the middle between Eli Cohen and current chip leader Dustin Melanson. The cards hit their backs with Cohen all in and at risk.
Eli Cohen: A?Q?
Dustin Melanson: A?K?
The full board ran out 9?2?8?10?8? and Melanson continued to run hot to send Cohen to the rail. Cohen made multiple pay jumps to secure a nice score and has a ton to be proud of.

There was an under the gun open by Devesh Thapar before the action folded to Derek Jonathan Van Lieshout who moved all in. It made it back to Thapar who called and they were off to a full board. Unfortunately, the pocket eights of Van Lieshout could not improve against the kings of Thapar.
Derek Jonathan Van Lieshout hit the rail after an impressive run.

Robert Wong opened in early position to 225,000 before Jimmy Setna raised to about 1,400,000 leaving, himself just 60,000 behind. It folded back to Wong who just called after a bit of confusion about Setna having some chips back.
The 7?J?2? flop landed and after Wong put in the last of the chips Setna waited to see if there was an elimination on the outer table. Which there was.
Setna could put in the last of his chips knowing that if got eliminated he would be making the $1,100 pay jump. Setna stuck it in and the cards hit their backs.
Jimmy Setna: A?K?
Robert Wong: A?J?
Setna was behind and the 4? turn and 10? river did not bring the help he needed. He hit the rail but can sleep well knowing he made a sharp move to earn the pay jump.
