Action folded to Edgar Propst in the cutoff, and he raised to 8,000. Then when it folded to the small blind, he three-bet all in for 85,000. It folded back to Propst, who made the call to put the player at risk.
Small Blind: Q♦3♦ 
Edgar Propst: A♠Q♣
The player into the blind was dominated by Propst and would need help to stay in the tournament. But when the board ran out 2♦7♠9♥6♥10♠ the ace-queen high was still the best hand, and the small blind was eliminated.

Ante: 5,000
Action was picked up with Gintautas Putinas all in for 55,500, with Parker Talbot calling to put him at risk.
Gintautas Putinas: A♠K♣
Parker Talbot: 10♠10♥
Talbot was ahead but would have to win the flip against the two over cards to eliminate Putinas. The flop came J♠Q♥9♣ to give Putinas more outs in the form of a ten to make a straight. Putinas didn't have to wait long as the 10♣ came right in on the river to give Putinas a Broadway straight. Talbot would need the board to pair after turning a set, but the river was the K♠ which confirmed the double up for Putinas.

Alvin Anton raised to 15,000 from early position and was called by Zachariah Kates in middle position.
The flop came 7♦5♠4♦ and Anton checked to Kates, who bet out 40,000. Anton then raised all in for 105,000, which was snap called by Kates.
Alvin Anton: 7♠7♣
Zachariah Kates: A♦K♦
Anton flopped a set but would need to fade a diamond to stay in the tournament. When the board ran out Q♠ on the turn, and 3♣ on the river, the set of sevens were still best, and Anton secured the double up.
