Buck Ramsay raised to 35,000 from middle position, Jacob Ostrander called and Alex Rivera moved all in for 97,000. Rivera stood up in his seat and accidentally flipped over his cards: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Ramsay elected to fold and Ostrander snap-called, showing {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and the Day 1 chip leader Rivera was eliminated.

Moments later, Ostrander took another one out. Budwey Salhab moved all in with the {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Ostrander called with the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}. The {7-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{K-Hearts} board gave Ostrander a winner set and another elimination.

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Kevin Barry shoved for 66,000 from middle position and Alex Rivera called from directly behind. In the next seat over was Brian Healy and he moved all in from the cutoff, having Rivera covered. Rivera shook his head and tossed his cards into the muck, leaving two to see a board.

Healy: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Barry picked up some outs on the {7-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop but he was unable to catch up on the {2-Clubs} turn and {Q-Hearts} river, sending him to the rail in 24th place.
