: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with a pot brewing between the small blind Preston Patz and the big blind Di Wu. There was roughly 55,000 in the pot with the board showing 7♠3♠6♣3♣.
After the turn Patz bet out 20,000, before Wu raised to 55,000. Patz then three-bet all in for Wu's stack of 260,000, which he snap called.
Di Wu: 5♥4♦ 
Preston Patz: A♦3♦
Wu flopped a straight and after Patz turned trips, he would need an ace or the board to pair. He got just that when the river brought the 7♦ to improve Patz to a full house, threes full of sevens to eliminate Wu.

Aaron Zhang opened the action with a raise to 24,000. Action then folded to the big blind Colleen Long who three-bet all in for 161,000. Zhang confirmed the count and then put in chips to call.
Colleen Long: A♠9♦
Aaron Zhang: A♣6♣
Long had Zhang dominated and in a great spot to double up. But after the 7♦6♦3♦ flop Zhang paired his six and took the lead. But Zhang was left drawing dead after the Q♦ hit the turn to give Long a flush, and after the 9♥ hit on the river she officially secured the double up.
At a nearby table Leo Araneta and Robert Nguyen both were seen heading to the payout desk after being eliminated.

Derek Gregory opened the action with a raise to 24,000 from under the gun. It then folded to Thu Nguyen on the button, who three-bet to 52,000. Once the blinds folded Gregory made the call to see a flop.
After the flop came 7♦3♦5♠ Gregory checked to Nguyen who fired out 70,000. After debating his decision, another player at the tabled called the clock on Gregory. As the tournament dirctor started the countdown, Gregory raised to 250,000, which got a quick fold from Nguyen to give the pot to Gregory.
Moments later Zachary Mcdiarmid was seen leaving the tournament area after being eliminated.

Alexander Farahi opened the action with a raise to 30,000 from under the gun, and was called by Hattori Lopez on the button. Once it folded Colleen Long in the big blind, she three-bet all in for 275,000. Farahi then four-bet all in for his stack of 350,000, which made Lopez get out of the way to leave the players heads up, with Long at risk.
Colleen Long: Q♠Q♦
Alexander Farahi: A♣K♦
Long was at risk but ahead for the moment with her pocket queens. The 5♣2♣5♥ changed nothing, but when the A♠ hit on the turn, it put Farahi in front, leaving Long with just two outs and just one card to come. The river was the 3♥ which meant the pair of aces for Farahi were good, to take the pot and eliminate Long.

Action folded to Derek Greally in the cutoff who raised to 30,000, before Ryan Tosoc three-bet to 75,000. Once it folded back to Greally he four-bet all in for 365,000, and Tosoc made the call to put him at risk.
Derek Greally: A♥K♥
Ryan Tosoc: 7♠7♥
It was a flip for Greally's tournament life and he would need to improve to stay in the tournament. The board ran out J♥K♣8♣Q♦3♥ and Greally did improve after flopping a king to give him the pot and double up.
