Schneider ruminated for a while before eventually calling. Salsberg showed A♥7♥ for rivered trips and Salsberg mucked his cards. "Lucky sevens," he added while he raked in the pot.

Drew Soik bet 75,000 from early position on a flop of K♦9♥7♣ before Nate Silver raised to 275,000 out of the big blind.

Soik called as the A♣ fell on the turn. Silver then checked and Soik checked back to the K♥ river.

Both players checked again and Silver turned over A♦J♥ for a rivered pair of aces to take the pot as this table began filling out bio sheets in preparation for a move to one of the feature tables after the next break.

Adam Lamers

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Andrew Hulme opened to 110,000 in the hijack and was called by Michael Duek in the cutoff and Lorenzo Santos Rodriguez in the big blind. The flop came K♦9♦2♣ and Hulme continued with a bet of 135,000 which only Rodriguez called.

The turn was the 8♦ which slowed the action as both players checked to the 8♣ on the river. Rodriguez checked again and Hulme made a small bet of 150,000. Rodriguez called and Hulme showed K♠10♠. Rodriguez looked as if he was folding but then turned over K♥Q♦ for the best hand.

Luis Dorneles raised 100,000 in middle position, and Alec Torelli called next to act, followed by Simon Lindell and by Hunter Frey in the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 10♥5♠2♠ and all four players checked to see the 2♦ turn.

Frey lead out for 175,000, and only Lindell made the call.

When the 3♥ completed the board, Frey fired again, this time for 520,000. Lindell made the call.

Frey tabled A♠10♦ for tens and deuces with an ace-kicker, which out-kicked Lindell's J♣10♣.

Sean Troha kicked off the action with a raise to 105,000 from middle position. Henry Chan in the hijack then made it 275,000 from the hijack before Sergio Torres tried to go all-in from the button.

However, he made a string raise and was forced to leave 20,000 chips behind. The raise stood at 1,850,000 and the blinds followed. Troha quickly followed suit, and Chan's cards would join the muck as well after a while.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Charles Johnson moved all in for 900,000 from middle position before Maurice Hawkins reshoved on the button. Matt Salsberg in the big blind tanked for several minutes as he considered the decision for his last 850,000. The clock was eventually called and Salsberg folded, claiming to have ace-king.

Charles Johnson: A♠J♥
Maurice Hawkins: A♣K♠

"I figured you had ace-king," Johnson told Hawkins heading to the 10♠A♥8♣ flop, which gave both players top pair but Hawkins remained in the lead with his king-kicker. The board ran out 4♠5♥ and Johnson was eliminated.

Johnson accidentally stepped on the water bottle of tablemate Jan-Peter Jachtmann as he prepared to make his exit, spilling water all over the table.

"Water bomb," the good-natured Johnson said as he and Hawkins exchanged a fist bump.

Andrei Boghean opened to 100,000 and was called by Daniel Weinman from the big blind.

Weinman check-called for 55,000 and 300,000 for the final board to show A♦A♥4♠K♣J♦.

Weinman checked for a third time, prompting Boghean to size up to 750,000. Weinman looked like he didn't want to release his hand, but after a minute or so of thinking, he conceded the pot.

Jason Liu: Q♦Q♠
Mason Vieth: K♠K♣

Liu's queens couldn't pull ahead against his opponent's kings as the board ran out 3♥A♣6♠4♥8♠ to mark Liu's elimination as Vieth clapped his hands loudly and high-fived a friend.
