Players were already heads-up and all in with their cards face up. Jason Wheeler was all in for his remaining 153,000 chips.
Jason Wheeler: K♦Q♥
Michael Bruno: A♥Q♣
Wheeler needed to improve but the 5♥J♠J♥ flop didn't give much to work with.
The 10♦ turn gave Wheeler some hope with an open-ended straight draw, but the 8♦ river didn't bring it in.
Wheeler bust the tournament with just over 200 players remaining.

Pei Li: A♣10♣
Boris Kolev: 9♠9♥
The flop came 2♥7♥4♦ and Li was still looking to hit.
The 9♦ was turned and Li got up from his seat, knowing he was drawing dead.
As the dealer places the 2♠, Li walked away from the table, and Kolev took the pot.

When arriving at the table PokerNews was informed that one player, who shall remain unnamed was the sheriff, yet during the following hand he did nothing to stop the result.
Elliot Smith from Canada who braved the freezing snow to emerge on a snowmobile to attend this poker tournament in the desert raised from under the gun to 37,000 and the player in the hijack made the call. The flop arrived with 8♣J♥9♣ and both players checked.
The turn had the same result with the 10♥ which prompted a check from both players.
The river Q♠ brought a giggle from the dealer, I believe the table has been making her laugh but it also brought a bet from Smith for 65,000. The hijack called and mucked when Smith turned over K♠K♥ for the straight.
The sheriff was minding his own business probably busy finding criminals on his phone.

There's never a good way to bust from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. But there aren't many ways more soul-crushing than with pocket aces deep on Day 7. Just ask Daniel Zadok.
At the time of publishing, 26 of the record-setting 10,112 players in the $10,000 buy-in world championship event remained. A minimum payout of $350,000 is in store for every player still kicking. Zadok, thanks to an unfortunate flop, is not one of them.

The player in the hijack raised to 37,000 and Luis Dorneles called from the big blind. The flop arrived with K♦6♦5♣ and Dorneles checked, the hijack bet 35,000, Dorneles three-bet to 115,000, and the hijack moved all in for 270,000. Dorneles quickly called.
Hijack: K♣J♠
Luis Dorneles: A♥A♠
The hijack held top pair and Dorneles held an over pair to the board.
The turn 6♣ and the river was the J♦ and for a moment Dorneles thought his aces were cracked but the other players pointed out that he also had two pair and the better two pair.
