Viktor Blom: 4x3x / 7x10x2x All in
Jesse Lonis: 4xAx / 9xJx8x

Blom led on fourth and he did the same on fifth with 75,000 behind. Lonis raised to ask for the rest, saying, "Welp, I hope you paired up," and Blom put in the last few chips.

Blom had not paired and was in great shape to double. However, he paired with a 2x on sixth and Lonis caught a 5x.

Going into seventh, Blom was drawing to a seven against the made nine and eight draw of Lonis, who went first and caught an Ax to make his eight.

Blom needed to improve to stay alive, but his final card was a Kx, leaving Lonis best as Blom exited in 12th place.

Marco Johnson: Q♦J♠10♠4♥ All in
Sebastian Pauli: 6♠5♠4♣2♥

Johnson flopped top pair and the superior flush draw against Pauli's bottom pair, wrap, and low draw.

After a very active Triple Draw round at another table, Jesse Lonis has become the chip leader.
