In a blind versus blind battle, Christopher Picquette was all in and at risk for his 21,000 stack against Michael Hahn.
Christopher Picquette: K♠K♥Q♠4♥
Michael Hahn: Q♣9♠9♦7♦
The 4♠Q♦5♥A♥A♠ board kept Picquette in the lead, earning him a double-up from Hahn.
Action was picked up with cards on their backs with Javier Zarco all in and at risk for his last 23,000 against Daniel Kim.
Javier Zarco: A♠J♣5♠4♠
Daniel Kim: A♥A♦J♥6♥
The board ran out K♣5♣3♣6♦J♦ and the jacks and sixes for Kim were best against Zarco's jacks and fives. Kim raked in the pot while Zarco collected a payout after being down to just one big blind on the bubble
Seeing a limp from the hijack ahead of him, Dylan Duran raised to 23,000 in the cutoff. Michael Noori responded by moving all in for 40,000 on the button, which only Duran called.
Michael Noori: 9♥7♣6♥5♣
Dylan Duran: 7♠7♦6♠5♦
The J♠10♣Q♦J♥J♣ board was of no help to Noori, seeing him fall just inside the money.
Four players limped to see the flop including Matthew Costanzo in first position and Dylan Duran in the small blind.
The flop rolled out 9♣7♥2♣ and Duran bet 23,000 to see only Costanzo continue in the hand.
On the turn K♠, Duran moved all in for 73,000 effective and Costanzo called to put himself at risk.
Matthew Costanzo: Q♣J♠10♣4♠
Dylan Duran: 10♦9♠9♦2♦
No help came on the river 3♥ and the remaining 134 players were all guaranteed at least a $6,033 payout.
Rabia Lew moved in her final 7,000 from under the gun and Stanislav Halatenko raised to 21,000 to see everyone else fold.
Rabia Lew: A♠9♣3♥2♠
Stanislav Halatenko: K♥K♣9♥5♦
The board ran out K♠Q♣J♠4♠Q♦ which saw Lew turn the nut flush, but the board pairing river gave the pot to Halatenko to eliminate Lew from the tournament.
Players are now just one elimination away from making the money.
This year's nominees for the Poker Hall of Fame have been announced, with the eight individuals now heading to the living members of the Hall for voting.
Each member can vote for up to four nominees, and anyone receiving votes from 22 or more members earns an automatic induction. This change, from a previous "winner-takes-all" format allowing for only one induction per year, was announced earlier this month.
Five of the eight nominees are first-time nominees, having met the minimum age requirement of 40. Eight-time WSOP bracelet winner Shaun Deeb headlines these players; he is joined by Jason Koon, Isaac Haxton, Chris Moorman, and Justin Bonomo.
