Ian O'Hara raised on the button to 40,000 and Michael Phillips, in the big blind, decided to three-bet to 165,000. O'Hara considered it for a minute but eventually folded.
Philips is now seated with a stack worth over 1,200,000.
Aylar Lie moved all in under the gun fire around 140,000 and Danny Scott announced the call a few seats over. It folded to the big blind who shoved for 220,000 and after a minute, Scott ended up calling:
Aylar Lie: A♣K♣
Big blind: A♦Q♠
Danny Scott: A♥J♦
Lie had the best starting hand but a flop 10♠6♥J♣ appeared, giving a pair of jacks to Scott. The rest of the board didn't change anything with the 7♥ and the 5♣ and Scott busted his two opponents and added two bounties to his collection.
Down to 42,000 chips, Aylar Lie moved all in from middle position, and she was called by Danny Scott in the cutoff.
Aylar Lie: A♦Q♠
Danny Scott: A♠7♠
On her way to double up, Lie was confident on 9♠5♥5♦2♥. However, the 2♦ on the river added a second pair to the board, resulting in a split pot between Lie and Scott.
The cards were already flipped over with three players involved and a board showing 2♠4♠Q♣9♥10♦.
David Eads was holding the winning hand with 7♠7♣ while his opponents were holding A♥5♥ and A♣K♠. Eads, who had a stack worth 159,000, was covering by just a few chips one of his opponents while the third player had the biggest stack and managed to triple up thanks to that hand.
Everybody folded to Frank Lagodich in the small blind, who went all in as Dorian Melchers had only four blinds remaining in the big blind. The Frenchman called.
Frank Lagodich: J♥5♦
Dorian Melchers: A♠7♥
Finalist of the $800 Deepstack WSOP event a few days ago, Melchers will not see another final table as his tournament came to an end. On 3♣4♠2♦K♠A♣, Lagodich found a straight on the river. Thanks to this hand, he's just reached 1,000,000 chips.
Jon Orlando limped and Nicolas Piquet shoved for a stack around 100,000. A third player shoved as well with less than 50,000 and Orlando didn't take long to call with the higher stack for the following showdown:
Nicolas Piquet: A♥Q♦
Third player: A♦4♠
Jon Orlando: 9♣9♠
Orlando's pair of nines managed to hold throughout the board 6♦J♣8♠6♥7♣ and he racked the pot and busted his two opponents.
