Heads-up to the A♠5♥5♣ flop, Philip Wiszowaty bet 20,000 out of the blinds and Yuval Bronshtein called. The action repeated on the J♦ turn albeit for 40,000 and Wiszowaty then checked the 6♥ on the river.
Bronshtein bet 50,000 and that was enough to force a fold from his opponent.

Three ways to a turn of 10♥6♦5♠4♦, Kane Kalas made it 58,000 to go out of the small blind. Bradley Kil as the table big stack folded whereas the action was then on Lou Garza one seat over. The $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship winner announced pot and made it 284,000 to go.
Kalas needed two time bank extensions and then opted to fold.
Action folded to Event #3: $1,000 Mystery Millions winner Tyler Brown in middle position who limped for 10,000. It then made it to the button who raised to 45,000. The small blind folded and action was on Santhosh Suvarna in the big blind. He put in the pot sized bet to 150,000 with just a few chips back.
Action was back on Brown who did some accounting before repotting his full stack to 230,000. The button folded and Suvarna went all in for less.
Santhosh Suvarna: A♦A♥6♦9♦
Tyler Brown: K♦Q♥J♣10♣
The full board ran out 3♣2♣4♥8♣8♥ giving Brown a flush and sending Suvarna to the rail.
Ben Yu limped in from the cutoff and one limp later, Matthew Boulden then raised it up to 50,000 out of the big blind. The call by Yu led to the K♣9♠2♥ flop on which Boulden announced all-in. Yu had around 85,000 behind and called it off.
Ben Yu: 9♥7♥7♣6♣
Matthew Boulden: K♠10♠9♣7♦
The J♥ turn and 3♣ river runout sent Yu to the rail.
On a heads-up river of 2♥6♥8♦J♦A♣, there was around 250,000 in the pot when Ky Nguyen checked over to his opponent Dylan Smith, who then set out a bet of 175,000.
Nguyen then went into the tank for a good while, using two of his time banks to debate this decision.
Before he used his third, Nguyen made the call but was then shown A♠J♥8♥3♦ by Smith for top two-pair and Nguyen mucked his hand.
Two hands later, Michael Russo opened to 27,000 and Smith three-bet to 94,000 and action folded back around to Russo who made the call.
Russo checked the flop of 3♥Q♥A♠ and Smith continued for 100,000. Russo went into the tank before making the call to see the 9♦ on the turn.
Russo checked once more and Smith announced pot for 417,000 and Russo shook his head and hastily mucked.
Dylan Weisman limped in and so did the cutoff. Jonathan Azoulay then raised the pot on the button only for Weisman to repot for 230,000 total. That got rid of the limper but Azoulay stuck around.
On a flop of 9♥7♠3♣, Weisman jammed for the last 76,000 and Azoulay called.
Dylan Weisman: K♦K♥6♥5♥
Jonathan Azoulay: A♦8♣6♣4♦
Azoulay's wrap made a pair on the A♣ turn but Weisman spiked a straight thanks to the 8♦ river.
Evan Krentzman four-bet out of the big blind and was looked up only by Ben Lamb before they got it in on a A♣8♣4♦ flop with Krentzman at risk for 180,000.
Evan Krentzman: A♦K♦J♣10♣
Ben Lamb: 9♦8♠7♦5♠
The 3♠ turn and 2♠ river kept Krentzman ahead and he pulled ahead of Lamb.
Action was opened to 25,000 in middle position by Bradley Kil. It then folded to Joseph Liberta in the small blind who called. Isaac Kempton was in the big blind and announced "pot" to 100,000. Kil called and action was back on Liberta.
Liberta went into the tank for a moment before putting in the back four-bet to 400,000. Kempton called off for about 225,000 and Kil got out of the way.
Isaac Kempton: A♠K♦Q♥10♠
Joseph Liberta: A♦A♣K♣7♦
The full board ran out Q♠2♥3♥7♠3♠ giving Kempton a flush on the river and keeping his tournament alive.
