Nenad Dukic was first to act and made it 225,000. Players folded to Halil Tasyurek on the button, who called. Terry Fleischer in the big blind also called.
The flop of 5♥A♠10♥ got checked around.
The turn was the 3♣, this time Fleischer decided to bet 300,000. Dukic folded, but Tasyurek on the button took a moment to think and then called.
The river was the 3♦. Fleischer thought a while but then decided to check, Tasyurek also checked. Fleischer flipped over 9♥8♥ for the busted flush draw, and Tasyurek was able to take down the pot with his pocket pair, 6♠6♥.
David Coleman opened to 170,000 from the hijack and Bryce Welker shoved all in for around 950,000 chips from the small blind. Asher Conniff was sitting in the big blind and also shoved, which forced Coleman out of the pot.
Bryce Welker: K♠Q♥
Asher Conniff: A♣Q♦
Welker was dominated and never found any help after the board ran out 8♠2♣10♣7♥5♠ which meant he was eliminated in ninth.
