Steve Karp

Steve Karp moved all in from under the gun for 270,000 and Dan Colpoys called out of the big blind.

Colpoys showed As10c and had Karp’s Ad9d dominated.

The Kh7s3d flop kept Colpoys in the lead, but the 9s came on the turn to give Karp the best of it. Colpoys needed a 10 on the river to end action for the day, but the 6c came on the river and Karp doubled up.

Steve Karp – 585,000
Dan Colpoys – 690,000

Aditya Prasetyo

Ray Qartomy raised from under the gun and Aditya Prastyo three-bet on the button. Qartomy called.

The flop was 5d5s4s and Qartomy moved all in. Prasetyo called off his remaining 745,000 and the cards were tabled.

Qartomy showed 9s8s and needed to hit a spade against Prasetyo’s QdQs.

The turn was the 2c and the river was the 6d. Prasetyo’s pair was good enough to secure the double up and quickly become one of the biggest stacks remaining.

Aditya Prasetyo – 1,965,000
Ray Qartomy – 1,200,000

Shahin Yazdani

Shahin Yazdani moved all in from under the gun for 235,000 and was called by Ray Qartomy on his direct left. Aditya Prasetyo called on the button and Ankush Mandavia went deep into the tank in the big blind.

Eventually, Mandavia folded and any further action would create a side pot between Qartomy and Prasetyo.

The flop was Qh10c7s and Qartomy was cutting out a bet before announcing he was all in for effectively Prasetyo’s remaining 800,000. Prasetyo quickly folded.

Qartomy showed KhKs and was in good shape against Yazdani’s As3s.

The turn was the 9h and the river was the 4d. Qartomy’s kings held up and Yazdani was eliminated in 11th place for $19,300. Qartomy, on the other hand, is neck-and-neck with Shannon Shorr for the chip lead.

The final 10 players are all guaranteed at least $23,335 and will play until one more player is eliminated.

Ray Qartomy – 2,200,000
Shahin Yazdani – Eliminated

Luke Brereton

David Shmuel raised from under the gun and action folded to Luke Brereton in the big blind, who moved all in for about 300,000. Shmuel called.

Shmuel tabled KhQc and was flipping against Brereton’s 8c8d.

“I folded king-jack suited,” said Ray Qartomy before the flop came out.

The flop was 7s[3d2s, which kept Brereton in the lead, but the Kh came on the turn to give Shmuel the best hand. The river was the Qc and Brereton was eliminated in 13th for $15,315.

David Shmuel – 1,650,000

John Haas

Francis Anderson was in the hijack and got into a preflop battle with John Haas on the button. The stacks were close, but it was Haas that was all in for just shy of 300,000.

It was a race situation with Haas’ As9h up against Anderson’s 2s2h.

The flop was Jd10c9c, which put Haas in the lead with a pair of nines, but the 2c came on the turn to give Anderson bottom set. It left Haas drawing dead to the 7h river.

Haas was eliminated in 14th place and took home $15,315 for his deep run.

Francis Anderson – 655,000

Ankush Mandavia

Ray Qartomy raised from under the gun and action folded to Ankush Mandavia in the small blind, who moved all in for 250,000.

“I’m gambling,” said Qartomy as he called the bet.

It was a race with Qartomy’s QdJh up against Mandavia’s 7c7d. The board ran out clean for Mandavia as it came 6h3c2d8hKc.

Mandavia won the flip and doubled through one of the bigger stacks in the field.

Kenneth Frey

Dan Colpoys raised from under the gun and Kenneth Frey moved all in for about 150,000 next to act. Action folded back to Colpoys who called.

Frey was in a dominating spot with his AcKs up against Colpoys’ Ah10c. That is until the flop came Qs10d6s, giving Colpoys a pair of 10s and the best hand.

Frey needed a king or a jack to stay alive, but the 2h on the turn and the 3s on the river sent him to the rail in 15th place for $15,315.

Dan Colpoys – 730,000
Kenneth Frey – Eliminated
