Martin Carnero opened to 250,000 from the cutoff and Nipun Java three-bet all in for 1,175,000. The blinds let go and Carnero took a few minutes to consider his options.

Carnero called with KcTc but was dominated by Java’s AhTd until the KdTs8d flop. The 3s turn left Java with three outs to stay alive but missed the Qs river to go out in 7th place for $88,243.

With that elimination, the clock has been paused with 1:21:45 remaining in the level as the final six players bag up their chips for the Poker Night in America live-streamed final table tomorrow afternoon. We will post chip counts and information to watch the final table either live or online.

The final hand before the break turned out to be the last one for Joel Harwood.

Nipun Java raised UTG+1 to 175,000, Joshua Gibson called from the small blind, and David Prociak called from the big blind.

The flop came 9h6c2h, and Gibson bet 260,000. Prociak folded, and Java called. The turn was the Kh, Gibson bet 350,000, and Java called.

The river was the Jc, Gibson checked, Java bet 700,000, and Gibson tanked for more than two minutes before he folded, asking if Java would show his cards. On the rail, Chance Kornuth shouted, “Show a bluff! For the fans!”

Java showed one card — the As — as he took the pot. Kornuth yelled, “One card isn’t a bluff!”

Gibson said, “I had ace-deuce,” which would have given him bottom pair. But Java got the pot.

Allen Green fired his last 7,000 chips in the pot in Razz with two cards up and Peter Cleven made the call.  Green came close but his ten-high hand of 4h4d5s6dAsTsAd came up just short against Cleven’s nine-high hand of 6c2cKcQd3d8h9d taking him out of the tournament.

Allen Green finishes in 4th place winning $1,113.

After striking out the previous hand, Gary Johnson put his last 13,000 chips in the middle and was called by Elsie Rodriguez and Joel Harwood.  Johnson’s opponents both checked down the 2dTsTh5c9s board.

Rodriguez turned up AcAh7h8h for two pair.  Johnson had AsQsKsQc which was not enough to catch up and Harwood threw his hand away.  Rodriguez took the hand and has pulled even with Peter Cleven for the chip lead with four players remaining.

Gary Johnson finishes in 5th place winning $890.

A few hands after Dylan Drazen was sent out, Peter Walsworth took a shot to double up. David Prociak opened to 180,000 and Walsworth moved all-in for 750,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds let their hands go and Prociak quickly called with TsTc.

Walsworth was in trouble with 9s9d and the 8c6s2c6cKc board did nothing to improve it. He was sent out in 8th place while Prociak jumped into the chip lead.

The Championship is one elimination away from shutting down for the evening and returning for tomorrow’s live-streamed final table.
