Under the gun, Jon Shoreman raised to 20,000 and Hye Park called from middle position and Steve Zolotow called from the big blind.
Federico Quevedo laid out his theory of 2-7 as he folded. "I'm only playing pat wheels. Save the thinking for other games."
Each of the remaining players drew two cards, then Shoreman moved all in for his remaining 175,000. Park called and Zolotow folded.
Park turned over 8x7x6x3x2x and after two more draws, Shoreman could not improve his 8x5x3x2x draw, pairing an eight on his last chance to avoid elimination.
On the next hand Quevedo raised and took down the blinds. "Not quite a pat wheel," he joked, "but close."
Daniel James raised to 25,000 from under the gun, and middle position Tamon Nakamura, cutoff Tomasz Gluszko, and big blind Dimitrios Michailidis all called.
They were shown a flop of 8?2?K?, and it was checked to Gluszko, who bet 45,000 and everyone folded.
Action caught up with Erick Lindgren in early position contemplating a river bet that was enough to put him all-in against Day 2 chip leader Jon Turner in middle position.
The full board read 10?2?Q?6?5? and after a few moments of deliberation, Lindgren made the call for his tournament life.
Erick Lindgren: A?A?4?2?
Jon Turner: A?J?10?4?
"Good call." said Turner after turning his second pair into a bluff and giving Lindgren the full double.
Alberto Fonseca raised to 20,000 from middle position and was called by Julio Belluscio in late position. David Funkhouser then committed his remaining 77,000 chips all-in from the small blind, with Fonseca calling and Belluscio folding.
David Funkhouser: A?K?6?6?
Alberto Fonseca: A?K?J?3?
Funkhouser had the slight lead heading into the 10?5?8? flop, but the 7? turn and the J? river would leave him unimproved and give Fonseca the scoop.
