Elias: 10 10
Board: J♣3♥J♥ 4♥ 5♥ giving Hartshorn the Ace high flush and a double up.

The very next hand Hartshorn opened to 50k, Elias 3-bet to 200k, and BB Stanton Tentowski moved all in for 900k. Action folded back to Elias with a couple hundred thousand more thinks and eventually makes the call.

UTG+1 Robert Elias raised to 50k pre, action folded around to Sean Ruane in the SB who moved all in for 445k, Elias calls.
Ruane: AQ
Elias: 44
Flop comes out and there is a 4 right in the window giving Elias a set, and turns a boat to win the hand and knock out Ruane in 23rd place for $4,579. Elias currently has about 1.5M in chips.
Despite being down to just 45k when the field hit the money a couple levels ago, Steven Lerner ran his stack up to just under 500k. The last hand in level 21 before break, Harrison Dobin mid position opened to 40k pre flop, Lerner from the SB 3-bets to 150k, Dobin moves all in for about 700k to Lerner who has 480k to start the hand. Lerner tanks for a couple mins and eventually makes the call.
Lerner: AQ
Dobin: K10
The board runs out A high for Lerner to have top pair and double up to now have just over a million in chips.
With just 24 players left, the remaining players are redrawing for seats at the final 3 tables.
UTG Matthew Silberzweig raised all in for 195k, UTG+1 with over 2M in chips Casey Mann calls, action folds around to Rob Goldbaum moves all in over top from the BB for about 1.3 M in chips. Mann tanks and announces out loud, “I feel like you have AK,” but eventually folds. Both players show they indeed do have AK, and Mann says he had folded pocket 10’s. Despite having each other’s outs the board still runs out K high for a chop, and Mann dodges losing about half his stack.
