This hand was picked up on the 10♥Q♦Q♥2♣ board with approximately 15,000 already in the middle.
Ahmad Rashid went all-in for 12,000 and was called by Thonduru to be at risk.
Ahmad Rashid: 7♥7♦
Prabhakar Thonduru: K♥Q♣
Thonduru was well in control with trip queens as Rashid was in need of a seven on the river to stay alive in the tournament.
The K♠ gave Thonduru a full house instead, as Rashid was eliminated.

Michael Hults began the hand with an open to 1,500 from early position. Michael Rappaport responded with a three-bet to 3,600. Rob Mariano joined the fray with a call from the small blind, and Hults also stuck around with a call.
The 10♣J♣2♠ flop led to a pair of checks from Mariano and Hults. Rappaport chose to continue for 3,500. Mariano check-raised to 7,000, which led to a fold from Hults.
Rappaport called to bring the 7♠ turn. Mariano bet 10,000 on fourth street, but Rappaport wanted to play for all of it as he jammed for 47,000 in response. Mariano gave it considerable thought before he slid out his stack for a call to put Rappaport at risk.
Michael Rappaport: 10♦10♥
Rob Mariano: A♥A♠
Mariano had the best hand until the flop, when Rappaport hit a set of tens to put Mariano's aces in jeopardy.
Mariano was unable to find an ace on the 9♥ river as Rappaport secured the big double-up to send Mariano tumbling down the chip standings.
Mariano was seen leaving the tournament area shortly after as he busted from the tournament.
The board read 9♠2♠4♣ with over 9,500 in the middle when this hand was picked up.
Both Prabhakar Thonduru and Rob Mariano checked from the small and big blinds, respectively. Ahmad Rashid bet 4,000 from under the gun, which was called by Michael Rappaport. Thonduru made the call, but Mariano opted to fold.
All three remaining players checked the 8♠ turn to bring the Q♣ river.
Thonduru took the initiative with a wager of 12,000. He got no takers as Thonduru took down the pot without a showdown.
Stephen Kujubu opened to 1,500 from under the gun, but Jesse Medina chose to pump up the pot with a three-bet to 3,000 from the next seat over. Scott Aulds made the call from the hijack before Kujubu joined the party with a call.
The J♥K♥2♥ flop was checked by Kujubu. Medina continued for 5,000, and that was all she wrote as both Aulds and Kujubu folded to award the skirmish to Medina.
Daniel McGee opened from early position before Victor Campana went all-in for 5,500 from the big blind. McGee called to put Campana at risk.
Victor Campana: 8♠8♣
Daniel McGee: K♠10♠
Campana needed to fade some overcards, and the flop obliged when it came 2♥9♣5♠ to keep Campana in the lead.
The 7♦ turn gave Campana a straight draw to go with the lead.
The river was an overcard, but not one that would doom Campana as the Q♥ peeled to award Campana the double up.

This hand was picked up on the flop of 6♠9♥8♠ with approximately 12,000 in the middle. Thomas Morris clashed with Michael McGonigle as a series of raises led to McGonigle going all-in for approximately 25,000 and Morris making the call to put McGonigle at risk.
Michael McGonigle: K♠K♣
Thomas Morris: 9♦7♦
McGonigle was at risk with the best hand, but Morris was not far behind with his top pair and open-ended straight draw.
The 8♣ turn was a good card for McGonigle as it wiped out any two-pair outs Morris could hit, but he still needed to fade plenty of outs with one card to go.
The turn ended up being a relevant card when the 7♣ hit the turn as McGonigle held with a better two-pair to score the double.
Jack Baldauff opened to 1,200 from early position before Phillip Chiero made the call from the middle position.

Chiero called to bring the A♦ turn. Baldauff fired 2,000 on the turn before Chiero once again made the call.
Baldauff fired a third barrel for 8,000 on the 9♦ river. Chiero did not oblige this time as he opted to fold to award the pot to Baldauff without a showdown.
