Live Updates:
Duy Ho Eliminated in 5th Place ($185,378)
Duy Ho started the level second in chips with almost 50 big blinds, but was the next player eliminated as Ashkan Razavi took a monster chip lead going into four-handed play.
Duy Ho opened the pot for 300,000 before the flop, Ashkan Razavi reraised to 640,000 from the small blind, Ho four-bet shoved for about 3,700,000 and Razavi called. Razavi was ahead before the flop with K

against Ho’s 3

.
The board came A10576, offering no help to Duy Ho who was eliminated in 5th place ($185,378). That hand put Razavi way out in front with over 9 million for roughly sixty-percent of the chips in play.
Ryan Olisar Eliminated in 4th Place ($252,379)
Ryan Olisar was left with less than two big blinds after losing a big race to Amanda Musumeci with AQ against her 55. Musumeci flopped a set and rivered a full house to double through Olisar and leave him on the short stack with just a few big blinds.
On the next hand, Olisar was all in on his big blind and the other players limped in to see a flop. All three players checked the side pot through the river on a board of J76K2. Ashkan Razavi made the best hand with 53 to make two pair as Olisar threw his 83 into the much. Ryan Olisar was eliminated in 4th place ($252,379) as Ashkan Razavi extended his chip lead to over 10 million that hand.
