Opening the pot under the gun, Josh Evans made it 95,000 to go, and Jonathan Poche reraised to 205,000 in position. Evans answer was a shove all in over the top, and Poche laid his hand in the muck.
Evans moves ahead of Poche with that pot, sitting with 1.32 million to his opponent's 1.21 million.
Under the gun, Todd Wood opened to 85,000, and Jake Bazeley three-bet shoved for 660,000 from the big blind. Wood didn't waste any time calling with the 
, and Bazeley's 
had him in bad shape to stick around.
The 
flop was not particularly good for "Bazeman", and the turn 
left him dead to a chop. He needed to pull one of the tens in the deck to make Broadway, but the river 
was most certainly not one of them.
That marks the end of Bazeley's day in 6th place, good for a payday of $23,416. With that knockout, Wood moves back into second place with 1.94 million now.
We've lost another player, and this time it's Billie Payne heading to the rail.
It was the 50th hand of the day when Payne open-shoved for 510,000 from the hijack seat with 
. He almost made it. The table passed around to the big blind where Jonathan Poche squeezed out 
and made the easy call with Payne's tournament life in the balance.
There was no help at all on the 
flop, and the turn 
and river failed to save Payne's tournament life. He's out in 7th place, pocketing more than $18,000 for three days' work.
Billie Payne opened to 110,000 in early position, and Jake Bazeley three-bet all in for 450,000 total. Payne could not call, and he folded to leave himself with just about 600,000. Bazely moves just ahead of that now, bumping his stack up to 615,000 and out of the bottom spot.
Jonathan Poche raised to 85,000 in early position, and Todd Wood three-bet to 145,000 from the cutoff. Poche four-bet to 290,000, and Wood shoved all in over the top. That finally coaxed a fold from Poche, dropping back to about 900,000 while Wood climbs to 1.6 million.
Jake Bazeley raised to 85,000 under the gun, and Jonathan Poche three-bet shoved for a healthy 595,000 total. "Bazeman" spent some time in the tank before making the call, and it proved to be the correct one as he was flipping with a chance at the knockout.
Showdown
Bazeley: 
Poche: 
The board ran out blanks, coming 
, and Poche isn't going anywhere right now. He's doubled back to 1.145 million, knocking Bazeley down to the short stack of 545,000.
We've got a big pot!
First into the pot from the hijack, Todd Wood made it 85,000 to go, and Bobby Toye flatted from the big blind to go heads-up to the flop. It came 
, and Toye check-called a bet of 115,000. On the 
turn, he took the betting lead with 200,000 of his own chips. Wood called that bet, and he called another 350,000 after the 
river.
Toye tabled 
for top-top, and it was good. Wood mucked, dropping down to 1.22 million in the process. It's a big boost to Toye's stack, vaulting him into the chip lead with 2.25 million.
From the hijack seat, Josh Evans raised to 95,000, and Todd Wood three-bet to 240,000 from the big blind. With the action back on Evans, he four-bet shoved all in for just less than a million total, and Wood could not call.
After that exchange, Wood is back to 2 million flat, while Evans advances to 1.24 million.
