From the cutoff seat, Phil Ivey raised to 9,000. Patrik Antonius called out of the big blind, and the flop came down 
. Antonius checked, Ivey bet 9,000, and Antonius check-raised to 22,000. Ivey gave it up, and Antonius won the pot.
Gary Benson just tanked for, what it seemed like, an eternity. The board read 
when Kenny Wong put out a hefty bet worth around 100,000. Benson took his time and thought about it for almost seven minutes. One of the players finally called the clock and Benson folded in the dying seconds of his final minute.
Wong didn't show his cards and is now up to 450,000 chips.

A short-stacked Tom Grigg moved all in from early position for his last 30,000 and received a call from Man Hei Lam in the small blind. Grigg held 
and was in bad shape against the 
of Hei Lam... that is until the flop came down 
.
"How come I only get lucky when I have less than eight big blinds?" Grigg asked with a laugh. "This is like the fourth time this tournament. I get short and then I get lucky." Not only did he get lucky, he got the double as neither the 
turn nor river helped Hei Lam.

We usually don't write chopped pots, but this one was quite unique.
It happened over at Table 10 when Patrik Antonius opened for 9,000 on the button. A short-stacked player then moved all in for 63,500 from the button, the blinds folded, and Antonius made the call.
Antonius: 
Button: 
The Finn had his opponent dominated and the 
flop was safe enough. The button could still win with a ten and could chop if the board either paired the seven or came running threes. Well, a ten didn't show up, and neither did the seven. Instead, the improbable happened as the 
peeled off on the turn followed by the 
on the river. Both Antonius and his opponent had quads and their aces meant it was a chopped pot.
We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know that Stephen Chidwick ended up all in from the small blind for roughly 150,000 and was at risk against Ray Ellis, who barely had him covered.
Chidwick:
Ellis: 
According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Ellis was a 69.61% favorite while Chidwick had a 29.60% chance of survival. The 
flop dropped Chidwick's chances to 16.46%, while the turn cut it down to just 6.82%. Chidwick needed an ace on the river to keep his 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event hopes alive, but he would find no salvation as the useless peeled off.

The player under the gun raised to 12,500, and action folded over to Frank Rusnak in the cutoff seat. Rusnak raised to 28,500, and play folded back to the original raiser. He four-bet to 46,500, and Rusnak came back over the top to 72,500. The under-the-gun player called, and the dealer ran out the 
flop. The first player bet 40,000, and Rusnak called.
The turn was the , and the first player fired 70,000. Rusnak folded, and his opponent showed him the for just a pair of threes.

The board read 
when Steve Bovya moved all in and Gary Benson went into the tank for a few minutes. Bovya's shove was for about 100,000 and Benson ended up calling after quite some tanking.
Bovya showed and that beat Benson's 
.
"Ship it!" Bovya yelled as he managed to double up. The last level of the day has been rough for Benson who's down to just 100,000 chips.
