On the flop of 
, Taylor von Kriegenbergh checked to his opponent. The player bet 12,500 and von Kriegenbergh called.
The turn brought the 
to pair the board and von Kriegenbergh checked. His opponent slid out a tall stack of chips worth 28,000. Von Kriegenbergh called again.
The river completed the board and both players checked.
Von Kriegenbergh's 
for aces and eights with a king kicker was the winning hand as his opponent mucked. Von Kriegenbergh moved to nearly 1.5 million and is still leading the way.
Action folded to the player in the small blind and he raised to 15,000. Daniel Negreanu was in the big blind and made the call to watch the flop come down 
. The small blind bet 16,500, Negreanu called, and the dealer burned and turned the 
.

Joe Hachem raised to 18,000 only to have Pat Pezzin move all in for around 75,000. Hachem made the call and it was off to the races:
Hachem:
Pezzin: 
The 
flop was kind to Hachem, pairing his ace and giving him the lead. The turn changed nothing and Pezzin needed a six on the river to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, it was not meant to be as the 
peeled off. Pezzin was eliminated from The Big Event while Hachem has mounted a nice comeback and now sits with a bit over 300,000.
In early position, Shawn Hart opened the pot to 13,500, and Chris DeMaci three-bet to 32,000 on the button. From the big blind, David Baker was thinking sinister thoughts. He snuck in a cold four-bet, making it 80,000 total. Hart gave a long look -- long enough for Baker to order some food from the Porter -- before folding, and DeMaci asked Baker how much he started the hand with. It was another couple minutes of staring and head shaking before DeMaci released as well, and Baker scoops up the dead money.
Mark him down for about 345,000 now.
Shawn Busse raised to 13,000 from the hijack position and action folded to Alex Kamberis in the small blind. He three-bet to 41,000 after asking Busse how much he had. Cynthia May folded her big blind and then Busse was back up. He moved all in for about 200,000 more and Kamberis called.
Kamberis: 
Busse: 
The board ran out 
to give Kamberis the win and send Busse to the rail. Kamberis is up to about 545,000 in chips now.
