Zhen Chen opened to 12,000 from under the gun and was called by Pranav Bhatt in the cutoff for a heads-up pot.
Both players checked on the 4♣5♦2♥ flop and then Chen check-called a 20,000 bet from Bhatt on the 10♣ turn.
The 6♠ completed the board and Chen checked a final time — prompting a 55,000 bet from Bhatt.
Chen tanked a bit before deciding to call and Bhatt tabled A♠10♦ for top pair, top kicker. Chen sent his hand into the muck and Bhatt was sent the pot.
Marc Seymour shoved for a bit over 100,000 from under the gun and just behind him, Paris Sitzoukis also shoved for more. Everyone else got out of the way and hands were revealed.
Marc Seymour: 5♥5♠
Paris Sitzoukis: 9♠9♣
Seymour would need some help to survive, but the 3♥3♠3♦10♠K♣ runout kept Sitzoukis best with his nines and Seymour was eliminated.

On a completed board of Q♦3♦4♠6♠9♣, Stev Lackovic was in early position and was faced with an all in from Joe Antar, who had Lackovic covered from the big blind.
Lackovic went deep into the tank, but eventually called all in for his tournament life for over 100,000.
Antar showed Jx7x for a stone bluff and Lackovic turned over 10♦10♠ for a pair of tens to earn the double up.
Robert Sabados opened on the button and was three-bet by Ehsan Amiri in the big blind. Sabados responded by shoving and Amiri called all in for 158,000 total.
Ehsan Amiri: 7♣7♠
Robert Sabados: 5x5x
Amiri found himself in good shape to double up with his bigger pair, and the Q♠6♣2♣A♣Q♥ runout kept him best to send him the pot.
