Justin Young opened to 125,000 from under the gun and called when Leo Taffe made 330,000 from the cutoff.
Young check-called for 160,000 on the 10♠3♦2♣ flop and then check-jammed as the big stack, after Taffe bet 390,000 on the 6♠ turn. Taffe wasted little time in folding.

Big stack Johann Ibanez opened to 125,000 but then short-stacked Jeffrey Stellwagon moved all in for 780,000. Ibanez thought for a moment before making the call to put Stellwagon at risk of elimination.
Jeffrey Stellwagon: A♦10♦
Johann Ibanez: K♦10♥
Jeffrey Stellwagon was in a great position to double up as he had his opponent dominated, but the poker gods did not agree with him as the flop came out K♥6♠K♠ to give Ibanez trip kings right out of the gate.
The turn 2♠ left Stellwagon drawing dead and the meaningless6♥ completed the board as Stellwagon headed to the payout desk in 17th place.

Fabrice Bigot opened to 125,000 and then was raised to 500,000 by big stack Mo Zhou. Action folded back around to Bogot who then ripped it all in for around 2,000,000. Zhou thought about it for just a second before he made the call to put him at risk as the cards were tabled.
Fabrice Bigot: J♠J♥
Mo Zhou: A♥K♦
Bigot was ahead in this classic flip, but the flop of K♥Q♣4♥ was not his friend as it gave the lead to Zhou. The A♠ on the turn further improved him to two pair and the Q♥ on the river completed the board to award Zhao the pot, eliminating Bigot in 18th place.

Michael Stashin jammed for 850,000 from the button and Johann Ibanez called from the small blind.
Michael Stashin: K♣10♣
Johann Ibanez: A♣9♦
The K♦ was in the window but was followed by the 9♥9♠ to give Ibanez trips. The 6♣6♠ improved the big stack to a full house and Stashin's run ended.

Benjamin Sai: A♥7♣
Ivan Galinec: A♦10♦
Galinec went on to make Broadway on the K♥6♠Q♣2♥J♠ runout to bring the tournament to its final 19 players.

Johann Ibanez opened to 125,000 from under the gun and called when Erfan Geula jammed for 585,000 from the button.
Erfan Geula: A♠8♠
Johann Ibanez: A♦10♥
Ibanez' superior hand remained best on the J♣6♥2♣5♥Q♥ runout, and Geula was eliminated.

After a raise from Fabrice Bigot preflop, Ivan Galinec announced he was all in and Bigot snap-called, putting himself at risk.
Fabrice Bigot: A♠A♠
Ivan Galinec: K♣Q♦
Bigot was a huge favorite to double up here, and the runout of 3♠K♦J♥J♦2♦ secured his victory to increase his chip stack.
