Anatoly Nikitin opened to 60,000 from early position and Fabrice Bigot called from the hijack. Stephen Song waited for a few moments and then jammed for 880,000 from the small blind. Nikitin asked for a count and once confirmed he moved all in which folded out Bigot.
Stephen Song: A♣K♦
Anatoly Nikitin: J♠J♣
Song was behind until he paired up on the A♠10♦3♣ flop and he held to double following the 9♠ turn and 4♠ river.

After checking through the 6♦Q♦K♠4♣ turn, Anuj [Removed:550] and Mike Vanier saw the river fall the 7♦.
[Removed:550] was first to act and he bet 125,000 into the pot of around 400,000 but then Vanier shoved all in, covering his opponent.
[Removed:550] then went deep into the tank, using all six of his time banks for this decision. As he reached the end of his clock, he set out a stack of chips and made the call, putting himself at risk.
Vanier did not like this call and flipped over J♣10♣ for a missed straight draw and jack-high, to which Agarwla jumped up and proudly flipped over K♣9♣ for just a pair of kings to win the massive pot.
Meanwhile, across the room, Nick Yunis was eliminated by Erfan Geula when his ace-ten couldn't improve against Geula's ace-queen.
Jonathan Pastore was all in for 125,000 from under the gun and was at risk to Anatoly Nikitin, who called from the big blind.
Jonathan Pastore: A♦7♠
Anatoly Nikitin: K♥6♥
Pastore paired up on the Q♣J♣7♦ to level Nikitin drawing to three outs. The Q♥ changed nothing but the K♠ river gave Nikitin a better pair and Pastore bust.
A bad bust for Pastore on the river https://t.co/aKTuEPfWgs https://t.co/9IhfIeIMvt

The remaining 35 players are now on their first 15-minute break of the day and will return to action shortly.
Peter Turmezey opened to 50,000 from early position with David Stamm and Sundiata DeVore calling from middle position and the hijack.
Ben Palmer made it 265,000 from the small blind and Turmezey jammed for 290,000 total.
Peter Turmezey: Q♠Q♥
Ben Palmer: K♠K♣
Palmer called for a four following 7♥6♣5♦ flop as Palmer noted Turmezey as a "nice guy." The 9♠ brought in some chop outs but Palmer improved a set on the K♥ river to down his opponent.

Short-stacked Anuj [Removed:550] moved all in preflop for his last 70,000 and was called by Mo Zhou and Bradley Hinson. \\
The flop came out 4♣6♠A♥ and Zhou checked to Hinson who bet 55,000. This prompted a quick fold from Zhou and the cards were tabled, with [Removed:550] at risk of elimination.
Anuj [Removed:550]: A♠3♥
Bradley Hinson: 7♠7♣
[Removed:550] was ahead with his top pair of aces, and the runout of 9♦5♠ was clean for him to secure the pot for the triple-up.
The seat that once held Jeremy Ausmus is now vacant. Nick Yunis told PokerNews the hand that eliminated Ausmus.
Michael Stashin opened before Ausmus jammed for around 300,000. Johan Ibanez reshoved to isolate and Stashin folded.
Jeremy Ausmus had AxJx and was up against QxQx. Ibanez flopped a set and held on the turn and river to oust his opponent.
Ben Palmer opened to 50,000 from the hijack and was called by Ivan Galinec and David Stamm from the cutoff and big blind.
Action checked to Galinec on the J♦3♠8♦ flop, who fired out 55,000. Stamm made it 190,000 and both players quickly folded.
Dong Chen moved all in from preflop from the button and was called by Nadya Magnus to put hi at risk. \
Dong Chen: 6♠6♣
Nadya Magnus: 10♠10♦
Chen needed some help to catch up to Magnus' superior pair, but the flop of 8♦J♣10♥ gave Magnus top set to leave Chen drawing only to a runner-runner straight to chop.
The 9♥ gave him hope with the straight draw on the board, but the A♣ on the river was a brick and Chen was sent to the payout desk.
