Paul Runcan raised to 240,000 with A♥9♣ from the hijack. Siegfried Kapeller called from the button holding 8♠8♦ and Pedro Marques called out of the small blind with A♣J♦.
The flop fell 6♣4♠7♠ and he action checked to Kapeller. He put out a bet of 300,000, which forced a fold from Marques, but a call from Runcan.
The 6♦ dropped on the turn and Runcan check-folded to a bet of 700,000 from Kapeller.
Anton Bergstrom raised to 240,000 from the hijack and Barak Oz shoved from the small blind for almost 1,200,000. When it got back to Bergstrom, he called.
Barak Oz: A♠Q♠ 
Anton Bergstrom: J♠J♦
Oz was flipping for his tournament life and got his race off to a good start on the A♥6♥7♠ flop. An A♦ on the turn improved him to trips, and left Bergstrom with just two outs to thin down the field. Instead, a 10♠ rolled off on the river, and Oz earned himself a double-up.
Paul Runcan raised with K♣Q♣ to 240,000 from the hijack and Siarhei Alontsau defended with 5♠5♦ out of the big blind.
The flop came down A♥Q♠8♠ and Alontsau decided to check-call a bet of 150,000 by Runcan.
Alontsau checked for a second time when the 6♣ appeared on the turn. Runcan bet 410,000 and Alontsau carved out the call.
The J♠ dropped on the river and Alontsau checked for the last time. Runcan bet 1,200,000 and Alontsau quickly folded.
Jaehyung Park shoved from the cutoff for 1,080,000 and Paul Runcan called from the big blind.
Jaehyung Park: A♦10♣
Paul Runcan: K♣Q♣
Park had his nose in front, but needed to sweat the runout as there were still five cards to come. A 3♦2♦9♠ flop didn't give Runcan anything to work with, and neither did the 9♥ turn. Park just needed to fade one more card to double up, and he managed it as the A♠ river gave him top pair.
Paul Runcan made it 240,000 from the button and Siegfried Kapeller called out of the big blind with 6♠3♠.
They saw a flop of 4♠9♦A♠ where Kapeller check-called a bet of 200,000 from Runcan. On the J♠ turn, again Kapeller checked, and Runcan fired 525,000. Kapeller then put in a raise to 1,400,000, and Runcan called.
When the 4♦ paired the board on the river, Kapeller burned through three time bank cards before he slid out a bet of 1,700,000. Runcan, immediately moved all in, which put Kapeller to the test for his remaining stack of almost 1,600,000.
After using another time bank, Kapeller elected to fold his flush. Runcan asked Kapeller if he wanted to see his cards, Kapeller agreed, then Runcan showed 3♥2♣ for a stone cold bluff.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still. What just happened?
Chaos.
On the very next hand, Siarhei Alontsau raised to 240,000 from early position and Paul Runcan three-bet to 680,000 from the cutoff. Alontsau four-bet shoved for 2,450,000 and Runcan snap-called.
Siarhei Alontsau: A♥A♣
Paul Runcan: K♠K♦
Alontsau was on the fortunate end of the ultimate cooler and just had to fade a king to earn the double-up.
A flop of 9♥5♠5♦ kept Alontsau ahead with his bullets. The 10♠ turn meant only a king on the river would end Alontsau's Main Event. However, a safe 5♣ dropped to give Alontsau the winner with a full house and he doubled up through Runcan.
Siegfried Kapeller shoved from the hijack for 1,510,000 and Pedro Marques called from the cutoff.
Siegfried Kapeller: A♦Q♥
Pedro Marques: 9♠9♦
Kapeller, who was sitting comfortable just moments ago, was now a coinflip away from being eliminated. His hopes of survival were severely dashed when Marques made a set on the 9♥7♣J♦ flop, but some hope arrived in the form of 10♦ on the turn as Kapeller picked up an open-ended straight draw. However, the A♠ river wasn't what he needed, and Kapeller hit the rail.
Just like that, Kapeller’s rollercoaster journey came to an end.
Pedro Marques raised to 240,000 from the hijack and Tjenno Eskes defended out of the big blind.
The flop fell 7♠A♣6♥ and Eskes check-called a bet of 160,000 from Marques.
The 5♣ appeared on the turn and both players checked to see the 2♣ land on the river. Eskes led out for 225,000 and Marques called.
Eskes showed a flush with 9♣6♣, which was good as Marques mucked two pair holding A♠5♠.
The remaining 7 players are now on a 20-minute break.
Here's a look at some of the highlights from the last level.
