Camille Godin had opened to 150,000 under the gun, and Stephen Freeman had called in the cutoff when Yannick Jobin piled in his stack of 2,020,000 from the big blind.
Godin quickly folded, but Freeman asked for a count, pondered out loud for a few moments, and put his opponent on pocket tens before making the call.
Yannick Jobin: A♦K♦
Stephen Freeman: A♣J♦
Jobin did not have pocket tens, dominating Jobin instead. The 8♣5♥3♣6♠A♥ flop saw Jobin's Big Slick hold up, giving him a big double-up and surpassing Freeman in the counts.

Terrance Reid raised to 120,000 in the hijack, being met with a three-bet to 380,000 from Yannick Jobin on the button. It folded back to Reid, who put in a call to the 6♠A♣Q♠ flop.
Jobin continued for 230,000, and Reid called, after which the 4♠ turn checked through. The 3♦ river saw Jobin put in chips again, betting 300,000 after a check from Reid.
Reid quickly let go of his cards, surrendering the pot and seeing the table chip lead move to Jobin.

Action was picked up with Emmett Mullin all in and at risk versus the covering stacks of Ben Miller and Vikrum Mehta.
Emmett Mullin: A♠J♣
Ben Miller: A♦K♦
Vikrum Mehta: K♥J♥
Miller had the best of it and hit top pair and a flush draw on the K♣10♦8♦. Mullin and Mehta were drawing dead on the 3♦ turn and the 8♠ river was a mere formality.

Vikrum Mehta shoved in his last 600,000 under the gun. It folded around to Fabian Rolli in the big blind, who quickly called with the covering stack.
Vikrum Mehta: 9♠9♦
Fabian Rolli: A♥K♠
Mehta's pair remained ahead on the 10♣Q♠6♠ flop and 6♣ turn, but the K♥ river hit Rolli's ace-king to secure the pot and eliminate Mehta in 20th.

Philip Joyce raised to 120,000 in the hijack, which Chen Xiacheng three-bet to 300,000 in the cutoff. It folded back to Joyce, who moved all in for 1,080,000. Xiacheng put in a quick call, and the cards were tabled.
Philip Joyce: A♣K♦
Chen Xiacheng: K♣J♠
"I don't like to see that," Xiacheng stated as the 3♣2♥7♣ flop did not improve him. The K♠ turn was no help to him, and the A♥ river made Joyce two pair to secure the pot.
The stacks were carefully counted, and Xiacheng was left with less than two big blinds after he had paid Joyce.
