Mustafa Biz put his last 400,000 across the line from under the gun with only Samuel Dray making the call from the big blind.
Mustafa Biz: 10♦5♣
Samuel Dray: K♥8♦
Biz was behind, but did have two live cards working for him. The flop came 10♠9♦4♥ to put Biz in the lead with a pair of tens. The J♠ turn gave Dray a straight draw. The river was the Q♠, improving Dray to a straight, and eliminating Biz from the tournament.

Pascal Hartman had his stack of around 4,200,000 in the middle from the hijack and was put at risk by Daniel Heredi in the small blind.
Pascal Hartman: 10♥10♦
Daniel Heredi: J♠J♣
It didn't look good for Hartman and the J♦9♣3♥ flop made it worst as Heredi made top set. A K♠ on the turn did give Hartman a sweat with a gutshot, but the 3♦ river bricked off, meaning he was out.

Dawid Smolka limped in from the small blind with 6♦4♦ and Alexandros Kolonias checked with Q♦3♥.
They saw the 6♠8♥6♣ flop where Smolka check-called a bet of 600,000 from Kolonias to the 9♦ turn, where again Smolka checked. Kolonias fired out, this time for 1,200,000, and again Smolka called with his trips.
A 4♥ on the river gave Smolka a full house and both quickly checked it down, allowing Smolka to take it down.

Andreas Christoforou made it 675,000 from the first position, and Natalia Nikitina three-bet to 1,600,000 from the big blind with around 5,000,000 behind. Christoforou thought for a few moments before he shoved to put Nikitina all in. Nikitina snap-called.
Natalia Nikitina: K♠K♥
Andreas Christoforou: 9♦9♥
Nikitina had Christoforou crushed as the two saw the flop come down 7♣5♣7♥. The J♠ turn meant only a two-outer on the river would send Nikitina to the rail. The river was the 9♣ to give Christoforou the winner with a full house, ending Nikitina's Main Event dreams in brutal fashion.

There was a raise to 600,000 from early position before Ege Guven three-bet to around 2,000,000 from the hijack. Hassanin Hashim four-bet shoved the button for 10,100,000, which got the initial opener to fold. Guven called and the cards were turned over with Hashim at risk.
Hassanin Hashim: K♣K♦
Ege Guven: A♥K♠
Hashim was on the right end of a cooler and would see his chip stack skyrocket if he could avoid an ace. The board ran out Q♦J♠8♠Q♠3♦, which meant Hashim's Cowboys held up, earning him the double.

Hossein Ensan opened from the cutoff to 600,000 and Anthony Spinella defended his big blind.
On the flop of 2♥5♣7♠, Spinella checked and Ensan shoved. Spinella had almost 4,000,000 behind and quickly called.
Anthony Spinella: 7♦5♠
Hossein Ensan: A♠6♠
Ensan seemingly wanted to bully Spinella, who had flopped top two and was going absolutely nowhere. Just as it seemed Spinella was going to cruise to a double-up, the A♦ on the turn made things a bit sweaty as Ensan found some outs.
Luckily for Spinella, he boated up on the 5♥ river, allowing him to double up.

Nenad Dukic shoved from 3,700,000 from the small blind and Sam Trickett made the call from the big blind.
Nenad Dukic: Q♦7♦
Sam Trickett: A♦6♣
Dukic was behind but took the lead on the Q♥2♥6♠ flop after he paired his queen. A 7♣ on the river gave Dukic two pair, but he still needed to fade the aces and sixes of Trickett to double up.
A 5♠ on the river didn't change the outcome of the hand, and Dukic stayed alive.

Raoul Kanme opened from under the gun and Moshe Ory Refaelowitz called from the big blind with a very short stack.
On the K♠5♦7♥ flop, Refaelowitz shoved his last 350,000 and got a quick call from Kanme.
Moshe Ory Refaelowitz: 9♦7♣
Raoul Kanme: J♣J♥
Refaelowitz may have felt good about flopping a piece of the flop but certainly didn't when he saw the hand of Kanme. However, the rollercoaster of emotions continued as he made two pair on the 6♦9♥ runout, which kept him in contention.
