Action was on the flop on a board of J♣8♠Q♦ and two players were all in.
David Moshe: A♥A♣ 
Opponent: 10♠9♥
Moshe had pocket aces, but his opponent had flopped a straight. The 10♣ turn and 2♥ river finished the job, and Moshe was sent to the exit in 40th place.
George-Mircea Tomescu pushed nearly all-in from middle position with a short stack, leaving just a few chips behind. Kirill Solovev shoved from the small blind and Tomescu threw in the rest. He was at risk as players revealed their cards.
George-Mircea Tomescu: J♣10♣
Kirill Solovev: K♠K♣
Tomescu had run into kings. The 2♣9♥A♣ flop gave him very little to work with. The J♥ turn brought a little hope for Tomescu, but that was dashed on the 8♥ river. Solovev won the pot and Tomescu was eliminated.
That brought the player count to 40 with 37 set to make it through.
Panayiotis Panayi open-raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Razvan Sabau reraised to 255,000, which Panayi called.
The flop came A♦9♥5♥ and Sabau continued for 150,000. Panayi called to see the 10♣ turn and Sabau checked. Panayi pushed all in, sending Sabau into the tank. He folded and Panayi took down the pot.

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Players in the Main Event are going for a 10-minute break close to the bubble, with 41 players remaining and 37 set to get paid.
The under the gun player was all in for 215,000 and action was on Adrian State in the big blind. State gestured to his opponent and pretended to lift up his cards before making the call.
Under the Gun: A♦K♥
Adrian State: K♠Q♣
The board ran out 3♦7♣3♥2♥5♣ and State lost some of his chips, doubling up the under the gun player.
On the same table, Hao Zhu chipped up to around 3,500,000, making him one of the chip leads with just five players left to bust.
Yen Han Chen raised from under the gun and action folded around to Yoash Trokman, who moved all in from the button for 390,000. Chen called to out Trokman at risk as the cards were turned.
Yoash Trokman: 8♠8♥
Yen Han Chen: 9♦9♣
Trokman was in trouble against Chen's pair of nines. The board came 10♠3♠7♥2♦A♠ and Chen held to win the pot, sending Trokman to the rail.
The small blind moved all in and Boris Smuskevicius made the call with a short stack. He was at risk as the cards were turned.
Boris Smuskevicius: A♥6♥
Small Blind: A♣10♣
Smuskevicius was dominated, and the board ran out 2♣Q♣J♦7♣K♠ to give his opponent the broadway straight. Smuskevicius was eliminated with just 10 players to go before the end of Day 1a. Can't win them all.
Level: 15
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
Picking up the action on the turn on a board of 9♦J♠3♠3♣, the hijack checked and Luiz Antonio Duarte Ferreira Filho bet 300,000 from the cutoff. The hijack moved all in and Filho snap-called with the shorter stack.
Luiz Antonio Duarte Ferreira Filho: K♥K♦
Cutoff: A♦J♣
The cutoff had two pair, but Filho had two pair with an overpair, kings and threes. The river was the harmless 7♦ and Filho held to double up his stack, putting him in a solid position late on in Day 1a.
