Manuel Fritz shoved from the small blind and Jamil Wakil called off his stack of 2,750,000 in the big blind.
Jamil Wakil: A♥5♦ 
Manuel Fritz: Q♠6♥
Wakil needed to hold, and the A♦J♦J♣ flop was a fantastic start as he made top pair. Fritz was drawing dead by the time the 8♦ landed on the turn, with the meaningless 8♥ filling out the board.
Level: 23
Blinds: 200,000/400,000
Ante: 400,000
Aram Oganyan opened the hijack to 600,000 and Armin Ghojehvand three-bet the small blind to 2,000,000. When it got back to Oganyan, he clicked it back to 3,400,000. Ghojehvand called.
They saw a flop of Q♥5♣2♥, where Ghojehvand check-called a bet of 1,850,000 from Oganyan to see the 9♥ fall on the turn. Ghojehvand checked it over again and Oganyan went small with a sizing of 1,100,000. Ghojehvand shoved, and with around 6,500,000 total, Oganyan called.
Aram Oganyan: K♠K♥
Armin Ghojehvand: Q♠Q♦
Oganyan had pocket kings with a fliush draw, and he needed to improve as Ghojehvand had flopped top set. All eyes were locked on the river, and when the 10♠ dropped, Oganyan wished his tablemates good luck as he departed.
David Nicholson raised to 600,000 from under the gun and Daniel Rezaei shoved 2,300,000 from the small blind. Nicholson called.
Daniel Rezaei: A♥Q♥
David Nicholson: 3♥3♦
Nicholson had been on a real heater, and that looked to be continuing ont he 7♥9♦2♦ flop as his pocket threes kept their lead. However, Rezaei found a pair on the Q♠ turn to vault to the front. A K♠ on the river changed nothing, and Rezaei put a small dent in Nicholson's momentum.
Level: 22
Blinds: 150,000/300,000
Ante: 300,000
David Nicholson is just unstoppable.
Johan Guilbert shoved around 2,000,000 from the hijack and Nicholson called from the big blind.
Johan Guilbert: 4♠4♦
David Nicholson: A♠10♣
Guilbert was ahead with his pocket fours, and the 2♦Q♠Q♣ was clean for them. The 3♥ on the turn put him one card away from a double-up, but the 10♥ river paired Nicholson, ending Guilbert's tournament.
David Nicholson had taken down about four pots in a row before he made it 500,000 from early position. "Loopoo" then shoved from the big blind for around 2,000,000, and Nicholson called.
"Loopoo": 10♠10♥
David Nicholson: K♦J♦
"Loopoo" was all-in again, but this time he couldn't escape elimination as Nicholson flopped a pair on the 6♣Q♦K♠ flop and held through the A♣9♣ runout, which left "Loopoo" out in eighth.
David Nicholson opened the hijack to 500,000 and Markkos Ladev shoved around 3,000,000 from the small blind. Nicholson snap-called.
Markkos Ladev: K♥Q♠
David Nicholson :K♦K♣
It was very bad news for Ladev, who needed a miracle to survive. That miracle never played out as the 8♦7♠J♥J♣A♠ runout left Ladev drawing dead by the turn, which ended his run in ninth.
Jamil Wakil opened the hijack to 500,000 and Daniel Rezaei three-bet to 2,800,000 in the cutoff. "Loopoo" called for 700,000 on the button, and when it got back to Wakil, he folded.
"Loopoo": Q♦Q♣
Daniel Rezaei: 9♠9♦
"Loopoo" held a huge lead with his pocket queens, and never looked in doubt to more than triple up as the K♦6♦4♦6♣2♦ runout left him with a bigger flush.
