Anthony Tacda was all-in for 230,000 before the flop with the Q♥Q♦ and found himself in dire need of help.
Ryan McAllister had him pipped with the K♥K♦ and nothing changed on the 510c9s6s] flop and 4♦ turn. However, the Q♠ river let Tacda gasp in celebration as he came from behind to double.

In a battle big blind versus button, Henrik Tollefsen bet the A♠4♦2♣8♦7♣ river for 73,000. Suya Lee went into the tank and reluctantly called to win the pot with the A♦K♥, as Tollefsen only revealed an inferior A♥J♦.

Hal Rotholz defended the big blind against an open raise by Emmanuel Segismundo and check-called a bet worth 28,000 on the A♦Q♦J♥5♥ turn. The 10♦ on the river completed a possible straight and flush, prompting both players to slow down and check.
Rotholz tabled the 10♣9♠ which Segismundo had beat with the Q♣J♣ for two pair.

Youngsoo Yang took the most classic of flips with Q♥Q♠ against the A♦K♠ of Jinlong Hu. The A♥8♥6♠9♥4♥ runout was a roller coaster as Yang got there with the flush.
Hu was left short and got it in out of the blinds with the 6♣6♠ eventually, this time running into the higher pair. Stephen Nathan revealed the J♥J♠ and locked it up on the turn of a 8♦5♥5♠J♣3♣ board.

Terrence Dizon was all-in for 87,000 with the Q♥10♦ and at risk versus Day 1b chip leader Ryan McAllister, who revealed the A♣J♣. The K♠9♣6♣ flop left Dizon on thin ice but he spiked the Q♦ turn, the 2♥ river was then a blank.
In the meanwhile, several players were eliminated to reduce the field to the last seven tables.

"I folded ace-jack," Alessandro Taranto told Wai Keong Yong while the latter was busy dragging in a lot of chips. Those had previously belonged to Byungwook Ahn, who was now headed for the payout desk.
The A♦K♦ of Ahn were in the muck already while Yong's 7♥7♦ earned the knockout with a full house on the Q♥8♠7♠J♦8♣ board. According to the players at the table, Ahn had raised to 80,000 out of a stack of 200,000 and then called all-in when Yong jammed.
One hand later, Ngoc Anh Cao raised to 16,000 and folded to a three-bet worth 40,000 by Yong.

Ngoc Anh Cao raised to 16,000 and Alessandro Taranto three-bet to 38,000. It folded back to Junnie Pamplona who four-bet jammed for around 125,000. Cao folded and Taranto snap-called.
Junnie Pamplona: A♦K♣
Alessandro Taranto: A♣A♠
The A♥9♣4♠ flop left Pamplona drawing dead, making the 4♣ turn and 8♦ river a formality.
