JC Alvarado and Artem Metalidi got all the chips in pre-flop and it was left to a good old fashioned race to decide the fate of Alvarado’s tournament life.
JC Alvarado: 
Artem Metalidi: 
Unfortunately for the Mexican, the board ran out 
and he departed in 15th place while Metalidi stacked up to 376,000.
Davidi Kitai shoved for his last 35,000 from under the gun and Dengfeng Yu reshoved for 120,000 from two seats over. Daniel Dvoress checked the stacks of Yu and the players behind him before announcing the call, while everyone else got out of the way.
Davidi Kitai: 
Dengfeng Yu: 
Daniel Dvoress: 
The board ran out 
and the rail of the Belgian, including Pierre Calamusa and Fabrice Soulier, applauded as Kitai made a backdoor straight to triple up. Yu however was sent to the rail.

Here are some tips on how to play tournaments with a very fast structure while you wait.
There has been a last-gasp burst of action and Vladimir Troyanovskiy and Zhao Hongjun have departed in a flurry of cards and chips.
We caught the action in Troyanovskiy's bust out hand on the turn in a heads up pot between the former and Daniel Dvoress with the board reading 
with the Russian facing down a 106,000 bet from the Canadian.
Troyanovskiy burned through nearly the entire allotted 30-seconds before shoving for a little under 260,000 but was called instantly by Dvoress – and did not look happy about this at all. When the cards are turned over we can see why.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy: 
Daniel Dvoress: 
The Russian was in bad shape, left drawing to the deck’s two remaining jacks, neither of which appeared on the river to send Troyanovskiy to the rail.
While this was happening Zhao Hongjun and Jack Salter became involved in a huge hand that cost the former his tournament life.
We missed all of the action and only arrived in time to catch the aftermath, but Salter was kind enough to recap the action for us before heading off for his dinner.
Pre-flop it was Hongjun who was the aggressor, with Salter calling in position with 
and hitting gin when the flop came down 
. Unaware he had walked into a monster Hongjun checked the action over to Salter, who fired for 27,000. The Chinese player sealed his demise after choosing to check raise to 62,000 with Salter craftily smooth calling to set the trap.
Hongjun led out for 95,000 on the 
turn and Salter smooth-called once again and the river came down a meaningless 
.
The Chinese player fired out a 100,000 bet, leaving himself 80,000 behind, which he called off when Salter moved all-in, but could only tap the table and stand up to leave when Salter rolled over the stone cold nuts.
JC Alvarado raised to 26,000 from under the gun and Shuo Li called in the big blind. On a flop of 
, Li checked and Alvarado bet 23,000. Li check-raised to 50,000 and Alvarado folded.
Two hands later, Quan Zhou raised it up to 26,000 and Alvarado called in the big blind, then check-folded the flop.
Over on table two, Nick Petrangelo made it 27,000 to go from the cutoff and Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 68,000 out of the small blind. Fabian Quoss then four-bet shoved for 254,000 and that forced two folds to award the pot to the German without any showdown.
Daniel Dvoress raised to 26,00 from under the gun and Vladimir Troyanovskiy called on the button, Nick Petrangelo tossed in the extra chips from the big blind. On the 
flop, Petrangelo checked and Dvoress bet 28,000, which only Petrangelo called. After the turn, Petrangelo checked for a second time and Dvoress claimed the pot with a bet worth 60,000.
One hand later, Mikita Badziakouski raised to 25,000 from under the gun and Dvoress three-bet to 85,000 in order to force a fold.
