Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Benjamin "Guppie" Lingenfelder got involved in a three-bet pot to the K♦K♥4♣ flop which he bet for 8,000. His opponent raised to 25,000 and Lingenfelder folded to get shown K♠Q♦.
In the last hand of the level, Lingenfelder looked up the preflop all-in by Alan Jung for fumes.
Alan Jung: 9♦8♦ 
Benjamin Lingenfelder: A♦5♦
"I think I gonna win this one," Lingenfelder grinned and that prediction came true on the A♣J♣2♥6♦4♣ board.
He then told the dealer "I never win a hand before the break ... it's destiny" before heading out of the tournament area.

"I have lost my balls!" Rudolf Fourie loudly exclaimed when he bolted away from the table. He had folded preflop when a shorter stacked Hadar Goren was all-in with with 8♣8♠ against the 10♦10♥ of Rajeev Poonhath, who remained ahead all the way on the A♣A♠4♥7♠5♣ runout.
Apparently, Goren had already been eliminated by Poonhath earlier today only to re-enter and meet his nemesis again.

On the tail end of a A♣6♠3♣2♣J♣ board, Cliton Taliwanth bet 13,000 with a shorter stack behind. Dhinesh Soopramanien from Mauritius pondered about his decision for a while and called. Taliwanth tabled the 9♠5♠ for a bluff and Soopramanien won the pot with A♠J♥ for two pair on the four flush board, further boosting his large stack.

Rajeev Poonhath raised to 3,000 from under the gun and Rayhaan Adam called in the cutoff. Colin Horgan then made it 15,000 to go from the big blind and Poonhath then simply pushed all-in.
Adam folded and Horgan used one time bank extension before doing so as well, exposing the A♠J♠.
Poonhath showed his A♥K♦ and Adam replied "I was way ahead of both of you, I had pocket eights":
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Hennie Appel raised to 2,700 and was called by Jean Souprayenmestry from the next seat. Alvin Pillay called on the button and Maxwell Young then jammed for 10,800 in the small blind. Appel folded, Souprayenmestry went all-in over the top and Pillay let go.
Maxwell Young: A♥9♠
Jean Souprayenmestry: Q♦Q♥
The premium pocket pair was cracked on the A♠K♣J♠2♠5♠ runout and Young survived.
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Devid Berlin limped from under the gun and called a raise to 3,000 by Stephen Courtney in the next seat. On the A♦10♥3♣ flop, Berlin check-called a bet and they checked the 9♠ turn to the J♦ river. Berlin now bet 10,000 with around 15,000 behind and he called all-in to the shove by Courtney.
The 3♦3♥ of Courtney for bottom set were good to score the knockout, as Berlin's A♠J♣ had flopped top pair and made two pair on the river.
