Joao Vieira raised to 50,000 in early position. Istvan Birizdo then three-bet to 140,000 from the hijack, and Vieira moved all in over the top.
Birizdo called, putting himself at risk for 555,000.
Istvan Birizdo: 10♥10♦ 
Joao Vieira: Q♠Q♦
The runout was an innocuous 4♥2♦K♠2♥9♣. Vieira's queens comfortably held, kncoking out Birizdo in the process.
The action folded to Cole Griffith on the button. He moved in his stack of 425,000, and Emilien Pitavy quickly called from the big blind.
Cole Griffith: Q♠9♠
Emilien Pitavy: K♦K♣
Griffith paired up on the Q♦2♣6♦ flop, but the 2♦ turn removed some of his outs. The 10♣ river was not a queen, so Pitavy's kings held and scored the knockout.
Akihiro Konishi open-raised to 50,000 under the gun. It folded to Konstantin Voronin, who pushed all in for 495,000. Konishi snap-called once the action had folded back to him.
Konstantin Voronin: J♠J♣
Akihiro Konishi: A♠A♣
Voronin was drawing dead after the K♥K♦6♣K♠ turn, and the meaningless Q♥ river completed the board before he departed.
Ruslan Zhmak flicked in a raise to 50,000 under the gun. Punnat Punsri flat-called in the hijack, after which Danilo Velasevic squeezed in a three-bet to 215,000 from the small blind.
Zhmak quickly got out of the way, but Punsri back-raised all in. Velasevic wasted no time in calling for 885,000, just below an average stack.
Danilo Velasevic: A♦K♠
Punnat Punsri: 10♠10♥
Velasevic paired on the 3♥A♣9♠ flop, and the 9♣ turn and A♠ river made him a full house. He claimed the big pot, leaving Punsri with less than 30 big blinds in his stack.
Thomas Muehloecker open-shoved on the button for his last 420,000. Marcelo Aziz quickly called in the big blind, and the duo showed down.
Thomas Muehloecker: A♦6♦
Marcelo Aziz: A♠K♦
Muehloecker did not find any help on the 5♣9♠3♠10♥9♣ runout, so he was eliminated.
Level: 14
Blinds: 10,000/25,000
Ante: 25,000
It folded to Leong Juns on the button. He raised to 40,000, only to be shoved on by chipleader Jingyao Yan, who was sitting in the small blind.
Juns gave it some thought, then called off his stack of 590,000.
Leong Juns: A♠J♥
Jingyao Yan: 10♠10♣
Juns could not connect on the 5♥5♦2♣K♥9♦ board, and he left the tournament area empty-handed. Meanwhile, Yan became the first player to cross the three-million mark.
Punnat Punsri opened to 40,000 in early position, and Ihar Soika flat-called in the hijack. Tamazi Skhirtladze then squeezed in a three-bet to 130,000 on the button. Punsri quickly folded, but Soika called after a small tank.
Soika then checked the 3♥3♦4♣ flop to Skhirtladze, who placed a small bet of 45,000. Soika raised to 125,000, and Skhirtladze called.
Soika sized down to 75,000 on the 9♥ turn. Skhirtladze flicked in more calling chips, and the 8♠ appeared on the river.
Soika seemed to slow down as he checked, enticing Skhirtladze to move all in for 260,000. However, Soika snap-called and revealed he had set the trap with 9♠9♣; a full house.
Skhirtladze tabled A♥J♥ for just ace-high, and quickly departed the tournament area after.
Xiaosheng Zheng raised his button 50,000, and Mikita Badziakouski upped the ante to 140,000 from the small blind. Zheng called, after which the 5♠6♣8♥ flop was dealt.
Badziakouski continued for 100,000, and Zheng flicked in calling chips. Badziakouski then moved all in on the 10♥ turn. Zheng called, putting himself at risk for 365,000.
Xiaosheng Zheng: 8♣7♣
Mikita Badziakouski: K♣10♠
The 3♠ river was safe for Badziakouski's top pair. He sent Zheng to the rail and, as a result, eclipsed the two-million mark.
