Manoj Thapa bet the 7♣4♣3♥2♠8♣ river for almost half of his stack and Jyrki Hilakari then moved all-in. Thapa tank-called with the A♠A♥ and was shown the A♣10♣ for the rivered ace-high flush to lave Thapa flabbergasted.

Jeffs' J♣J♦ was ahead but fell behind to Graham on the Q♦10♦9♣ flop. The 8♥ turn gave Jeffs the straight and the 10♣ river secured the double elimination.
Naz Sibaei raised to 40,000 and then called a three-bet to 130,000 by Joshua Abady as they he3aded to the Q♥4♠2♣ flop. Abady's continuation bet was raised and he jammed, Sibaei instantly called.

The kicker played on the J♦10♦5♣6♣2♠ runout to send Abady to the payout desk next.
The stack of Michael Tomeny was counted while his cards and the board were showing, and Adrian Di Girolamo on the other side of the table was shell-shock. Tomeny's Q♠Q♥ had hit a four card flush on the K♠7♣4♠6♠3♠ runout and that cracked the aces of Di Girolamo as confirmed by other players at the table.
"Sorry, that's twice in the tournament now," Tomeny said when his 682,000 was confirmed to have covered.
On his way out, Di Girolamo replied "you got my number".

Andrew Kyriakou raised to 40,000 and then called the shove by Weng Wong for 175,000, which Kyriakou called.
Weng Wong: 9♣9♦
Andrew Kyriakou: J♠9♠
Wong only needed to fear the three remaining jacks after the 8♥6♦3♣A♥ turn, but one of them came on the J♣ river.
During the break, Thomas Pearce mentioned that he was down to only two big blinds at 3,000-6,000/6,000 and then scored a very fortunate double-up when his opponent flopped a full house. He then picked up aces twice for a full double and now sits on a huge stack.
Another spin up story was Joshua Abady who had 12 blinds near the bubble and first doubled to then nearly triple up. He got it in for 27 big blinds against Jackson Oldham and Domenico Zappia with the latter covering both.
Jackson Oldham: A♥K♦
Joshua Abady: J♦J♣
Domenico Zappia: K♥K♠
The J♥6♦4♥3♦2♣ runout gave Abady a set of jacks for the near triple up, Oldham was gone and Zappia took a big hit.
