Edward Hatzakortzian opened to 15,000 and Mario Stanic three-bet to 45,000, which the initial raiser called. Both checked the Q♠7♣4♦ flop to the 7♦ turn on which Hatzakortzian jammed for 70,500, Stanic called.
Edward Hatzakortzian: 5♦2♦ 
Mario Stanic: A♣K♥
Stanic's hero-call with ace-high was correct but the 5♣ river brought a cruel beat for Hatzakortzian to double.
Jordan Batis had been moved to table 18 not long ago and pushed for just over the starting stack to get called by Darryl Gassali in the next seat.
Jordan Batis: Q♣J♣
Darryl Gassali: Q♠Q♥
The J♦6♥2♥3♥9♦ runout provided just one jack and that sent Batis out of the door.
Perry Jeffs raised to 10,000 and Michael Zhang three-bet to 30,000 thereafter. Jeffs then jammed for 187,000 and Zhang asked for the amount before he made the call with the inferior stack.
Michael Zhang (AUS): 8♥8♦
Perry Jeffs: A♦J♣
The K♠Q♥J♠10♣3♠ board paired up Jeffs on the flop and broadway on the turn.
Jonathan Braude was the chip leader on Day 1d but he won't be making the money in this tournament as he was just knocked out by Hongbo Ju.
Jonathan Braude: A♦10♦
Hongbo Ju: Q♣Q♥
The J♠7♣2♥8♥5♣ board provided no ace or diamonds to knock out Braude.
Akram Marcus opened to 12,000 before Lei Su slid out a three-bet to 36,000. Benjamin Pockett then moved all in as next to act, and Marcus let his hand go.
Su took some time before making the call, leaving himself at risk.
Lei Su: Q♣Q♦
Benjamin Pockett: A♣K♦
The classic race saw Pockett connect with the 10♦10♣A♠A♥10♠ runout, making a full house to send Su to the rail.
Jeison Berdugo moved all in from middle position for 35,000, and Wee Klan Tay stuck in a call from the big blind.
Jeison Berdugo: A♠10♦
Wee Klan Tay: Q♠10♠
Berdugo was in a great spot, and watched his ace-high hold on the 5♦9♠4♥J♣3♠ board to secure the double-up through Tay.
Oliver Corrie was all-in for 67,000 in a flip and up against Anthony Hachem in the following preflop contest.
Oliver Corrie: A♣10♣
Anthony Hachem: 5♥5♠
The Q♠5♦4♠ flop left Corrie with a mountain to climb, and the A♥ turn left him drawing dead to the 7♥ on the river.
A shorter stacked Luka Djumic jammed the cutoff for 72,500 and Sean Ragozzini reluctantly called all-in from the button for the starting stack after his re-entry. Both blinds folded including Alan Xerri, who mentioned he had folded ace-jack suited.
Sean Ragozzini: A♥10♣
Luka Djumic: 8♠8♦
The Q♦10♠9♦A♣4♦ board improved Ragozzini, who was anti-sweating his possible knockout with Djumic.
"I had ace jack of diamonds," Xerri added.
Djumic had 12,500 left and busted right after.
Arturo Castro checked the Q♠8♣J♦10♥ turn in middle position, and Liam Neeson slid out a bet of 20,000 in the cutoff. Castro made the call, and checked again after the 7♠ river hit the felt.
Neeson counted out a bet of 22,000, and Castro used a time bank card before tossing in a calling chip. Neeson turned over 10♠10♣ for a set of tens, taking down the pot as Castro mucked.
