Tai Truong moved all in for 336,000 from under the gun, and was at risk when Yixian Wang three-bet to 750,000 in middle position.
Tai Truong: A♦10♦ 
Yixian Wang: A♣Q♦
Truong was in bad shape as the cards were revealed, and Wang hit two pair on the J♥Q♥A♥ flop. Truong made a straight on the K♣ turn, and saw a clean 4♦ river to secure the double-up.
Anthony Hachem opened to 50,000 before Jeison Berdugo three-bet to 140,000 on his immediate left. Hachem called to see the J♣6♣7♣ flop, and took some time before tapping the table.
Berdugo continued for 110,000, and Hachem made the call. Another check from Hachem followed the 4♣ turn, where Berdugo slid out a bet of 150,000.
Hachem called, and checked one last time on the 5♠ river.
"I feel like I'm betting into the nuts," said Berdugo after taking some time. He opted to check it back, and Hachem turned over 9♠9♣ for a flush. That was good enough to claim the pot, as Berdugo sent his cards into the muck.
Level: 22
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
Ruben Padilla raised to 50,000 and Zanxin Li then jammed one seat over for 315,000 in the cutoff. Joe Hachem on the button asked for a count and flat-called, both blinds folded. Padilla then pushed all-in for more than 1.6 million total and Hachem opted to fold.
Zanxin Li: A♠J♠
Ruben Padilla: Q♠Q♣
"Ace king?" another player asked Hachem who nodded.
No ace came on the 8♣7♣3♦2♣10♦ board and that spelled the end for Li in 34th place.
Shurane Vijayaram had gotten one shove through earlier to steal the blinds and was then in the big blind to defend against an open raise by Hun Wei Lee. On the J♠10♦7♥, the short stack of Vijayaram went into the middle and Lee had an easy call.
Shurane Vijayaram: Q♣J♥
Hun Wei Lee: 10♠10♥
Vijayaram needed running cards to avoid elimination and picked up some outs with the 7♠ turn, however, the 2♣ river was a blank.
Joe Hachem raised in middle position to 50,000, and Bobby Zhang defended his big blind before checking the J♥3♥6♠ flop. Hachem continued for another 50,000, and the call was made.
Zhang checked again on the K♠ turn, and Hachem slowed down by checking it back. Zhang tapped the table one last time on the K♥ river, and Hachem took a moment before betting 150,000.
That was enough to see Zhang send his cards into the muck, and Hachem took down the pot.
Yixian Wang raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and called a three-bet to 126,000 by Haibo Chu on the button.
The 4♣3♥2♥ flop saw Chu continue for 75,000 and he was check-raised to 200,000 by Wang, which Chu opted to call. On the A♥ turn, Wang used three time banks before he bet 500,000. Chu moved all-in and Wang called instantly.
Haibo Chu: A♠A♣
Yixian Wang: 5♠4♠
The river was the blank 7♣ and the aces were cracked.
Mario Doria committed his stack of around 450,000 preflop and was snapped off by Naz Sibei two seats over in the blinds.
Mario Doria: K♥Q♠
Naz Sibaei: A♥A♣
The aces held throughout a 4♠2♦2♣9♣K♣ board to eliminate Doria just shy of the final four tables.
In a min-raised pot to the 4♠4♣3♠ flop, Andrew Kyriakou bet 35,000 and Martin Pound called. The 8♠ came on the turn and Kyriakou bet another 125,000, Pound folded.
Jim Giannoukos opened to 75,000 in the cutoff, and Katy Lo moved all in for 220,000 on the button. Giannoukos stuck in the call, leaving Lo at risk.
Katy Lo: J♠10♠
Jim Giannoukos: 10♥8♠
Giannoukos picked up additional outs on the 9♠7♦3♣ flop, and completed his straight on the J♥ turn. Lo was unable to hit the 2♣ river, ending her run as Giannoukos collected the chips.
