In a single-raised pot in a battle of the blinds to the 9♠8♥5♥ flop, the raising war got the chips into the middle between Ruben Padilla and Joe Hachem with the latter at risk for 1,340,000.

Joe Hachem: 5♣5♠ All in
Ruben Padilla: J♥J♠

The 9♥ turn gave Padilla some more outs but the K♦ river was not among them, vaulting Hachem to a big stack close to the final three tables.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jinyu Wang

Shortly after his double, Jinyu Wang three-bet jammed and initial raiser Higor Seibel, who had opened to 85,000, didn't even ask for a count but quickly placed one additional chip for the call.

Jinyu Wang: A♣K♠ All in
Higor Seibel: Q♥J♣

The J♠J♦4♦ flop gave Seibel trips jacks and the 2♣ turn sealed Wang's elimination prior to the now meaningless K♦ on the river.
