In a three-way pot on a flop of 3♥2♦6♥, Alexandros Theologis bet 75,000 in the big blind and Alex Foxen raised to 180,000 in the cutoff as Francois Billard folded on the button.
Theologis then came over the top by three-betting all in, bringing a fold from Foxen.
Kyle Lin raised from under the gun and Ali Abdulzahra and Nick Palma called in the blinds.
Palma checked on the flop of 4♠K♣6♥ and Lin continued for 30,000. Abdulzahra called and Palma check-jammed for 80,000. Both opponents called and Abdulzahra then check-folded on the 10♥ turn.
Nick Palma: K♥7♣ 
Kyle Lin: K♦Q♥
Palma was out-kicked and couldn't hit a seven as the A♠ confirmed the New Yorker's elimination.
Benjamin Heath opened to 40,000 from under the gun, and chip leader Andy Wilson defended his big blind.
Wilson checked the 7♥J♥K♣ flop, and Heath continued for another 40,000. That produced a fast fold from Wilson, as Heath raked in the pot.
Georgios Sotiropoulos was all in for 280,000 against Yu Zhang.
Georgios Sotiropoulos: A♠J♠
Yu Zhang: 9♣9♠
Sotiropoulos took the lead on the flop of 3♠6♥A♥ with a pair of aces and stayed ahead for a double as the board finished out K♣4♠.
Action was three-handed to the Q♠Q♦10♠ flop, with Cedric Schwaederle checking in the small blind and Gilles Simon following with a check in the big blind.
Vitalii Pankov fired a bet of 40,000 on the button before Schwaederle check-raised to 115,000. Simon got out of the way, and Pankov called to see the J♣ turn.
Schwaederle checked again, folding instantly when Schwaederle slid out a bet of 160,000 to take the pot.
