Cong Pham raised to 20,000 in the cutoff, finding a call from Cary Katz in the big blind.
Katz checked the J♠5♠5♥ flop, and Pham continued for 20,000. The call was made, and both players checked the Q♣ turn.
Katz then led out for 25,000 on the 8♠ river, and Pham stuck in the call. Katz showed A♦Q♦ for two pair, taking down the pot as Pham mucked his hand.
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 25,000 from the cutoff before Vinny Lingham three-bet to 75,000 on the button. It folded back to Thorel, who made the call.
The flop came 4♥3♦2♦, and Thorel check-raised a bet of 100,000 from Lingham to 300,000. Lingham made the call to see the 7♥ on the turn, and both players checked to the A♥ on the river.
Thorel checked once more, as did Lingham, who made a set on the river tabling A♠A♦. Thorel was thrilled to see he avoided disaster after being dealt the ultimate cooler preflop, tossing K♠K♦ in the muck to give Lingham the pot.
Clemen Deng opened to 20,000 in middle position, and Adrian Mateos made the call in the hijack. Thomas Boivin slid out a three-bet to 60,000 on the button, and Deng took some time before four-betting to 200,000.
Mateos got out of the way, and Boivin's shove for 257,000 was quickly called.
Thomas Boivin: Q♣Q♥ 
Clemen Deng: 10♠10♦
Boivin faced no danger on the K♥9♠K♣7♦8♠ runout, seeing his queens hold to earn the double-up.
Albert Daher raised to 20,000 from the hijack, and when it folded to Nick Petrangelo on the button, he three-bet to 56,000. It then folded back to Daher, who moved all in. Petrangelo called, putting himself at risk for his stack of 352,000.
Nick Petrangelo: Q♥Q♦
Albert Daher: A♥K♦
It was a classic flip with Petrangelo ahead with his pocket queens, but after the A♦9♦9♣K♠3♣ runout, Daher improved to two pair, aces and kings, to take the pot and eliminate Petrangelo.
Clemen Deng limped from the small blind, calling again after Adrian Mateos raised to 35,000 in the big blind.
The K♥7♦7♠ flop produced a pair of checks, and the 9♣ turn hit the table. Another round of checks led to the K♠ river, where Deng used almost his entire 30 seconds before announcing a bet of 80,000.
Mateos did not take long to send his cards into the muck, and Deng collected the pot.
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and once it folded to Danilo Velasevic in the cutoff, he three-bet to 50,000. It folded back to Kaladjurdjevic who four-bet, covering Velasevic's stack of 214,000, which he called to put himself at risk.
Danilo Velasevic: J♥J♦
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: K♥K♦
Velasevic ran into the kings of Kaladjurdjevic, and could find no help on the 2♠3♠A♣A♠2♥ runout, giving the pot to Kaladjurdjevic and eliminating Velasevic.
Daniel Dvoress opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 18,000, and when it folded to David Einhorn in the small blind, he three-bet shoved his stack of 177,000. Aleksejs Ponakovs in the big blind then four-bet jammed for 730,000, and Dvoress made the call for his stack of 404,000, setting up a three-way all-in with Einhorn and Dvoress at risk.
David Einhorn: 7♥7♦
Daniel Dvoress: Q♥Q♦
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♥K♣
Einhorn was in a world of hurt, while Dvoress and Ponakovs were flipping. However, after the J♠7♠9♦ flop, it was Einhorn who jumped in front with a set of sevens.
Nothing changed after the 5♣ on the turn or the 8♥ on the river, as Einhorn took down two premiums and tripled up, while Dvoress profited slightly by taking the side pot from Ponakovs.
Orpen Kisacikoglu was all in and at risk, facing Leon Sturm on his left.
Orpen Kisacikoglu: K♠K♥
Leon Sturm: Q♦J♦
Kisacikoglu improved to a set on the 10♥9♥4♠K♦3♣ runout, but Sturm found a straight to score the knockout.
