David Baize had one green chip left and Shaotong Chang was the only caller and happened to have aces A♣A♠. Baize blazed through those aces with his J♦7♥ on a board of 10♣9♦K♥8♣7♦ where he hit his straight to stay alive.
The next hand witnessed he was automatically all in on the big blind 225,000 and an early position player, Ryuta Ogawa raised to 525,000 and everyone else folded and he was heads up with the lucky Baize.
David Baize: K♥7♠
Ryuta Ogawa: A♣8♥
The board ran out (of course in favor of Baize) with 10♥4♥J♦5♥9♥ and Baize hit the flush on the river.
The very next hand Kharlin Sued was in late position and pushed all of his chips in except for one green chip and then laughed as he realized that he did not have enough now to keep one green chip due to the blinds going up. Sued was all in for 300,000. Lucky Baize also moved all in for his new stack of 650,000 and the big blind, Mihai Niste who had a massive stack declared, "I just want to call because this is my favorite hand" and so he did.
Kharlin Sued: J♦10♠
David Baize: K♣J♥
Mihai Niste: 6♣2♠
The board ran out J♠8♦A♦5♥2♣ and lucky Baize won again with his pair of jacks with a king kicker, Sued was knocked out of the tournament and Niste still has a big stack.
Roongsak Griffeth opened to 600,000 from the cutoff and Sanjeev Kapoor moved all in from the small blind for approximately 5,000,000. Ronald Sims called for less in the big blind and Griffeth opted to fold.
Ronald Sims: A♦A♥
Sanjeev Kapoor: K♥J♥
The board ran out K♦3♠2♥4♠2♣. Sims two pair, aces and twos, was better than Kapoor's two pair, kings and twos, and he received a full double up.

Derek Kwan raised to 425,000 from the cutoff and Lisa Hamilton three-bet all in for 2,425,000 effective. Kwan made the call.
Derek Kwan: 6♠6♦
Lisa Hamilton: A♦Q♣
The board came out J♦5♣3♣J♠7♥ and Kwan dodged a bullet to win with his pair of sixes giving him two pair.
Yuchung Chang raised to 300,000 from the button and Lucia Antunes defended with the call. The flop came out 6♥6♣J♥ and both players were slow playing and checked.
The turn was the 3♣ and Antunes bet out 500,000 and Chang made the call.
The river 2♦ had Antunes betting out 1,000,000 which essentially would put Chang all in. Chang pushed all in for 1,150,000 and Antunes called for the small amount more.
Yuchung Chang: J♣J♦
Lucia Antunes: 6♦10♥
Antunes held the trip sixes and Chang had the full house for the win.
