Nate Silver raised to 20,000 on the button and was called by Anthony Hu in the big blind.
Hu check-called a 15,000 bet from Silver on the Q♠6♥3♣ flop and checked again on the 8♦ turn. Silver bet 60,000 and Hu shoved for 100,000 total — sending Silver deep into the tank.
Silver eventually folded and Hu showed 8♣6♣ as he collected the pot.
Stephen Chidwick raised from the cutoff to 20,000, finding Patrick Chi in the big blind, who called.
The flop of 5♦7♠4♥ checked through to the 9♥ on the turn. Chi lead out for 15,000, Chidwick raised to 55,000 and Chi moved all in for 181,000. Chidwick called.
Patrick Chi: 9♦7♦
Stephen Chidwick: A♣A♦
The river fell the J♠ and Chi cracked aces to double up.
Sergio Aido moved his entire short stack into the middle from the cutoff and was snap called by Jun Obara in the big blind.
Sergio Aido: A♥10♦
Jun Obara: K♥10♥
Aido, though at risk, was in an excellent spot to get a full double as he had Obara dominated. The 4♥6♥10♠ flop spelled immediate trouble for the Spaniard as Obara picked up a flush draw. That draw came in straight away on the 2♥ turn to leave Aido hoping for another heart on the river for the better flush. It did not happen, however, as the 3♠ completed the board to bring Aido's tournament to an end shortly after the dinner break.

David Peters limped in from the small blind. Fabrice Bigot raised to 36,000 from the big blind and Peters called.
Peter's check-called a bet of 40,000 from Bigot on a flop of 4♠7♦7♥.
The 6♥ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Bigot sizing up to 80,000.
The river fell the 8♠ and Peters checked again. Bigot moved all in putting Peters to the test for his remaining 230,000. Peter made a quick call.
Peter's showed 7♠5♠ for flopped trips that had improved to a straight on the river. Bigot showed 9♠5♣ having gone runner-runner to make a bigger straight, eliminating Peters.
"You're running like God" Benjamin Teng at the table commented.
Justin Liberto was heads-up from the big blind against Ran Koller on the button on a flop of J♣J♠6♠.
Liberto checked to Koller, who bet 12,000. Liberto then check-raised to 29,000. Undeterred, Koller made it 80,000 to go and Liberto quickly folded — conceding the pot to Koller.
[Removed:548] raised from the cutoff to 16,000, the small blind three-bet to 55,000 and Greg Merson in the big blind called off the bet for his last 37,000. [Removed:549] responded with a four-bet to 100,000 and the small blind folded.
Greg Merson: J♠J♣
[Removed:548]: A♥A♣
The board ran out K♥9♣2♦10♠K♦ and the 2012 Main Event champion Merson was the bubble boy, leaving all remaining 83 players in the money.
