On a completed board of J♠10♣8♣K♠K♣, Kenji Harada bet 3,500 into the pot of about 9,000, and his only opponent in the hand Aylar Lie raised to 10,000.
Harada tanked for about a minute and ultimately decided to muck his hand as the dealer pushed the pot to Lie.
Alexandros Theologis and Shaun Deeb were heads-up in a pot with around 30,000 in the middle already. The board read 6♦5♣2♠9♦ and Theologis checked from middle position. Deeb was on his left and sized up a bet of 15,200 which Theologis called.
The river was the 3♣ and Theologis thought for a minute before tapping the table. Deeb pushed out his entire stack of around 30,500, putting Theologis back in the tank. After another minute passed, Theologis laid his hand down and Deeb flashed his A♠A♥ to the table.
Fazel Dawood opened from the hijack, and was called by Benoit Grobocopatel on the button and by the big blind.
On 5♥K♥10♣, the big blind checked, letting Dawood bet another 3,200. Grobocopatel called, but not the big blind.
The 7♣ came on the turn, and Dawood continued with a big bet of 22,000. In front of him, Grobocopatel moved all in. Dawood took a long moment, and called.
Fazel Dawood: A♠A♣
Benoit Grobocopatel: 10♥7♥
At risk, Dawood could only hope for a miracle as his aces were beaten by Grobocopatel's two pairs. And Dawood's prayers have been heard, as he hit the K♠ for two better pairs.
Jamie Gold limped in for 500 from under the gun before Jacques Ortega raised to around 2,200 in middle position. The big blind called and Gold also called.
Action checked to Ortega on the flop of J♦2♣4♣ and Ortega continued for 2,600. The big blind folded and Gold check-raised to 6,200. Ortega folded and tapped the table in defeat as the 2006 Main Event champion showed the goods with the J♣.
On the 8♦6♥4♠3♦ turn, Jean-Robert Bellande fired out a bet of 2,000 into the pot of 3,500 and Todd Ivens made the call.
The 2♦ completed the board and Bellande checked before Ivens tapped the table to check back. Bellande rolled A♠10♦ and Ivens dragged the pot with his turned set, showing 3♥3♣.
Players are now on their last 20-minute break of the day.
Here are a few notable hands from late in the evening:

Matthew Silva was all in and at risk for 10,000 from the small blind against Sergi Reixach in middle position, who had him covered.
Matthew Silva: J♠J♣
Sergi Reixach: 10♥10♦
Silva had Reixach pipped and managed to flop a full house on the J♥5♥5♣ board before the K♣4♠ runout earned him a small double.
Reixach lost an earlier pot against Jim McManus, who got to showdown with aces to chip up slightly.
