Benjamin Grise opened 50,000 under the gun, and the action folded around to Andrew Hulme as he defended the big blind.
On the Q♥3♦3♠ flop, Hulme check-called a bet of 50,000.
The K♥ turn received checks from both players and the 8♣ fell on the river.
Hulme dropped a bet of 180,000 across the line and Grise snap-called. Hulme tabled A♠J♣ for ace-high, and Grise dragged the pot with A♥K♠.
Chance Kornuth bet 50,000 from early position on a flop of 5♥8♦5♣ and Rene Lazaro called in the small blind.
The turn came the J♠ and Lazaro checked over to Kornuth, who bet another 85,000. Lazaro then came back with a raise to 300,000 and Kornuth leaned over the table to get a good look at Lazaro's bet before he called.
The 7♠ fell on the river and Lazaro slowed down and checked. Kornuth grabbed a few chips but ultimately decided to check back as Lazaro showed 7♣6♣.
Kornuth turned over 10♠8♠ for eights and fives to take the pot. "I was afraid I was going to have to raise if you bet," Kornuth told Lazaro.
Andrey Pateychuk opened to 50,000 from the hijack and was called by Zachary Hall and Wayne Nicholsen from the button and the big blind.
Pateychuk continued for 55,000 on the 10♠7♦4♠ flop and only Hall called.
Pateychuk then check-called for 85,000 on the 6♦ turn.
The Q♣ river checked through to showdown and Pateychuk tabled 8x8x but was bested by the 10♦9♣ that Hall held.
Tamas Lendvai had a large percentage of his chips in the middle, with roughly only 150,000 sitting behind. Dario Delpiano shoved all in on his left and Lendvai went into the tank, trying to get a pay jump. After a minute had passed, the clock was called and Lendvai eventually stuck in what was left.
Tamas Lendvai: Q♠Q♥
Dario Delpiano: A♥K♥
The flop came K♣7♠3♠ and Delpiano took the lead with a pair of kings in the classic coin flip. The J♣ and 10♦ was not going to save Lendvai who headed to the payout desk.
Tinay Aksoy opened to 55,0000 from the button and Tim van Loo defended his big blind.
Van Loo checked on the J♥4♦A♦ flop, prompting Aksoy to fire for 35,000. Van Loo clicked it to 110,000 and was called.
The A♥ turn saw Van Loo check once more. He then folded when Aksoy bet 150,000.
Daniel Wolf started the action with a raise to 50,000 from early position. Bernard Muhire then reraised to 125,000 from middle position before Perati Muhamet four-bet jammed for 375,000 from the big blind.
Wolf rejammed with a five-bet and Muhire let it go for the other two players to show down.
Perati Muhamet: A♠A♣
Daniel Wolf: Q♠Q♦
It was looking good for Muhamet on 7♠9♥6♠8♣, but the Q♣ river saw Wolf hit his set. Muhamet's aces were cracked and he left the tournament area disillusioned, as have many other players so far on Day 5.
In a battle of the blinds, Sundiata Devore was all-in and at risk against Nicholas Rigby on the feature tables.
Sundiata Devore: K♥J♣
Nicholas Rigby: 5♦5♥
The board ran out A♦K♣9♦2♣K♦ and Devore paired his king twice to put a dent into the big stack of Rigby.
Three players, including Bradley Moskowitz in the cutoff and Faraz Jaka on the button, built a pot of around 400,000 heading to the turn on a board of 6♣J♠10♣A♣.
Action checked to Moskowitz who bet 220,000. Jaka called while John Quattlebaum folded in the big blind. The river came the 3♥ and Moskowitz checked. Jaka quickly checked behind.
Moskowitz turned over K♥Q♥ for the straight, but Jaka had 5♣3♣ for a flush to take down the pot.
Over on the right hand feature table, Minh Lieu was all-in for a mere 180,000 with the K♣J♥.
He was up against the A♥K♠ of Richard Seymour in an early position and his fate was sealed on the turn of a 6♦6♠4♦A♠3♦ runout.
On a board of Q♠9♥3♠ with about 130,000 in the pot, Maurice Hawkins checked and Nicholas Marchington bet 100,000. Hawkins made the call.
Both players checked the 8♣ turn leading to the J♠ river. Hawkins checked again and Marchington pushed a rack of red 5,000 chips forward for a bet of 500,000 total. Hawkins made the fold and Marchington collected a decent pot uncontested.
