Liran Betito raised to 250,000 and earned two calls from Karim Chatur and David Vampan. They all checked the 9♥6♣4♣ flop before the action escalated on the J♦ turn with Chatur ending up at risk versus Betito.
Karim Chatur: A♠J♠
Liram Betito: 4♦4♠
Chatur had turned the top pair and top kicker but was drawing dead to the K♣ river, as Betito claimed yet another victim.
The action folded around to Luis Yepez on the button who moved all in for just over 400,000 and Glenn Fishbein quickly called in the big blind to put Yepez at risk.
Luis Yepez: Q♣10♥
Glenn Fishbein: A♥5♣
Yepez was slightly behind, and when the board ran out K♠K♣J♦2♥8♣, Fishbein's ace-high was still good to send Yepez to the exit as he received a round of applause from the rail.
Krzysztof Mielnik moved all in for 995,000 on the button. Liran Betito asked for a count from the big blind.
"No gamble, no future," said the Israeli as he made the call.
Krzysztof Mielnik: K♠J♠
Liran Betito: A♦3♠
Betito was surprised to see he was ahead and he stayed in front on the 9♦7♠5♣2♥2♣ runout to seal the pot and elimination.
Henry Chan raised to 250,000 from the hijack and was called by both Nate Silver in the cutoff and big blind Tony Dunst.
The flop came 6♥7♠2♠ and action checked to Silver, who bet 330,000. Dunst folded 5♥5♣, but Chan raised to 1,400,000. Silver then reraised all in for 5,165,000 and Chan snap-called, having Silver barely covered.
Nate Silver: 6♦6♣
Henry Chan: 7♦7♣
The FiveThirtyEight founder and pollster understood the sheer improbability of the cooler he had just run into as Chan showed him a higher set.
Silver shot back in his chair as the board ran out Q♣3♦, sending him to the rail in brutal fashion.
David Cossio-Ruiz moved his last 960,000 into the middle from early position as the rest of the table folded around to Dean Hutchison, who called from under the gun.
David Cossio-Ruiz: 9♦9♥
Dean Hutchison: K♠10♣
Hutchison spiked a pair on the 10♠4♠7♦ flop to take the lead, and Cossio-Ruiz couldn't catch any miracles on the Q♥ turn or 4♣ river as he became the latest to hit the rail.
Action folded to Rene Lazaro in the small blind who raised to 500,000. Frank Bonacci in the big blind then reraised enough to put Lazaro all in, and Lazaro called for around 1,000,000 more.
Rene Lazaro: K♦J♠
Frank Bonacci: K♥9♣
Lazaro had Bonacci dominated until the 9♥2♣4♦ flop gave Bonacci top pair. The board ran out 5♠6♣ and Lazaro was sent to the rail.
Steven Spunt had lost the vast majority of his stack in the previous hand and was in the big blind next. Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi raised from the hijack and Bradley Moskowitz jammed all-in from the cutoff with a shorter stack.
Allen Chang moved in from the small blind while Spunt was in there from the next seat. Ohulchanskyi called all-in to create a four-way all-in on a pay jump with three players at risk.
Steven Spunt: 6♥5♣
Bradley Moskowitz: A♥K♠
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: K♥K♦
Allen Chang: 9♠9♣
The board ran out 5♠3♣2♠7♦Q♠ and Spunt fell in 81st place, while Moskowitz earned the pay jump in 80th place. Ohulchanskyi won the side pots and soared past Chang.
"I was waiting for this hand all day long," Moskowitz said before he and Spunt were escorted to the payout desk.
One last hand was running on the outer tables and it provided fireworks with a small rail gathering.
Following a raise by Mikael Berrio, Daniel Scroggins three-bet to what appeared to be 1,050,000 out of the small blind, which Berrio called.
The duo headed to the 10♥6♥2♦ flop on which Scroggins continued for 750,000, receiving a call by Berrio.
That brought them to the J♥ turn. Scroggins checked. Berrio bet 1,300,000 with around 2,500,000 behind and Scroggins jammed to see Berrio snap-call.
Mikael Berrio: J♠J♦
Daniel Scroggins: Q♥Q♣
Berrio was ahead with a set of jacks while Scroggins had hearts and the two remaining queens at his disposal.
The river brought the Q♠ and Berrio was shell-shocked for more than two minutes before slowly gathering his belongings. Scroggins jumped to a massive 27 million in chips and headed into the dinner break as the overall chipleader.
Action folded to Andrew Hulme in the small blind who limped in. Jason Magnicari in the big blind then moved all in for 2,065,000 and Hulme called.
Jason Magnicari: 8♥8♦
Andrew Hulme: A♦10♣
Magnicari was racing for his tournament life but saw the 10♠ fall on the flop to give Hulme a pair, followed by the 6♥9♠. The board ran out 3♣5♣ and Magnicari was sent to the rail.
Juan Maceiras Lapido raised from the small blind and Jonathan Therme called out of the big blind. A first barrel by the Spaniard followed on the A♦9♥8♣ flop after which Therme called with some 2,800,000 behind.
Maceiras Lapido then splashed in nine of the new one million chips after the 6♦ turn and that sent Therme into the tank.
After several minutes, Adam Walton said "I know it's a big spot but I gonna call clock in a minute" and did so one minute later.
The thirty seconds ran down and Therme called at the last second.
Jonathan Therme: Q♦9♣
Juan Maceiras Lapido: J♦4♦
The 3♦ river improved Maceiras Lapido to a flush and Therme was eliminated.
