Henry Chan pushed all in for his last 1,900,000 in early position and was called by Ryan Tosoc on the button. Jan-Peter Jachtmann reshoved all in from the big blind and Tosoc was forced to get out of the way.
Henry Chan: 8♥8♦
Jan-Peter Jachtmann: 9♠9♣
Chan was in trouble with Jachtmann holding a pair one-better than his. The board ran out K♣6♥5♣K♦3♥ and Jachtmann's pair of nines held up to eliminate Chan.
Anirban Das raised to 600,000 from under the gun and Jack O'Neill called from one seat over, as did Steven Jones. The trio headed to the A♦8♥7♣ flop on which Das checked. O'Neill bet 600,000 and Jones called before Das went for a check-raise to 3,200,000.
O'Neill quickly folded while Jones went into a brief tank. He then opted to fold and requested "show the bluff!"
Das obliged, silently flipping over the K♥J♣ without any celebration or uproar.
"One hundred percent," Jones added and Das raked in the pot.
Jones made up for the losses in another three-bet pot soon after that only went to the turn.
Juan Maceiras Lapido opened to 600,000 from early position and the action folded to big blind Mark Teltscher, who made the call. The two saw a flop of 3♦9♦8♣ and Teltscher checked to Maceiras Lapido, who made a continuation-bet of 800,000. Teltscher then thought for a bit before going all in for around 5,000,000 chips and Maceiras Lapido snap-called.
Mark Teltscher: Q♥9♥
Juan Maceiras Lapido: 10♠10♦
Teltscher had flopped top pair but was still an underdog to Maceiras Lapido's overpair. Teltscher would receive no help on the A♠7♦ runout and he proudly left the tournament area after a deep run in the 2023 Main Event.
Henry Chan raised to 600,000 in the cutoff with K♣5♣, and Daniel Holzner flat-called on the button with A♥J♠. They went heads up to a flop of Q♣10♠2♦ and Chan continued with a bet of 650,000. Holzner called, and the K♠ landed on the turn.
Chan announced all in on the turn, and Holzner instantly called off his stack of 3,400,000.
Holzner held A♥J♠ for the nut straight and had the checkmark sealed. The river was the Q♠, and Holzner earned himself a double-up.
Juan Maceiras Lapido opened to 600,000 from middle position and Joshua Payne three-bet to 1,800,000 on the button.
"You at least have to look!" said Maceiras Lapido before calling.
"I did," replied Payne.
Maceiras Lapido checked on the flop of Q♥3♦J♥ and Payne continued for 1,400,000. Maceiras Lapido check-called again as Payne sized up to 2,700,000 when the turn brought a third heart.
Maceiras Lapido checked once more on the 4♦ river and Payne pulled the trigger with a bet of 9,500,000.
"I'm close to calling with a sh*t hand," Maceiras Lapido said before doing so.
Payne announced a flush before tabling K♥9♥ and it was good to win the sizable pot from the now-former chip leader.
Steven Jones raised to 600,000 and Ryan Tamanini raised to 1,700,000 from two seats to his left. The rest of the table was gone and Jones fired back with a shove for just over 9,000,000. Tamanini looked him up and Jones was at risk.
Steven Jones: Q♦Q♣
Ryan Tamanini: A♠K♠
The board ran out 5♦6♣7♣4♣2♥ and the queens held to secure a double for Jones.
Juan Maceiras Lapido raised to 600,000 from the cutoff and Daniel Vampan three-bet to 1,950,000 from the small blind. Maceiras Lapido made the call and a flop of 3♦Q♣10♣ was dealt.
Vampan continued for 1,075,000 before Macerias Lapido pumped out a three-bet to 3,500,000. After a while, Vampan elected to fold his hand and Maceiras Lapido raked in another pot.
Jack O'Neill chipped back up in two pots without showdown while Anirban Das and Ryan Tamanini lost a small fraction of their stacks.
Steven Jones then raised to 650,000 in the cutoff and it folded to Harsheel Kothari in the big blind. He tanked for four minutes and actively engaged in table chat, at some point asking if Jones had ace-five.
"I just think I am flipping there," Kothari added soon after before he ended up sigh-folding after all the chatter.
Adam Walton raised to 600,000 in early position and Andrew Hulme called on the button. Bryan Obregon ripped all in for 6,825,000 from the small blind and Walton called, prompting Hulme to fold his A♣9♣.
Bryan Obregon: A♠K♠
Adam Walton: J♠J♥
It was a coin flip but the flop of J♣6♥2♠ put Walton well out front with a set of jacks. The Q♥ on the turn made things sweaty but the 7♠ on the river bricked out for Obregon who exited the tournament area.
Christopher Kimmel raised to 900,000 from the cutoff as action folded to Sachin Joshi in the big blind, who three-bet to 2,100,000.
Kimmel then four-bet to 7,400,000 and Joshi, with just more than 5,000,000 remaining in his stack, snap-folded.
