Adam Walton made the minimum raise of 500,000 from the button and Nicholas Gerrity defended his big blind. The flop then fell 2♦10♥6♥ and both players checked.
Gerrity led for 600,000 on the 8♦ turn, but Walton responded with a raise to 1,500,000. Gerrity swiftly folded and Walton took it down.
The action folded to Steven Jones in the hijack who shipped all in for 4,100,000. Bryan Obregon thought for a minute on the button and then called to put Jones at risk.
Steven Jones: A♦Q♠
Bryan Obregon: J♠J♥
The flop came Q♣3♠2♠ and Jones picked up a pair of queens to take the lead. The 4♣ on the turn changed nothing and the K♥ on the river gave Jones the double up.
Jack O'Neill made it 500,000 to go and Ryan Tamanini called from one seat over and Carlos Henrique Da Silva came along as well. The A♥7♠2♣ flop saw a continuation bet by O'Neill and Da Silva was the only caller, since Tamanini folded.
O'Neill bet the 9♠ turn for 1,700,000 and Da Silva folded.
Pierpaola Lamanna was all in for around 4,000,000 and Dean Hutchison was the one to put him at risk. The cards were already turned up and the dealer was ready to go.
Pierpaola Lamanna: A♦Q♣
Dean Hutchison: K♠K♥
The board ran out 10♦5♣K♦A♠3♠ and Hutchison flopped a set of kings before he dodged the Broadway draw to eliminate Lamanna in 40th place for $229,000.
The action started with a raise to 550,000 by Jack O'Neill in the hijack on the Horseshoe Feature Table.
Carlos Henrique Da Silva three-bet to 1,850,000 on the button and O'Neill made it 4,550,000 to go.
Da Silva pondered his next move for a while and cut out the big chip denominations to five-bet to 7,500,000, which appeared to be half of his stack.
O'Neill then six-bet-jammed for around 15 million and that sent the Brazilian deep into the tank. After more than five minutes, the clock was called on him and Da Silva folded.
Andrew Hulme opened to 525,000 from middle position and Tim Van Loo called in the hijack before Adam Walton three-bet to 1,800,000 from the cutoff. Hulme folded and Van Loo sat still before reraising all in as Walton snap-called with the effective stack of 9,450,000.
Adam Walton: A♣Q♥
Tim Van Loo: J♣J♦
Walton was flipping for his Main Event life and got no help from the flop of 7♣4♥10♠.
"I just want a queen on the river," Walton said.
He didn't have to wait that long as the Q♠ appeared on the turn to give him the lead and his rail erupted as the K♦ river confirmed a double-up.
Joshua Payne raised to 500,000 on the button and Harsheel Kothari took a minute before shoving all in for 1,575,000 in the big blind. Payne instantly flicked in a chip to call and the cards were on their backs.
Harsheel Kothari: 9♣7♣
Joshua Payne: 9♠6♠
The flop came K♠10♠2♥ and Payne picked up a flush draw with his nine-high. The 3♣ on the turn reduced the chances of a chop and the 7♦ on the river gave Kothari the lone pair to double up.
Andrew Hulme raised to 525,000 from the hijack and Mark Teltscher flat-called from the small blind. Jan-Peter Jachtmann then made it 1,750,000 from the big blind and only Hulme made the call.
Hulme then called a 2,200,000 bet from Jachtmann on the 9♣K♠4♠ flop before the 2♣ turn was dealt. Jachtmann inquired about his opponent's stack before checking the action to him. Hulme responded with a bet of 3,000,000, and Jachtmann mucked his cards, forfeiting the pot to Hulme.
Alexander Villa opened to 525,000 from under the gun and was called by Bryan Obregon in the cutoff and Joshua Payne in the big blind. The flop came Q♣10♠5♠ and the action checked to Obregon who bet 475,000. Both Payne and Villa called.
The turn was the A♣ and Obregon fired out a second barrel of 1,300,000. Payne stepped aside this time and Villa thought for a minute but also laid his hand down.
Daniel Scroggins opened to 500,000 and Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi called from one seat over. Anirban Das then jammed for 4,700,000 and Scroggins folded while Ohulchanskyi instantly called with the covering stack.
Anirban Das: 7♦7♣
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: A♥K♣
The Q♥J♦6♠4♠5♦ board missed Ohulchanskyi and he dropped to a severe short stack.
