Daniel Negreanu opened to 60,000 from early position before Seth Davies three-bet to 180,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Negreanu who went deep into the tank as he considered a decision that would very likely be for his tournament life. After burning through one time extension, he folded to leave himself grinding a short stack near the money bubble.
Sergio Aido raised from the hijack to 65,000 and Aliaksei Boika three-bet the cutoff to 160,000. When the action got back to Aido, he shoved all in, and Boika snap-called for his stack of around 700,000.
Aliaksei Boika: A♥K♦ 
Sergio Aido: Q♥Q♣
Aido improved to a set on the J♦Q♠6♣ flop but there was still hope for Boika as any ten would complete his Broadway draw.
However, no help arrived for Boika on the later streets as neither the 5♠ turn nor K♣ river was the ten that he was looking for, and he was eliminated.
A large pot was brewing in a hand between Adrian Mateos and Joao Vieira. With about 450,000 in the pot and the flop reading 2♠2♣5♣, Vieira bet 90,000 and Mateos made the call.
The Q♣ turn went check-check, and the river brought the 3♥.
Joao Vieira bet roughly 500,000, leaving 30,000 behind, and Mateos quickly made the call. Mateos showed A♣A♠, while Vieira tabled A♦K♦.
Vieira got his remaining 30,000 in the next hand, but couldn't find a double up and was eliminated.
Andrew Lichtenberger was already all in preflop against Samuel Ju, who had Lichtenberger covered.
Andrew Lichtenberger: A♠K♦
Samuel Ju: Q♦Q♠
It was a coin flip, but the 8♣J♣9♠6♥2♥ runout kept Ju best with his queens and Lichtenberger was eliminated.
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Michael Moncek from under the gun had Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff all in and at risk.
Daniel Negreanu: 8♦8♣
Michael Moncek: A♦10♠
Negreanu would need to win a flip to double and survive but could not do so as the board ran out A♣7♥4♠4♣9♣ to pair up Moncek and leave the Canadian superstar hitting the exit short of the money.
With over 200,000 chips in the middle and a board reading J♦K♠8♥, both Philip Sternheimer and Jonathan Jaffe checked.
The turn brought a 2♣ and Sternheimer bet 110,000, which Jaffe called.
When the 4♠ hit the river, Sternheimer checked, and Jaffe announced a big bet of 575,000. Sternheimer used some extra time to make a decision but ultimately decided to fold.
Jesse Lonis opened to 65,000 form the hijack and was called by Andy Wilson on the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs in the small blind.
Ponakovs checked to Lonis on the 5♣8♣9♣ flop and he continued for 130,000. Wilson called and Ponakovs folded.
Both players checked after K♣ turn brought a four-flush on board and it was checked down again on the 7♠ river.
“I have the six of clubs,” Wilson said as he turned over 6♣6♥ as advertised.
Lonis couldn’t beat it and sent his hand into the muck.
Action picked up on the river in a hand between Robert Salaburu, in the big blind and Yaman Nakdali, in early position.
With roughly 800,000 in the pot and the board reading 3♦4♠3♣K♥5♦, Salaburu led out with a bet of 400,000.
After a moment of thought, Nakdali put in the call and saw the bad news when Salaburu tabled Q♥3♥, for three of a kind, treys.
Level: 14
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 40,000
Artur Martirosian opened from middle position and Viktor Blom called from the cutoff. Roman Hrabec also called from the big blind.
The three players saw a flop of Q♠A♦5♠ which was checked to Blom, who fired 45,000. Hrabec folded, but Martirosian called.
On the 10♠ turn, Martirosian checked, Blom fired 185,000, and Martisorian folded.
