After a preflop raise to 210,000 from Huihan Wu and a call from Philip Wiszowaty, the two players checked all the way to the river 7♣Q♦3♥5♦A♦.
Wiszowaty checked again, and Wu then placed out a small bet of 140,000. Wiszowaty thought for a few seconds and then put in a big check-raise to 1,300,000.
After some thought, Wu made the call and was shown Q♥10♥ for a pair of queens by Wiszowaty, but Wu had that beat with A♥A♣ for top set to take down the big pot.
The remaining 25 players have been sent on a 25-minute break.
The hijack opened to 80,000, Tsolmon Jargalsaikhan three-bet jammed for 570,000 from the cutoff and Juan Carlos Vecino moved all in himself from the big blind. The original raiser folded.
Tsolmon Jargalsaikhan: Q♣J♣
Juan Carlos Vecino: A♣Q♠
Jargalsaikhan was dominated and the 5♥7♣Q♦K♠2♥ flop couldn't save him, ending his deep tournament run in 26th place.
Short-stacked Koray Aldemir got it all in preflop against Jon Glendinning, who covered.
"My hand is too good to fold," Aldemir says as he tabled his hand.
Koray Aldemir: K♥Q♥
Jon Glendinning: A♥J♥
Although king-queen is considered to be a very good hand, Glendinning still had him crushed with his dominating ace-jack of the same suit.
Aldemir did manage to spike a queen on the flop of 3♥4♠Q♣, but an ace appeared right on the turn to swing favor back to Glendinning. The river was the brick 9♠ and the 2021 WSOP Main Event Champion was sent to the rail.

Richard Kirsch moved all in for, what looked to be, 400,000 from the small blind and Jonathan Glendinning snap-called in the big blind.
Richard Kirsch: A♥10♠
Jon Glendinning: A♦J♠
The board ran out Q♥8♦9♠2♠7♦; sending Kirsch to the rail. With this bust out, 27 players remain and a three-table redraw will commence.
The pot had grown to approximately 500,000 with two players looking at a flop of 7♦K♥10♣.
Juan Carlos Vecino, in the cutoff, checked the action to Abdullah Al-Shanti, on the button. Al-Shanti bet out 80,000 and Vecino called.
The 9♣ turn checked through to the 2♥ on the river. Vecino proceeded to check-call a bet of 160,000 from Al-Shanti. Al-Shanti tabled K♣K♦ for a flopped set of kings, winning him this pot.
Abdullah "Dooley" Al-Shanti raised from the hijack position to 80,000 and Yuliyan Kolev called in the cutoff. Tsolmon Jargalsaikhan saw his chance and squeezed all in for 195,000. Dooley made the call, and Kolev folded.
Tsolmon Jargalsaikhan: Q♣10♠
Abdullah Al-Shanti: 8♠8♦
The board ran out with Q♦2♥A♦K♦7♥, and Jargalsaikhan's pair of queens gave him a much-needed boost to his stack.
